Sikhism is over five centuries old and is followed by over 20 million people worldwide—making it the fifth largest religion in the world. Despite this, it rarely gets any attention here in America, even though there is an estimated 78,000 Sikh adults living here, in America. Sikhism is often described as a mixture of Islam and Hinduism, because it shares many similar traits to both, but many things also make it unique to both religions. Sikhism began over five hundred years ago in present-day Pakistan, in the Punjab region, with Guru Nanak, the first of ten gurus who would teach their philosophy and fundamentals to millions. He lived during a time of great tension between Hindus and Muslims, both very strong religions. At the age of 28, he traveled to a river to bathe and meditate. It was here he felt filled with the spirit of God and said, “There is no Hindu and no Muslim.” This is where his missionary work, and Sikhism, began. Nanak traveled all over India, Arabia, and Persia, speaking in front of men and women of every religion. He spoke against…

In 1994, the Indian government implemented Prenatal Diagnostic Techniques Act, which only allows pre-conception tests to identify a deformity in the fetus. Although this law still continues to be broken, women’s rights…

Punjabi Sikhs were the first South Asians to move to North America. As far back as 1670, a Sikh was mentioned in the diary of a Colonist, as having been encountered in the company of a sea captain. They were a curiosity as South Asian migration had yet to occur. In 1903, a small trickle of Punjabis arrived in North America through Canada and half traveled onto the United States. Of them, the majority were illiterate or semi-literate from farming or military backgrounds. They left minimal…

Indian culture. 4- Collectivist culture: The Indian culture in general considered a mid-to low individualism, whereas the Sikh culture, as I observed, it is noticeably a high collectivist culture. The Sikhs believe that they all brothers and sisters. Their private lives are exposed at the temple while they were communicating with each other. They share resources with the relatives, and they support each other financially. For example, the temple that I visited had some immigrants who are…

Kevin Swander said it best when he said, “Rules are rules, and no one’s exempt.” In this quote, Swander was saying that we all are required to follow the rules, and there should be no double standard that comes with it. In Pakistan , there are different rules that people are required to obey. One of the may amendments in the Pakistani Constitution says, “There shall be no discrimination on the basis of sex”(Article 25). Yet, this law has been ignored by the Pakistanis time and time again. Thus,…
