Details

Second generation Sikh activism has rarely been explored by British academics and journalists, which makes this paper unique in scope.

Lecturer Dr Jagbir Jhutti-Johal and journalist Sunny Hundal cover four themes:

  • whether British Sikhs are becoming more religious
  • claims of grooming of girls
  • links between some Sikh groups and the far-right
  • whether accusations of Sikh extremism have any substance
