Twenty years after 9/11, Sikhs still feel more to do to stop victimization of mistaken identity

Immediately after the 9/11 attack, the Sikh males were targeted, especially by white supremacists, who would taunt them for their turban, beard, and similar looks to that of Islamist terrorists. 

New Delhi: Apparently, 9/11 (terrorist attacks against the US carried on September 11, 2001) had nothing to do with Sikhs, but the community inadvertently became victim to one of the ghastly attacks on the US soil carried out by Islamist terror group al-Qaeda.  Immediately after the attack, the Sikh males were targeted, especially by white supremacists, who would taunt them for their turban, beard, and similar looks to that of Islamist terrorists.  The young Sikh children were bullied in schools and marketplaces and often subjected to hate crimes of varied natures.
