Why isn't Britain as successful as Canada when it comes to Sikh politicians?
NihalAvailable for over a year
Canada now has four Sikhs in it's cabinet - even more than India. Why has this not happened in the UK? Sikh immigrants didn't move to Canada any earlier than Britain - in fact a lot of them went over after what happened in Amritsar in 1984. So why is Britain so far behind when it comes to getting Sikhs into positions of power? Is lack of unity holding Sikhs back here - are there more barriers? Suresh, Sikh convert Harjit and Sartaj share their views with Nihal (Photo copyright: Reuters)
