Sikhs in Pakistan

The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) has begun the process of sending a Sikh jatha to Pakistan in April 2026 for the Khalsa Sajna Diwas (Visakhi) celebrations at Gurdwara Sri Panja Sahib, Hassan Abdal, along with visits to other historic gurdwaras.
Situation at international and South Asian regional level is changing rapidly. Geopolitical faultlines are active and all this set to impact the Punjab and the Sikhs.
The Government of India has decided to allow Sikh jathas to visit Nankana Sahib and other historic Gurdwaras in Pakistan on the occasion of the Parkash Gurpurab of Guru Nanak Dev Ji, scheduled from November 4 to 13, 2025, after having imposed a ban on such travel last month.
Sikh devotees will not be allowed to travel to Pakistan this November to mark the Parkash Gurpurab of Guru Nanak Dev Ji, as the Government of India has denied permission citing prevailing tensions and security concerns between the two countries.
The global and regional dynamics are changing rapidly, and in this shifting landscape, Punjab's geopolitical importance in South Asia has grown significantly. In this insightful lecture, Bhai Narien Singh Chaura emphasizes the crucial need for Sikhs to understand their position in the current global context. He stresses the importance of strengthening their institutions, refining their internal processes, and exploring their own sources of power while engaging with others.
Although travel between India and Pakistan remains suspended, the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) has started preparations to send a Sikh pilgrims’ jatha (delegation) to Pakistan on the occasion of Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s Parkash Purab.
While ties between India and Pakistan remain severed at various levels, the Global Sikh Council (GSC) has strongly urged the reopening of the Kartarpur Sahib Corridor, which has remained closed since May 7 following the air clashes between India and Pakistan.
Previously, Sikh Siyasat interviewed Advocate Jaspal Singh Manjhpur of Panjaab Lawyers to explore the legal dimensions of the proposed legislation. In this follow-up, journalist Mandeep Singh engages with Bhai Malkeet Singh Bhawanigarh of Sikh Jatha Malwa to discuss the Sikh perspective—especially through the lens of the Khalsa tradition of Satikar (respect) or Adab towards Guru Granth Sahib.
In this interview, journalist Mandeep Singh engages Parmjeet Singh Gazi, Editor of Sikh Siyasat, in a deep discussion on the evolving geopolitical trajectory involving India, Pakistan, and China — and its implications for Punjab and the Sikh community.
A Gurmat Samagam was held on 3 June 2025 at Gurdwara Sahib, Village Bhamme Kalan, District Mansa, Punjab. Speaking during this samagam Bhai Mandhir Singh shared his views on the changing global and regional landscapes, including shifts in international politics, geopolitics, and regional stability.
