Sikh Religious Society of Chicago

Sikhs, an Asian Indian Community, found United States a peaceful home over 150 years ago and have considered United States an important and a necessary part of their lives. Early ‘American Sikhs’ were mostly farmers and hardworking honest laborers. These immigrants help build U.S. railroads as they established their place in the Community. The United States Constitution allows people in the US to have freedom of religion, freedom of Speech, a free press, and free assembly. The ‘American Sikh’ immigrants have respectfully adopted these rules; and continue to reap benefits of freedom of speech, religion, press and assembly.
In 1974 Sikhs formed Sikh Religious Society, a non-profit organization, in Palatine, Illinois. Sikh Religious Society-Palatine Gurudwara formally held the first Prakash Divas (the ceremonial acceptance of Guru GRANTH Sahib {Sikh’s holy scripture/book} at this new place of worship in 1975.
