At a time when a gurdwara in the US has been targeted by extremists and minority Hindus in Pakistan face harassment, a gurdwara in Tehran, where the Prime Minister is visiting from August 28, stands tall, with the community receiving strong support from local authorities.Next week, while PM Manmohan Singh is busy with the 16th Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) summit, his wife Gursharan Kaur will visit the Sikh shrine established in 1941 in downtown Tehran.
It is not certain if Singh will pay obeisance there though the Sikh community is hopeful.
The Prime Minister Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee visits a Gurudwara in Tehran in 2001 during his visit to Iran.
External affairs minister S.M. Krishna had visited the gurdwara in 2010 and ex-PM Atal Behari Vajpayee had visited it in 2001.
While the West often targets Iran for religious intolerance, the Sikhs have had a different experience in the country.
The community has never faced any problem from the Iranian government or locals. Currently, 60 Sikh families reside in Tehran and the city of Zahedan.
