SIKH IN ASIA PACIFIC
|
| |
|
CHINA
The Sikh presence is more of historical importance. Sikh
policemen were a unique institution. The Shanghai police
was majority Sikhs at one time. Sikh soldiers, as a part
of British Indian Army, played key roles in several
campaigns in China. All Sikhs left the country post 1949
revolution. There are some new Sikh immigrants slowly
moving in.
S. KOREA
The Sikh migration is of recent origin over last 40
years or so. Most immigrants do not have Residence
Permits and hence are vulnerable. There seems to be no
signs of the community building long term roots in the
country. There is a large Gurdwara in a suburb of Seoul.
JAPAN
There are two disparate migrant groups, one recent
quasi-legal in Tokyo area and the other old business
focused, well rooted, Sikhs in Kobe area who have been
there since before WW II.
