Abstract
This chapter tries to offer a brief overview of the Sikh community in Barcelona. It endorses Steven Vertovec’s argument that religious and other socio-cultural dynamics develop distinctively within the realms of migration and minority status, diaspora and transnationalism (2009: 136). Thus, this study is based on the notion that the Sikh community in Barcelona is an immigrant and diasporic community, which has a minority status in Spain but belongs to a wider transnational global community.
