The Khalsa was born as a sovereign force in world affairs. We carry that legacy forward.
While advocacy organizations respond to today’s crises, Harvard Sikh Center asks a different question: What should the Panth’s strategic position be — not just for this case, but for the next century?
We produce the research and frameworks that inform how Sikh institutions engage with power.
Our work spans diaspora advocacy, international religious freedom, transnational repression, and the geopolitics of South Asia.
We don’t replace the lawyers and advocates on the front lines — we provide them with intellectual foundations and long-term strategic vision.
