Sikhism in Panama took its roots when the Panama Canal was started in 1890.[1] Construction of the rail-road link between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans began in 1850. With the boom of labour opportunities, immigrants saw Panama as a place of fortune. Sikhs came first as construction workers for the transcontinental rail road link. During 1864, among the population of New Grenada, which contained Panama City, out of 2.7 million people, 160,000 were Sikh. A large number of Sikhs settled there after the project.[2]
