As chairman of the Sikh Naujawan Sabha Pakistan, 24-year-old Sardar Ramesh Singh, feels confident that he has the support of the 5,000-odd community in Sindh province. HT Image However, because he is not a graduate, the enterprising young man cannot contest for elections. This rule has been in place prior to the 2002 general elections. What is ironic, says Sardar Ramesh Singh, is that there are only about four or five Sikhs in Sindh province who have the required qualifications and can stand for elections.

Almost all have lived in the city for at least two generations and apart from the issue coming under focus during the elections, education has never been a priority here. Our elders have stressed more on money and business, comments Singh. As a result, most Sikh boys here drop out of college and follow their parents into business.
