Let me start with a confession: I don’t follow sports at all. I’m aware enough to know the story of the Toronto Raptors, though I’ve never been to a single basketball game. Nav Bhatia though fell in love with basketball in the 1990s, and when the NBA brought a team to Toronto in 1995, Bhatia bought tickets, and then never missed a home game until the pandemic brought his attendance streak to an end. He turned a passion for the game into an opportunity to share both his love for the sport and his pride in his Sikh heritage.
Bhatia’s story is not unlike that of many immigrants to Canada. He and his wife, Arvinder, left India in 1984, in the wake of the anti-Sikh riots that followed the assassination of Indira Gandhi by her Sikh bodyguards. The Bhatia’s life in Toronto may have been safer, but it wasn’t problem free.
