Sikh Population?

[sranz]

122 million

You people are just making up figures from thin air. There's 30 million of us max.

No bruvs. There's more real Sikhs today then there's been in the last 200 years. Our keshdari fathers and grandfathers, on a whole, drank more than the mona sikh youths today....took more drugs than the mona sikh youths today.....gambled more than the mona sikhs youth today....took marital fidelity less seriously than the mona sikh youths today......and partook in far more hindu rituals than the mona sikh youths today. This is the golden age of sikhi. Where the older generation, having spent 50-60 years practising a strange hybrid of sikhi and hinduism, have finally started learning, from the youth, what real sikhi is.

But anyway, 122 million . Be serious fellas, the population of the whole of Punjab (india) is only 25 million, and any fool can see how sikhs a small minority in the population density urban areas of Punjab. So thats like 15 million max in Punjab. You trying to tell me there's 10 Punjabs scattered around the place ?

We just had the Australian Census in August 2011, so hopefully the true figure of Sikh population can be determined as the 2006 Census only stated 26,000 Sikhs in Australia which didn't seem right, as the Sikh Council of Australia INC estimates around 100,000 Sikhs in Australia will report back on the results as soon as they are published.

sikh population is 1000.

heard in katha that a few chardikala abhiyaasi singhs asked maharaj guru gobind singh ji how many sikhs he had in the world, and maharaj said on vaisakhi there were only 5 that gave their head, today there are only 1000 willing to give their heads.

Unless you guys are talking about every type of Sikh

The census will never give an accurate account for the Sikh population as the world has a lot of illegal Sikh immigrants residing in the UK.

Yeah, there is no way there are more than 30 million of us.

I wish there were more than 100 million Sikhs in the world. But realistically there are only about 30 million Sikhs worldwide. SGPC or some other Sikh organizations can do a lot of increase Sikh population. The sikligar and banjara populations of India can be easily brought into the Khalsa fold. They are already believers in the Gurus. Only thing left is, we need to do effort to bring them into the brotherhood of the Khalsa. The Dalits can also be easily brought into the fold. Just wish our Sikh organisations would do some real effort in doing solid parchar.
