Abstract

ABSTRACTYoung Sikh millennials live complex processes of religious identity redefinition. They depict themselves as a homogeneous community. However, they confront themselves with a strong internal pluralism regarding orthodoxy. In addition, young people raise generational issues that lead them to differentiate themselves from their parents and to distinguish Sikhism from Punjabi culture. Based on semi-structured interviews, the paper shows that living and making Sikhi in Italy are processes where the ties to a delocalized and transnational community and the reference to the past prove to be very important to make Sikhism consistent with the history of the local context.
