<span lang="EN-GB">The migration history of Sikhs spans over centuries, shaped by historical, socio-economic, and political factors. Initially concentrated in the Punjab region of South Asia, Sikh migration gained momentum during the British colonial era. The late 19th and early 20th centuries witnessed a significant exodus of Sikhs, primarily to regions under British rule, such as Southeast Asia, Africa, and North America. Push factors like economic hardships, land reforms, and political unrest in Punjab, coupled with pull factors like colonial demand for labor, spurred this migration wave. Sikhs found opportunities in various industries, from agricultural work in distant lands to labor-intensive projects like building railroads and infrastructure.</span>
