Sikhism in Panama

With the boom of labour opportunities, a large number of immigrants saw Panama as a place of fortune. Sikhs came first as construction workers for [[Panama Railroad|transcontinental rail road link]]. During 1864, among the population of [[New Grenada]], for which Panama City was part there of then, out of 27.47 lac{{clarify}}, 1.6lac <ref>{{Cite book|title=Ottis, Fassenden Nott (1867). Isthmus of Panama :History of Panama railroad. Harper & Brothers. p. 264.}}</ref> was Sikh population. Many Sikhs left Isthmus after the completion of the rail link but a large number remained and settled there.

== Spread ==

When work on [[Panama Canal]] started in 1890, they worked for digging canal as manual labourers, as very few machinery was available by that time. Punjabi and specially among them Sikh labourers worked under odd conditions meeting challenges of yellow fever. British and American officials preferred Sikh labourers over others because of their perceived hard work ethics and characteristics to withstand harsh conditions of work. The Panama canal was completed in 1913-14. By that time all along Sikhs had maintained a weekly congregation, reciting Gurbani path, in houses by rotation. Punjabi early settlers who came to Panama started working in jobs like watchmen or sold daily use articles as petty businessmen, till they were absorbed in Panama Canal construction work by an American company. With the completion of the canal, many of them had earned enough money by dint of hard work working in elongated hours to set up their own businesses or became land owners and did farming in fields. One among them was Rattan Singh, who built his financial company, and became a founding father of Gurdwara Guru Nanak Sahib, Panama along with another Parkash Singh and many others from their voluntary contributions. Gurdwara is well established and was inaugurated in 1986.<ref name=":0" /> Gurdwara is managed by Guru Nanak Sahib Civic Society, Panama.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Religions of the World: A Comprehensive Encyclopedia of Beliefs and Practices, 2nd Edition|url=https://archive.org/details/religionsworldvo00melt|url-access=limited|last=Melton|first=J.

Guru Nanak Sahib Civic Society.}}</ref>

== Establishment of Higher Education System ==
One such weekly congregation resulted in the formation of Panamanian Medical and Management Corporation of Higher Education (PMMC) which set forth a Medical degree programme in Panama.<ref name=":0" />

== Present generation ==

After closure of Panama Canal Project and further formation of the independent Republic of Panama, many Sikhs returned to their homeland in India, others migrated to Canada, the United Kingdom and other European countries. But still a large number settled there. After the establishment of Panama Canal and American military bases in Panama, many new immigrants including Sikhs came and settled there as permanent residents. Recent interviews of some of fourth generation Panamanian Sikhs by Sikh channel of U.K., has revealed that those who settled are engaged in financial businesses owning financial companies, owning agricultural lands cultivating bananas and other crops, owning departmental stores, restaurants etc. Some of these joined civil and military services. There are many among these as Sindhi Sikhs who believe in ten gurus and attend [[Gurdwara]] regularly. There is only one Gurdwara in Panama. Many interviews by [[Sikh Channel]] are revealing oral history of presence of 4th generation Sikhs in Panama.

'''''Fortune''''' is an American [[multinational corporation|multinational]] business magazine headquartered in [[New York City]]. It is published by Fortune Media Group Holdings, owned by Thai businessman Chatchaval Jiaravanon. The publication was founded by [[Henry Luce]] in 1929. The magazine competes with ''[[Forbes]]'' and ''[[Bloomberg Businessweek]]'' in the national business magazine category and distinguishes itself with long, in-depth feature articles.<ref name="NYT1994" />

The magazine regularly publishes ranked lists, including the [[Fortune 500|''Fortune'' 500]], a ranking of companies by [[revenue]] that it has published annually since 1955.<ref>{{cite news |title=What Happened to the First Fortune 500? |first=Erika |last=Fry |magazine=Fortune |url=http://fortune.com/2014/06/02/first-fortune-500/ |access-date=August 2, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140806142752/http://fortune.com/2014/06/02/first-fortune-500/ |archive-date=August 6, 2014 |url-status=live }}</ref> The magazine is also known for its annual ''Fortune Investor's Guide''.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.thebalancesmb.com/best-business-magazines-4176680|title=The 8 Best Business Magazines of 2020|last=Delbridge|first=Emily|website=The Balance Small Business|publisher=Dotdash|location=New York City|at=Best for Investors: Fortune |access-date=February 8, 2020}}</ref>

==History==
''Fortune'' was founded by ''[[Time (magazine)|Time]]'' magazine co-founder Henry Luce in 1929, who declared it as "the Ideal Super-Class Magazine", a "distinguished and de luxe" publication "vividly portraying, interpreting and recording the Industrial Civilization".<ref>Fortune prospectus. By Henry Luce. ''Fortune'', September 1929, Volume One, Number Zero.</ref> [[Briton Hadden]], Luce's business partner, was not enthusiastic about the idea – which Luce originally thought to title ''Power'' – but Luce went forward with it after Hadden's sudden death on February 27, 1929.<ref>Henry Luce & His Time by Joseph Epstein, ''[[Commentary (magazine)|Commentary]]'', Vol. 44, No. 5, November 1967.</ref>

In late October 1929, the [[Wall Street Crash of 1929]] occurred, marking the onset of the [[Great Depression]]. In a memo to the [[Time Inc.]] board in November 1929, Luce wrote: "We will not be over-optimistic. We will recognize that this business slump may last as long as an entire year."<ref name=works>{{cite news |title=How the World Really Works |author=Okrent, Daniel |author-link=Daniel Okrent |work=Fortune |url=http://archive.fortune.com/magazines/fortune/fortune_archive/2005/09/19/8272901/index.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140808034103/http://archive.fortune.com/magazines/fortune/fortune_archive/2005/09/19/8272901/index.htm |archive-date=August 8, 2014 |url-status=live }}</ref> The publication made its official debut in February 1930. Its editor was Luce, managing editor Parker Lloyd-Smith, and art director [[Thomas Maitland Cleland]].<ref>"Current Magazines". ''The New York Times''. February 2, 1930.</ref>
Single copies of the first issue cost US$1 ({{Inflation|US|1|1930|fmt=eq}}).<ref name=works /> An urban legend says that Cleland mocked up the cover of the first issue with the $1 price because no one had yet decided how much to charge; the magazine was printed before anyone realized it, and when people saw it for sale, they thought that the magazine must really have worthwhile content. In fact, there were 30,000 subscribers who had already signed up to receive that initial 184-page issue. By 1937, the number of subscribers had grown to 460,000, and the magazine had turned half million dollars in annual profit.<ref>{{cite news |title=Fortune |first=Laura |last=Massey |newspaper=Peter Harrington London |url=http://www.peterharrington.co.uk/blog/fortune/ |access-date=August 10, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140812205608/http://www.peterharrington.co.uk/blog/fortune/ |archive-date=August 12, 2014 |url-status=live }}</ref>

At a time when business publications were little more than numbers and statistics printed in black and white, ''Fortune'' was an oversized 11" × 14", using creamy heavy paper, and art on a cover printed by a special process.<ref name=uva>[http://xroads.virginia.edu/~1930s/Print/fortune/background.html Background] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170729045717/http://xroads.virginia.edu/~1930s/print/fortune/background.html }}.</ref> ''Fortune'' was also noted for its photography, featuring the work of [[Margaret Bourke-White]], [[Ansel Adams]], and others. [[Walker Evans]] served as its photography editor from 1945 to 1965.

During the Great Depression, the magazine developed a reputation for its [[social conscience]], for [[Walker Evans]] and [[Margaret Bourke-White]]'s color photographs, and for a team of writers including [[James Agee]], [[Archibald MacLeish]], [[John Kenneth Galbraith]], and [[Alfred Kazin]], hired specifically for their writing abilities. The magazine became an important leg of Luce's media empire;{{Citation needed}} after the successful launch of ''[[Time (magazine)|Time]]'' in 1923 and ''Fortune'' in 1930, Luce went on to launch ''[[Life (magazine)|Life]]'' in 1936 and ''[[Sports Illustrated]]'' in 1954.

From its launch in 1930 to 1978, ''Fortune'' was published monthly. In January 1978, it began publishing biweekly. In October 2009, citing declining [[advertising]] revenue and [[newspaper circulation|circulation]], ''Fortune'' began publishing every three weeks.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/10/23/fortune-magazine-will-drop-from-25-to-18-issues-a-year/ |title= Fortune Magazine Will Drop From 25 to 18 Issues a Year |author= Pérez-Peña, Richard |author-link= Richard Pérez-Peña |work=The New York Times |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110324113155/http://mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/10/23/fortune-magazine-will-drop-from-25-to-18-issues-a-year/ |archive-date= March 24, 2011 |url-status= live }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/10/23/fortune-magazine-will-drop-from-25-to-18-issues-a-year/ |title=Fortune Media Kit |work=The New York Times |author=Pérez-Peña, Richard |author-link=Richard Pérez-Peña |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110324113155/http://mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/10/23/fortune-magazine-will-drop-from-25-to-18-issues-a-year/ |archive-date=March 24, 2011 |url-status=live }}</ref> As of 2018, ''Fortune'' is published 14 times a year.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://subscription.fortune.com/storefront/subscribe-to-fortune/site/fo-bundletest2trm0118-tpl.html?link=1022055&fpa_oc=FO+0218+AA+Test+OWN|title=Fortune Magazine Subscription|website=subscription.fortune.com|access-date=February 6, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180207182902/https://subscription.fortune.com/storefront/subscribe-to-fortune/site/fo-bundletest2trm0118-tpl.html?link=1022055&fpa_oc=FO+0218+AA+Test+OWN|archive-date=February 7, 2018|url-status=live}}</ref>
