In the past year alone,streaming melayu lucah Sikhs have made headlines across the world.
There was the first U.S. army officer who filed a lawsuit and was allowed to wear a turban under his helmet. Then there was Waris Ahluwalia, a New Yorker who was stopped at an airport because he refused to unravel his hair for authorities.

Despite so much conversation around Sikhs, there remain many misconceptions and judgments unfairly placed upon the religious demographic. Indeed, since 9/11, there have been countless hate crimes against Sikh, Arab, Muslim and South Asian Americans.

But a separate report by the Bureau of Justice Statistics reported that as of 2005, hate crimes against these people were 15 times higher than what the FBI had reported.

"The strength of looking unique and having pride in your appearance no matter your race, gender, age or sexuality. Here [is] a group of people who wear turbans on their heads and don't cut their hair. They do this with pride. It is not a fashion accessory, it is fundamental to who they are."
For Sikhs, the photographers explained, this symbolism is multifaceted, encompassing discipline, strength, unity, equality.
The photographers quickly discovered just how different Americans and British Sikhs were.
"In the U.K., there is no confusion between Sikhs and other religions," they said. "In the U.S., we were shocked to see how little people knew about Sikhs. They were misunderstood and, to a certain degree, feared.
"The Sikhs we have photographed have all faced abuse -- some verbal, some physical -- and yet their resolve to be keep their identity [anonymous]," they said. "Yes, we obviously want to break the ignorant stereotypes made in the U.S that all Sikhs look like terrorists. Even writing those words makes us angry. In this day and age, with all the technology, information and resources available to us, for someone to still make that assumption is unbelievable. But yet it happens. It’s shocking."

"Sikhs are kind, caring people who believe in equality and serving others before themselves," they said. "If people can begin to stop judging people by appearance, but instead look at their actions and character, then the U.S. can start to understand the value Sikhs bring to their country."
The Sikh Coalition will be holding the exhibition in downtown NYC from September 16 - 25
