London - A British Sikh policewoman is expected to win a five-figure payout after an employment tribunal ruled that she had suffered racist and religious humiliation at the hands of her trainer.

According to the Daily Express, Amandeep Kaur Grewal has claimed that she was singled out for unfair criticism and treatment because of her race by her trainer. The panel ruled that Grewal, who is now a policewoman in Kingston, southwest London, had been unfairly targeted. It found the Met guilty of race and religious discrimination. Compensation will be decided later.

In June, Sikhs all over the world commemorate the shahidi (martyrdom) of Sri Guru Arjan Dev ji - the 5th Guru of the Sikhs.

This year, let us do an ardas for ourselves and loved ones..."Sikhi kesa swasa naal nibhjay" and "Tera bhanaa mithaa lagay". May Guru ji bless us all with the 'bal' to walk on his path. Gurfateh.
