| Every April, Sikhs around the world celebrate one of the most religiously significant days in our faith: Vaisakhi. It is a time to reflect on the founding of Sikhism as we know it more than 550 years ago. |
| For the Sikh community in Indianapolis, however, this month also marks a tragic anniversary we all hold close to our hearts: one year since a gunman walked into a FedEx facility, senselessly murdered eight individuals and injured and traumatized many others. |

| The split screen is stomach-turning: In Ukraine, Vladimir Putin's rockets fall on fleeing refugees, missiles gash occupied apartment buildings and hospitals, and civilians huddle in metro stations as bombs fall above. |
| Outside Ukraine, mega-yachts ferry Russian oligarchs between tropical islands, private jets shuttle them to ski vacations and priceless art adorns the walls of their villas. |
| Putin's enablers – and even members of his family – live abroad in laundered luxury off the wealth they stole with his permission. |

| I try not to watch the videos anymore. |
| I still regret scrolling through Twitter during the spring of 2020 and unwittingly seeing the video of Ahmaud Arbery being shot down as he fled attackers through a Brunswick, Georgia, neighborhood. I think I was eating a peanut butter sandwich that I didn't finish. I can't unsee the image. I can't forget the violent crack of the gunshots. |
| I never watched the video of George Floyd a few months later having the life slowly, methodically choked out of him by Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin. |
| And for now, I don't have any plans to watch what's been described as a gruesome video of an unidentified police officer shooting Patrick Lyoya in the back of the head after a traffic stop in Grand Rapids, Michigan. |
| I've seen enough. |
