Amardeep Singh worked in the corporate sector until he was inspired to leave his job and research his family roots and the heritage of the Sikh community in the subcontinent. He travelled around Pakistan for 30 days and realised a large part of the Sikh heritage was lost.
Mr Singh then set about organising his research and has since published it as a coffee table book.
He was in Islamabad for promoting his book, Lost Heritage: The Sikh Legacy in Pakistan, where Dawn caught up with him to talk about his experience in Pakistan and his book.
