Dr. Narinder Singh Kapany is a notable name amongst this year honor roll for India’s Padma Vibhusan awards announced on its 72nd Republic Day. I wonder how he w...ould have felt about the timing of this award, coming at a time of great turmoil for the community when Punjab and indeed India’s farmers are struggling to retain their land and livelihoods. These are exceptional times indeed. Through the years that I have known him, Dr. Kapany, embodied Guru Nanak’s philosophy of kirt karo, naam japo wand ke chako ( work, pray and share). He continued doing his work whether recognitions came or not. Even though he left India, decades ago he never forgot his homeland, his Sikh roots and heritage. Whenever anyone from Punjab visited him, the first question he would ask is Punjab da ke haal hai. Whenever I returned from a visit to Punjab, I would prepare my answer in advance knowing fully well that this would be his first question to me. My remembrance of him was recently published in Darpan magazine's latest issue. The piece was written weeks before the award and does not reflect it. https://darpanmagazine.com//a-remembrance-dr-narinder-sin/ Darpan Magazine
