Post-Partition Sikh Immigrant Experiences in the United States

The project titled, Post-Partition Sikh Immigrant Experiences in the United States, begins to explore the different factors that contributed to the migration of Sikhs to the United States. Beginning during the first decade of the 1900s, Sikhs began to migrate to the United States for a variety of reasons. It wasn\u27t until the partition of India and Pakistan in 1947 that we began to see these numbers increase dramatically. The main primary sources in this paper are oral histories from three of those immigrants during that time. With their stories, we are able to dive deeper into the different experiences that immigrants had on their journey to the United States
