This Sikh Taxi Driver Is An Inspiration To All. Delivers Free Food To The Needy In Australia

Tejinder Singh, the Sikh taxi driver in Darwin, Australia who had a racist experience in 2012, turned the episode into an inspiration to help the homeless in the city. The incident motivated him to help the poor, homeless and those in need.

According to Nine News Darwin report, the selfless migrant Sikh cooks 30 kgs of food last Sunday of every month, and he has been following this ritual for last three years ever since the incident took place. He cooks authentic Indian cuisine and after a 12-hour night shift takes off on Sunday mornings with his son Navdeep, in his van, to deliver food to the homeless in and around the city. "I do something for homeless people, so they get more energy so they're happy", Singh was quoted telling Channel 9 in an interview.

"My religion says 10 percent of income goes towards needy and poor people no matter they belong to your religion or any religion," he said.

Tejinder was recognised as 'Australian of the Day' on August 5, an initiative by the Commonwealth Bank to recognise ordinary citizens doing exemplary work. He is being celebrated in Australia for his efforts to feed the hungry and the homeless. All this to honour his efforts towards extending a helping hand for the needy.

Tejinder has rejected monetary aid from his supporters on several occasions, and instead motivated and encouraged them to start their own food drives. His primary motive behind starting the service was to do away with the prejudice that residents associated with turbans in that area.

In a world with so much hate and enmity, people like Tejinder are a ray of hope to spread positivity, love, brotherhood and stand for the message of a united world.
