The book Sikhs of New Jersey: The Pioneers from Punjab travels throughmore than a century of time. It escorts the reader back to thestruggles of pioneer Sikhs who suffered torture and racial discrimination at the hands of Canadian and West Coast Americans whiletrying to establish themselves as a SikhAmerican immigrant community. Indian Sikhmigration to the East Coast of America wasmore favorable because of the relaxed immigration laws, and the migrants to that area were educated, thus allowing them to pursue higher education and better career opportunities. is book clearly describes how a handful of New Jersey Sikh families established a vibrantcommunity and a place of worship through their farsightedness, determination and valor in the early 1970s. The internal confl icts of the SikhGurdwara management, the writer points out, are in no way unique to the Sikhs; they inflict all religious places. Even though the author rarely suggests solutions, she is hoping that the younger, educated generation will takea proactive lead in the management of theirGurdwaras and find answers to the challenges which they will face in the future. It is no coincidence that the publication of this book is occurring in the year 2019, the year of the 550th birth celebration of Guru Nanak. It is intendedto bring home the universal message of Baba Nanak to all humanity that Ik On Kaar-the same light-spirit prevails in each of us and LOVE is the way to reach within!!!Surinder Kaur Puar is also the author of Lightof Santpura, Mother's Day Bliss and PunjabiLanguage Simplifi ed.
