UNITED SIKHS is a civil and human rights, humanitarian aid non profit organization and disaster relief non-governmental organization which is also a United Nations affiliated group. The concept of UNITED SIKHS was conceived in 1999 by three Sikh Americans.[1] It is international in scope and aims to help people regardless of color, race, gender, nationality or creed.
UNITED SIKHS led a campaign to have U.S. Census Bureau recognize Sikhs as a separate ethnicity, which was successful on January 6, 2020. As a result, Sikhs are regarded as different from Asian Indian category.[2][3][4][5]
