Sikh Refugees

Sikh refugees are members of the Sikh community who have fled their home countries, mainly India, due to persecution, conflict, or fear of violence targeting their religious identity. Many sought safety abroad, especially in countries like Canada, the UK, and the United States, where they could practice their faith freely. Their migration has led to vibrant Sikh diaspora communities, preserving their religious practices, traditions, and culture while contributing to their new societies. The refugee experience often includes significant challenges like displacement, adapting to new environments, and maintaining their religious identity amidst change.
