Sikh women’s internet sites: development, content, mission

Sikhs have had a significant presence on the Internet since the 1990s. For the most part, early web sites were clearly gendered, highlighting male-focused history, identity, and concerns, with some sites including a ‘women’s section’.

520 |a Sikhs have had a significant presence on the Internet since the 1990s. For the most part, early web sites were clearly gendered, highlighting male-focused history, identity, and concerns, with some sites including a ‘women’s section’. Sikh women’s specific sites were few. The scenario has changed considerably with a number of new sites developed by and for women. “Kaur Life”, “Kaurista”, the “Kaur Project”, and the “Sikh Feminist Research Institute” reflect the needs, practices, and concerns of a new generation of engaged, reflective, and activist Sikh women, here identified as “i-Kaurs”. I explore the development of Sikh women’s sites, examining changes in content, presentation, and mission between the earlier and later online milieu. To what extent do Sikh women’s sites offer opportunities to network, to provide safe spaces for women to exchange ideas and commentary? How do these online spaces intersect with offline Sikh religious environments? To what extent do these sites engage and reflect wider women’s concerns?
