Ludhiana-born Anshdeep Singh has created history by becoming the first Sikh officer to be included in U.S. President Donald Trump's security squad.  He was inducted after he successfully completed all the rounds of rigorous training set for the important job.

Anshdeep's family hailed from Kanpur, but after the 1984 riots, his father, who is a bank employee, got a transfer to Ludhiana where he got married and eventually moved to the US in 2000 when Anshdeep was around 10 years old.

However, this prestige and rank didn't come easily for the officer. Earlier, Anshdeep was asked to compromise and modify his physical appearance before his induction, which was challenged by him in court. Eventually, the judgement was in his favour and he was successfully inducted. Anshdeep's achievement is a proud moment indeed for the entire Sikh community across the globe.

Ludhiana-born Anshdeep Singh Bhatia refused to change his 'looks' & went to court against this rider.

Sikh sangat is proud as he now becomes the first turbaned Sikh to be inducted into US President's security detail.
