The resolution recognizes the significant contributions of the Sikh community to the state of Texas over the past century. It highlights the history of Sikh immigrants who arrived in the early 1900s, their perseverance in the face of discrimination, and their notable achievements in various fields such as medicine, law enforcement, business, and agriculture. The resolution also honors prominent Sikh figures, including civic leader Dr. Amarjit Singh Marwah and U.S. Representative Dalip Singh Saund, as well as the legacy of Harris County Deputy Sheriff Sandeep Dhaliwal, who served with traditional Sikh articles until his tragic death in 2019.

In recognition of the Sikh community's integral role in Texas's cultural diversity, the resolution designates April 14 as Sikh Day. This date coincides with the Sikh holiday of Vaisakhi, which commemorates the beginning of the spring harvest and holds religious significance for Sikhs. The resolution emphasizes the community's contributions to social and humanitarian efforts, particularly their support during disasters like Hurricane Harvey, and aims to celebrate and honor the vibrant Sikh culture within the state. The designation will remain in effect until the 10th anniversary of the resolution's passage.
