The Hindu faith in America is complex and compelling, and it is determined to find a home in America far from the land of its birth - India. The first American Hindus were pathfinders, nurturing Hindu philosophy until it gained acceptance in society. Today, Hindu temples dot the American landscape and unite Hindu peoples eager to have their ancient religious principles co-exist in a modern, technological country. Hindu and Sikh Faiths in America also addresses the historical, ethical, and moral issues of the Sikh religion and its noteworthy entrance into traditions in America. From humble immigrants laboring in the timber trades in 1910, the Sikh tradition has flourished here in America as followers developed businesses, restaurants, and farms. This volume explores the couplet history of Hinduism and Sikhism in America and looks at the valuable contributions Sikhs and Hindus have made to the quality of life in the U.S.
