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, often facing discrimination while making notable advancements in various fields such as medicine, law enforcement, business, and agriculture. The resolution 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 acknowledgment of the Sikh community's vital role in Texas, particularly in social and humanitarian efforts, the resolution designates April 14 as Sikh Day. This date coincides with the Sikh holiday of Vaisakhi, which celebrates the spring harvest and the founding of the Khalsa order by Guru Gobind Singh in 1699. The resolution emphasizes the importance of recognizing the Sikh community as an integral part of Texas's diverse cultural landscape and ensures that this designation will remain in effect for ten years.
