While Everyone’s Busy With Armchair Activism, The Sikhs Are Out There Helping Rohingya Refugees

The world is currently witnessing one of the worst humanitarian crisis in Myanmar. According to the United Nations estimates, around 2.70 lakh Rohingya Muslims have already fled to Bangladesh and even more are trapped at the border. The Myanmar government led by Aung San Suu Kyi is being criticised around the world for not handling the situation well and curbing what is considered to be a gross violation of basic human rights.

While the world is more or less doing armchair activism around the Rohingya crisis, the Sikhs are fortunately walking the talk. A group of Sikh volunteers has now reached the Bangladesh side of the border to help Rohingyas get free food and water. 

 
 

A team of volunteers from Sikh organisation, Khalsa Aid, has reached Bangladesh-Myanmar border to provide relief to the lakhs of Rohingya Muslim families fleeing Myanmar.

Currently, there are more than three lakh refugees who are homeless in their own country that have taken refuge in Teknaf, a Bangladesh border town. The conditions are deplorable, to say the least.
But images like these restore our faith in humanity. That there are a few people left in the world who care for others. This Sikh volunteer is a beacon of hope.
