Bienvenidos a la comunidad Sikh de la Argentina!
In the spirit of offering profiles of Sikh communities around the world, I wanted to share this article on a small but thriving Sikh community in Argentina:
The Sikhs originally came to Argentina in the early 19th century to work on a British-built railroad. Later, in the 1970s, others came after being barred entry to Canada and the United States, the preferred destinations, along with Britain, for the emigrants.
At the time, Argentina seemed the most promising of South American nations, and so they stayed, eventually concentrating in the north, which reminded them of the scrappy mountains and plains of Punjab.
Today, there are 300 of them, many of whom run supermarkets and other shops.
The article highlights the solo Sikh gurdwara in Argentina and the prevalence of interreligious marriages. The Catholic-Sikh connection parallels, in part, the history of Latino-Punjabi (Catholic-Sikh) marriages in California during the Asian Exclusion Act years. The small community fears, however, that practice will continually erode, especially with the high out-marriage rate:
Mixed marriages with Catholic Argentines are common. Although they are increasingly integrated, the temple is an emblem of their adherence to their roots….
The marriages to non-Sikh Argentines means “keeping one’s religion becomes almost impossible,” he said, adding: “I think the third generation is the one that will lose the most.”
I thought this was an interesting divergence, because other small Sikh communities in other countries continue to thrive and maintain their identity. Perhaps one of the key differences is the religious diversity among immigrants or within the country itself? (although how that would apply to Catholic Italy is an open question).

Thank You Camille for this interesting article about the Sikhs in Argentina.
I hope the Sikhs in Argentina will be able to spread Sikhi to their children who speak mostly Spanish through the Incredible Seva that Bhai Ji Singh Sahib Babaji Singh Khalsa in translating the Sri Guru Granth Sahib into Spanish.
We at Sikhitothemax spent this year uploading the Spanish Translation into the website and will also soon be on the new Sikhitothemax 2 Desktop version. This Seva was not possible with out the joint collaboration with SikhNet.
We must stress that this seva is minor compared to years it took for the translation. We hope the Sangat in the US where their is a large Latino population and also Sikhs in South America use this to do Parchar of our Religion to those who speak Spanish.
You can access the relevant page here:

There is a short article here on how to use the system.

Both of us (pair) have the studies from indian universities.We both tie turban.We are proud to do this .Happy with the life.Our parents are living in india. The best of ARGENTINA is that the people do not discriminate us.They do accept theIndian communityThe problem is that due to day by day costly rates of airlines it is dificult to take away the entire family.The gap of time between the traveling is too much.This reason takes away the children from the culture.The other reason that I have seen is that having the own shops the parents give much more time to the work and their is a negligence to their children. 3rd reason is the difference of language.The level of english is verry low. Thaks to read this article. since left india did not write in english so there are to much mistakes .sorry for that. Waheguru ji ka khalsa Waheguru ji ki fateh.

This article states there are only 300 Sikhs living in Argentina. I'm having a hard time believing the number would be that low. I heard before the number was around a couple thousand instead. From someone living there, Baljit or Jaswinder, could you tell me an accurate number of the Sikh people in Argentina?

We are a family of Brazilian Sikhs in number of 5 people.
3 child, Dharam Singh 6, Suraj Singh 4 and Anoushka Kaur 1.
My Wifes name is , Amrit Kaur. We are Brazilians.
We would like to visit the city of Rosário and the community Sikh place and your Gurdwara. Here in Brazil we are not respected and our children and me suffer prejudice because they use turban and they call us of Osama Bin Laden.
We are musicians.
I am Ragi, I studied in Amritsar, I sing, play sitar, tabla and dilruba.
I am plastic artist and I make Hindu and Buddhist Murtis.
We looked for a place where us and our children can live a little of the culture of India. We don't have conditions to live in India for that would like of a closer place of Brazil.
