Reflections on Sikh Dharma at Fifty

Our panel on Sikh Dharma at Fifty, organized for the May 2023 Sikh studies conference at the University of California-Riverside, allowed me to update what I have previously written on 3HO/Sikh Dharma in light of recent developments affecting the organization. Here I reflect further upon (1) the internal evolution of Sikh Dharma and the self-identities of its followers, (2) the impact of Sikh Dharma – both the organization and its followers – on other Sikhs and Sikhi in North America, and (3) ways in which Sikh studies scholars have written about 3HO/Sikh Dharma positioning for the wider Sikh Panth.
