The British Sikh Report (Punjabi: ਬ੍ਰਿਟਿਸ਼ ਸਿੱਖ ਰਿਪੋਰਟ) also known as the BSR, is an annual report launched in Parliament every year about Sikhs in the United Kingdom.
History
The BSR was founded by Jasvir Singh OBE in 2012 [1] and is created annually by a team of research analysts, lawyers, academics, social workers, senior consultants and managers who work on the BSR on a voluntary basis. The Editor of the report is Jagdev Singh Virdee MBE who is a renowned British statistician. [2] The report takes approximately 500 man hours and costs £30,000 to create every year. [3]
The report has been quoted in the British Parliament [4], referred to in pieces of research and white papers relating to Sikhs or faith in general, and used by public bodies, the corporate sector and third sector groups. [5]
