Pakistan is a country with the capacity to surprise even the natives. Every now and then one comes across a story that brings one a step closer to one’s own identity and the beauty of diversity that keeps this great country going strong.
One such explored story is that of religious and cultural diversity in perfect harmony. The story is that of Officer Hercharin Singh of the Pakistan Army; the first ever Sikh to join the ranks of fellow officers who commit themselves to defending their motherland Pakistan.
Hercharin Singh belongs to a Pakistani Sikh family who like many other never seriously thought of joining the Pakistan Army or for that matter any of the elite security forces simply bacause of lack of information and dissemination by the relevant quarters.
Lieutenant Singh discloses in his interview that initially his family was not in favor of his joining the Army for unknown fears; first ever Sikh to enter the Pakistan Army. However today, Lieutenant Singh is a symbol of pride and honor for his family and the Sikh community. The Sikh youth have started to see greater possibilities in Lieutenant Singh’s accomplishment.
