ABSTRACT Sikh migration to Canada has been theoretically framed and structured largely through colonial, imperial and diasporic historicized trajectories, articulating tremendous engagement in the Canadian economy. The Great War foregrounds Sikh engagement in the military history of Canada and this article examines the ‘martial race’ ideological construction of Sikhs, the fortuitous sighting of the victory medal of Buckam Singh in a pawn shop in London; and how this unintended discovery warrants engendering of critical academic dialogues. Information on Buckam Singh is predominantly inscribed within the cyberspace, invigorating discussions of relationalities, identity-construction, military and digital diaspora modalities and spatio-temporality through e-diaspora.

电子散居，大战和锡克教徒向加拿大的军事移民：纪念巴肯·辛格

摘要从理论上来说，锡克教徒向加拿大的迁移基本上是通过殖民，帝国和流散的历史轨迹来进行框架和结构的，表明了加拿大经济的巨大参与。伟大的战争使锡克教徒参与了加拿大的军事历史，本文考察了锡克教徒的“军备竞赛”意识形态，这是在伦敦的一家典当行偶然看到巴卡姆·辛格的胜利勋章。以及这一意外发现如何确保进行重要的学术对话。有关Buckam Singh的信息主要记录在网络空间中，从而促进了有关关系，身份构造，军事和数字散居模式以及时空通过电子散布的讨论。
