On October 16, 2004 The Times of India reported, "They don’t have to wear helmets to ride motorcycles, the military uniform has been altered to accommodate the five Ks, they have 200 gurdwaras for spiritual solace, the biggest Baisakhi celebrations are organised in a city here. Surprised you may be, because we are not talking about Jalandhar, Amristar or Ludhiana. This is sadda England. While showcasing multiculturalism, Britain has put Sikhs on the mantelpiece. There are about four lakh of them, the single biggest element in Britain’s Indian population. Here Gurinder Chaddha is a blockbuster director, Tavlin Singh is on top of the pop, Ruben Singh with his million pounds leaves many green with envy, Darshan Bhuller is the favourite hoofer."
