Description
Item is an articled titled, "Punjabi Sikhs and Gora Sikhs: Conflicting Assertions of Sikh Identity in North America" by Verne A. Dusenbery. It explores the relationship between a small group of North American Sikh converts, that is, the "Gora Sikhs" and large North Americans of Punjabi Sikh ancestry. It concludes that the differences between the interpretation of Sikh religion by the two groups is the reason why they do not see each other as a part of their community. On the first page, there is a mention of Piara Singh in the form of a handwritten note on the document by the author.
