Sikhism in the United Kingdom
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sikhism was recorded as the religion of 336,179 people in the United Kingdom at the 2001 Census.[1] (Other sources regard the Sikh population as being between 600,000[2] and 750,000.)[3] While England is home to the majority of Sikhs in the UK, small communities also exist in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
