Sikhs have been particularly drawn to Canada because of \u0027parallel value systems,\u0027 said Sardar Harjeet Singh Grewal, who teaches in the department of classics and religion at the University of Calgary
“Sikhs see the most semblance of connection to what Canada represents,” Grewal added, noting that there is now a secondary migration of Sikhs from Britain to Canada. Some of the elements drawing Sikhs to Canada include an emphasis on humanity and equality, he said.
Neilesh Bose, an associate professor and Canada research chair at the University of Victoria in British Columbia, also noted that while Sikhs are a small minority in India, they make up a large portion of the South Asians in Canada. That has contributed to an outsize prominence of Sikhs in how Canadians perceive South Asia, he said.
“After that moment, any public discussion about Sikhs, any Sikh politician… would always be asked about their potential linkages to any terrorist groups or to Khalistan, which coloured how they were understood in a way that didn’t occur before that,” Bose said. And though the event has drawn comparisons to the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in the United States, the Air India bombing did not set off a dynamic of bigotry toward Sikhs in Canada as extreme as the one inflicted on Muslims in the United States after 9/11, he said.
