Sikhs have faced some difficulties in Wales: in 2000, a popular Sikh was murdered in a racially motivated attack in
Port Talbot. The issue of Sikhism in Wales again came to wider attention in 2008 when the only Sikh pupil at
Aberdare Girls' School was banned from school for refusing to remove her
kara though the
High Court eventually ruled that the school had been wrong to exclude her. The first purpose-built Sikh
gurdwara was opened in
Cardiff in 1989. ==Notable Welsh Sikhs==
