Yes, he was in Basra long before Americans even knew about Basra. He lived in Kuwait for almost two decades working as an engineer abroad a ship and then in an airport. He speaks Arabic but he says he is an American at heart. He loves chanting "God Bless New York" because for Harjinder Singh Duggal, New York is the best thing that has ever happened to him.
Duggal came to the United States in 1986. Born in India to a Sikh family, Singh, 64, is an unusually energetic man. One of the reasons he loves New York is because he thinks even the criminals are polite in this city. You've to watch the video (coming soon) to find out why.
Duggal, who once used to be an engineer, is one of the five Sikhs to be elected to the Queens County Democratic Committee in 2006. He has driven gypsy cabs, run newspaper stands, lobbied for social security, fought for equality of minorities and says he is a good friend of the Clintons. He has photos to prove it. How New Yorky can it get?
