Welcome to Sikh American Census

Does America know who the Sikhs are? Sikhs first came to the United States in the 1800s but even after more than 130 years Sikhs are still invisible and virtually unknown to most Americans. Our community has remained fragmented and failed to speak with a single strong voice.

Every 10 years the United States conducts a census of all Americans. It is time that Sikhs were finally counted. If we lose this opportunity to unite as a community for the 2010 Census, we will remain invisible for yet another decade. Will we organize this decade, the next decade, or decades later?

Mission

Sikh American Census is building a united Sikh community. Our goal is to facilitate communication among Sikh Americans and educate all Americans about Sikhs. To do a study and find out what our Sikh numbers are and empowering Sikhs across America.
