Sikhism in Switzerland
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Swiss Sikhs are a small religious minority in Switzerland. It is estimated that there are 1,000 Sikhs in Switzerland. There are four Gurdwaras.[1]
Migration
The number of Sikhs had been higher in the mid-1980s, caused by the presence of some 3,000 Sikh asylum seekers.[2]
