BACKGROUND
Amardeep Singh has travelled across 126 cities and villages in Pakistan and documented the remnants of the Sikh legacy for posterity in two books titled, ‘LOST HERITAGE The Sikh Legacy in Pakistan’ and ‘THE QUEST CONTINUES: LOST HERITAGE The Sikh Legacy in Pakistan’. This research is a first comprehensive attempt in seven decades.
GOAL
The objective of raising funding is to enable placement of the two books set in the libraries of Schools and Colleges across India, in institutions across Pakistan and libraries across North America. This is aimed to enable the youth reconnect with the glorious past of the dispersed Sikh community that is now deprived of access to their ancestral lands. It also aims to make the world aware of these lost chapters of the Sikh legacy. On DVN, our current goal is to raise enough funds to place 150 books.
BUDGET
Printing cost = $6000
Distribution cost = $3900
Above costs to produce these publications do not included the field research cost in Pakistan to explore the remnants of the Sikh legacy)
