Swiss Sikhs are a small religious minority in Switzerland. It is estimated that there are 1,000 Sikhs in Switzerland. There are four Gurdwaras. [1]
Migration[edit]
The number of Sikhs had been higher in the mid-1980s, caused by the presence of some 3,000 Sikh asylum seekers.[2]

Baumann estimates that about a thousand Sikhs now live in Switzerland. The numbers reached their peak of 3,000 in the 1990s but then over 2,000 of those eventually emigrated to Canada or other countries.
