SIKHS IN LATIN AMERICA
|
|
PANAMA
The construction of Panama Canal provided job
opportunities for the Sikhs and its strategic location
was a plus point. A large Gurdwara exists Sindhi
contribution.
MEXICO
Some ships offloaded the Sikhs in Mexico because of the
American Govt refusal to allow them entry. They decided
to settle down in Mexico hoping that one day they can
cross the border. There is a Gurdwara in Mexico City and
there are quite a few 3HO converts who are devout Sikh
Khalsas. Small presence in Northwest provinces. The
country was basically a transit destination for USA.
Interviewed Satguru Singh Khalsa in Xalapa, 300 kms from
Mexico City. Interesting as to how he fought battles
with a public school for his son to wear patka and
succeeded.
OTHER COUNTRIES
Peru, Paraguay, and Chile mainly 3 HO.
