CLAIM
An image of a turban-welding Sikh man on a magazine cover is being circulated on social media with a claim that it is the official cover of the Winter 2020 edition of the National Geographic magazine.
This magazine cover is being used to claim that National Geographic’s cover story features the ongoing farmers’ protests in North India.
A Sydney Sikh woman has candidly opened up about being disowned by her birth family for pursuing forbidden love with someone outside of her religion.
Next month will mark two years since Jas Kaur was abandoned by her family after she refused to fulfill their expectations of entering an arranged marriage and instead followed her heart for love outside her culture and religion.

Ms Kaur, 28, has established her own personal training business, deepened her spiritual practice to Sikhism and connected with hundreds of women in a similar situation she was in a few years ago.
