An estimated 20 million people are followers of Sikhism, which then makes it the fifth largest organized religion in the world just after Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism and Sikhism. A popular place where this religion is practiced is in South Asia. Sikhs are usually identified by the Turban (which Sikhs call a Dastaar or Pagri), distinctive headgear which could be worn by both men and women. Sikhs arrived in North America, South Asia and in 5th June 1897 and played a pivotal role in the opening of the West and construction of the Panama Canal.
