Harjinder Singh Kukreja adds another feather to his cap, becomes first Sikh to snorkel wearing turban
Ludhiana: The famous social entrepreneur and social media influencer from Punjab, Harjinder Singh Kukreja (Harjinder Singh) has once again made the name of Punjab shine all over the world. Harjinder Singh Kukreja was seen snorkeling with his turban in Maldives, a beautiful independent island nation in the north-central Indian Ocean. He was also the first Sikh to skydive with his turban in St Kilda, Melbourne, Australia in 2014 and the first Sikh to scuba-dive with his turban in Antalya, Turkey in 2016.
Harjinder Singh kukreja's aim is to create continued interest and respect for the Sikh turban and all other religious symbols. In 2022, Harjinder Singh Kukreja became the first Sikh to snorkel in the Indian Ocean with a turban.
For Harjinder Singh Kukreja, the exhilarating snorkeling experience with a full turban among the coral reefs and fish of the Indian Ocean sends a clear message that a life with a turban is full without any obstacles.
Harjinder Singh Kukreja, the owner of a renowned restaurant is always eager to enhance the respect of Punjabis and reach where no one has gone before. “The turban is an expression of my faith and my love for my values close to my heart. Sikhs revere their turbans or headgear of all communities—the hijab, the Maldivian thaqiha hat and even the colorful headgear of Dukku—African men and women.
Harjinder's wife Harkirat Kaur Kukreja, a parenting and family travel influencer said, “Harjinder is the unofficial ambassador of the Sikh people. His next destination may be a trip to the moon with his sky blue turban and like Neil Armstrong we will all be happily saying, "Another small step for Kukreja, but one giant leap for Sikhs!"
