The resolution acknowledges the significant contributions of the Sikh community to the State of New Jersey, highlighting their advocacy for social justice and support for diverse communities. It emphasizes the core tenets of Sikhism, including the belief in equality, community service, and the promotion of women's leadership. The resolution also notes the historical context of Sikh immigration to the United States and the discrimination faced by Sikhs throughout history, including notable incidents of violence and harassment.

Additionally, the resolution commemorates the tragic Sikh Massacre of 1984, during which approximately 3,000 Sikhs were killed in coordinated attacks in India. It recognizes this event as a genocide and ethnic cleansing aimed at eradicating Sikh followers and their cultural institutions. The resolution calls for remembrance of the lives lost and the suffering endured by the Sikh community, while also urging acknowledgment of the ongoing injustices faced by those affected by the massacre. Copies of the resolution will be sent to federal representatives to raise awareness of these issues.
