I know that when a family of Sikhs moved into my neighborhood they had a lot of problems. Mostly, I think, was that people assumed they were Muslim and were wary of them. I got to know them and they were very nice and very moral. I learned about their faith and I hadn't known much about it before. Sadly they moved away and I feel sad to see their house sitting empty.

---- "Sikhs while tryin to maintain their cultural identity in a foreign land"----
"Turban" is not a "cultural Identity"---It is a religious practice-even Hindus in certain parts of North India wear Turbans as a part of their religious belieffs and during marriages it is compulsary-But they do not strictly adhere to,as Sikhs do.

They look different from most of the people, So local mean minded people don't like it. They should not care about others, if they are not doing anything wrong.They are well settled at many places in the world.

they are mistaken for muslims by idiots, and are harassed even more than muslims, since they have a head dress
