AB - Caste prejudice and discrimination in the Indian context have persisted despite of the many reform movements that have spoken out against its discriminatory element. Moreover, the discriminations based on caste have been observed in the context of Indian diaspora. This study amis at exploring the processes of a distinct socio-religious identity among the overseas dalit Sikhs called ‘Ravidassia’ diaspora, especially with references to Ravidassia in Canada and UK. In fact, many of Ravidassia diaspora have experienced caste-based discriminations from the high caste Sikhs, namely Jat sikhs who have dominated the material and religious worlds of sikh society for long time in India. 2009 Vienna killings, in which the most important Sant (religious leader) of Ravidassia was killed, has acted as a catalyst of current tensions between mainstream Sikh community and Ravidassia group revolving around replacing of the ‘Guru Granthi Sahib’ with ‘the Amritbani Guru Ravidass’ in the Ravidassia places of worship both in India and abroad. It is reasonable to assume that a distinct identity formation of overseas Ravidassia communities is an ongoing process. It is more likely that Ravidassia diasporas have socio-cultural autonomy from mainstream Sikhism with the passage of time.
