Harjeet Singh was left shaken by the in March this year.
He has now been featured in a video titled 'A Turban Fan'. Harjeet is seen with spoken-word poetry artist, Sukhjit Kaur Khalsa in the video, explaining the turban through hip hop music.
"See this thing, this thing I wear? It's a turban man.. it covers my hair. You can have a look, maybe you'll stare but listen to his story and you might just care," the rap lyrics go.
The video has been produced by Sukhjit Kaur Khalsa. She got in touch with Harjeet's family after he was subjected to the attack.
"The motivation behind creating this video was to ignite that fire and exclaim to the world my understanding of the turban. I don't believe the Sikh gurus gave us the turban because they thought it was an easy ride, they gave it because they knew we could handle the struggles and trials that come with the turban," Sukhjit told SBS Punjabi.

"I really wanted to meet Harjeet Singh and his family to create a rap and empower Harjeet and other victims to know that they have a fighter within them and practicing love and compassion negates any hate from bigots, the ignorant and scared people in society," she added.
While the video propagates equality in the language that the may resonate with the youth, it also has a very firm message to the 'haters'.
"I'm the one you notice ..I don't run I can't hide ..If you need to spew your hate ..I'll take it with pride."
"Get it out of your system..Take it out on me.. So all the other kids.. Can get off free. I'll take your worst.. It don't matter to me.. Cause I got a turban and It makes me free."
