Pakistan’s first Sikh woman journalist has been named among 100 most influential Sikh personalities under 30 years of age in the world by a UK-based global Sikh organisation. Manmeet Kaur, 25, has been selected for the award by ‘The Sikh Group’, a global organisation recognising people of Sikh faith from around the world, the Express Tribune reported.
She will receive her award next year at a ceremony in Britain.
A resident of Peshawar, Kaur is also a social activist, who has received awards in Pakistan for highlighting issues faced by minorities and women.
