The reviews of this book identify Sikh immigration as being part of the Indo-Canadian migration. This should help resolve any WP:OR concerns about using books about the "Sikhs" in articles about "Indo-Canadians." Hopefully this will clear up any notability debates.
Doris R. Jacobsh stated in her review: "Nayar steers clear of the weaknesses inherent in generalizations about the wider Indo-Canadian community by focusing on the issues specific to the Sikh community in Canada,[...]" (first page of the PDF document, circa p. 119) - This means the Sikh community is a part of the Indo-Canadian community.
The Dusenbery review also makes it clear that the book is talking about Punjabis. p. 211 of Dusenbery states that the interview subjects were "elderly Punjabis" and "middle-aged Punjabis" as well as the youngest generation. p. 212 mentions how the book discusses the "Punjabi bubble" and "izzat" and it also quotes from the book: (p. 212 of Dusenbery) "There is thus a tension between her methodological focus on "traditional Punjabi-Sikh perspectives, beliefs, and practices" (p. 20, emphasis added)[...]" - If the book is talking about Punjabi Sikhs it must be talking about Indo-Canadians!
Basran's review (p. 151) states "The authors implicitly recognize how discussions around the broad labels of Indo-Canadian, South Asian, or East Indian tend to gloss over the cultural, historical, and structural specificities affecting these Sikhs."
