Cricketer Kapil Dev, while attending the state government event to mark Parkash Utsav of Guru Nanak here today, presented his book on Sikhism to Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh, former PMDr Manmohan Singh and Governor VP Badnore.
Bound in bright red, the book bears a gold inscription marking the title “We the Sikhs around the world”.
The book has been authored by Dev with the help of a Dubai-based friend. It is regarding 100 gurdwaras across the world. It bears photographs and text about these gurdwaras and is based on a concept envisioned by the cricketer himself.
He added, “When you travel across the world and meet people, you realise the importance of Sikhism and the huge impact it has. People have worked so hard to preserve this legacy. So with the help of a friend from Dubai, I began this project to talk about gurdwaras across the world that are doing great work.
