"We go to various colleges and museums and we just stop by and tell short stories of individuals from Sikh history or from the Punjab in India and their connections to Oxford in the spaces that these little histories took place," Mr Singh said.
He said Mr Barker's book The Flying Sikh: Hardit Singh Malik had served as "a centre" and more stories had been added since.
Hardit Singh Malik studied at Balliol College, becoming the first person to join the RAF as a non-British officer, and fought in World War One.
