ਗੁਰੂ ਤੇਗ ਬਹਾਦਰ ਗੁਰਦਵਾਰਾ, ਲੈਸਟਰ
Guru Tegh Bahadur Gurdwara, Leicester

Sikhs have been settling in Leicester since the end of the Second World War. The opening of the Sikh Gurdwarasin Leicester, in 1960, reflects the growth of the city’s Sikh population. By 2011, the Sikh population of the city had risen to 14,457, representing 4.4% of the city’s population (compared to 0.8% nationally). This Sikh presence continues to contribute very significantly to the social, political and religious life of the city and is especially evident at the annual Vaisakhi celebrations, attracting thousands of people from across Leicester and the Midlands, to a march through the streets of the city centre.

A sincere thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to the Panthic Meeting on Kakkar Protection last week at Guru Tegh Bahadur Gurudwara, Leicester.
The meeting provided an important opportunity to reflect on the sadness felt across the community following the tragic loss of Henry Novak, discuss the significance of the Kirpan, current legislation, community responsibility and how we can continue working together to promote understanding and cohesion.
A strong message emerged throughout the event: there is no place for racism, hate crimes, or prejudice in our communities, and we must stand united against all forms of discrimination.
Thank you to Sukhjeet Singh, Amandeep Singh, Kav Singh, Monty Singh, Dilbagh Singh, Kartar Singh, Gurnam Singh, Satwinder Singh Deol and Raj Manvinder Singh for organising and leading the discussion.
Thank you also to Shockat Adam MP Leicester South, Christine from Stand Up To Racism, Sital Singh Gill, Ismail Shaffi from the Council of Mosques Leicestershire and everyone who attended and contributed to the discussion.
A special thank you to Channel Punjab for recording the event and helping share this important conversation with the wider community. ... See MoreSee Less
