Street in NYC renamed Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji to honour his legacy

In USA, a stretch of a street in New York City has been named after Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur, honouring the ninth Sikh Guru’s "legacy for sacrifice, compassion, and unwavering stand for justice". The move is being celebrated by Sikh communities in both the United States and India as a milestone in acknowledging Sikh heritage on a global platform. The intersection of 114th Street and 101st Avenue in Richmond Hill, Queens -- home to the historic Gurdwara Makhan Shah Lubana-will now be known as Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji Marg Way. Union Minister for Petroleum and Natural Gas Hardeep Singh Puri in a social media post called it a “proud moment” for the Sikh community. “This befitting honour highlights the significance of the Sikh community in Richmond Hill and recognises the contribution of Sikh heritage to the cultural fabric of New York City where I have lived during my posting as the Permanent Representative of India to the United Nations from 2009 to 2013,” the former diplomat wrote on X.

The decision, approved by the New York City Council earlier this year, was formally commemorated during a special renaming ceremony held over the weekend on the eve of Diwali. NYC Council Member Lynn Schulman, who moved the resolution for the renaming, said the gesture honours Guru Tegh Bahadur’s enduring message of tolerance and selfless service. "This move will honour the ninth Sikh Guru’s legacy of sacrifice, compassion and unwavering stand for justice," Schulman said in a post on X.
