We have different religions and beliefs but this awe-inspiring story tells us that we are one in our faith in humanity.

Aucklander Harman Singh become an instant internet star because of his heroic deed after witnessing a car accident involving a 5-year-old boy in Auckland, New Zealand. The 22-year-old Singh is from India but is currently in Auckland studying a business course. According to Singh, he was in bed when he heard tyres screeching so he hurriedly went outside.

Harman Singh didn’t hesitate to break  religious protocol when he removed his Sikh turban in public to help someone and was commended by many people worldwide.

I saw a little boy lying in the road and there was a lot of blood coming from the back of his head.

The boy was on his way to school with his sister when the accident happened. The selfless Sikh did the unthinkable when he removed his turban to tend a seriously injured boy.

‘I started to roll my turban up but I put it back on again,’ he explained. I thought afterwards that this had been a bit of a mistake. When I saw the little boy was bleeding I decided this time I would take the turban off and use it. Anyone would have done the same.
