With 24 hours notice, I flew from New York to New Delhi to help my father care for sick family members.
My grandmother s condition began to worsen and we had to find an available hospital bed, but there were very few options.
In the week since I arrived in India, I lost friends and family members all I could do was write condolence messages.

Four of the eight people killed in the shooting in Indianapolis last week were Sikhs.
There are more than 500,000 Sikhs in the US, but most Americans don t know who we are.
I wish more Americans were curious about people of other faiths.

Eight people were shot dead in Indianapolis last week in another act of senseless gun violence.
The fact that four of the eight people killed and two of the five people injured were from the Sikh faith and that about 90% of the workers at the facility are Sikh raised concerns that this was a hate crime targeting the community.
