Digging into Sikh heritage in West Bengal

AGMOHAN Singh Gill, a 56-year-old transportation entrepreneur from Dum Dum, Kolkata, has become an unlikely historian, blending his passion for Sikh history with his roots in Bengal. His recent book, Exploring the Sikh Roots in Eastern India, has garnered widespread acclaim.

Gill's journey into Sikh history began in his childhood. Raised in Kolkata, he was always fascinated by the Sikh community's presence in Bengal. "Growing up, I spent hours sitting in the Gurdwara, eager to understand the faith and its historical journey in this region," says Gill, reflecting on his early curiosity.
