He entered to learn. He left as an international champion. 🏆
Sahijveer Roopra, a young Sikh student at Boston University, has secured 1st place at the 2026 International Sikh Youth Symposium, competing against Sikh youth from across North America.
His debate focused on “Begumpura Sehar Ko Naao,” the powerful vision of a society without discrimination and inequality by Bhagat Ravidas Ji.
But the biggest achievement may not have been the trophy. After years of looking up to older participants as mentors, Sahijveer returned this year to find younger Sikh students looking up to him.
From competitor to champion.
From learner to mentor.
And from achievement to seva.
