Question

Beginning in the 19th century, Sikhism spread far beyond its original homeland in the Punjab. Because India was a colony of Great Britain during that time, many Sikhs immigrated to English-speaking countries like Britain, the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. But smaller numbers of Sikhs also spread to eastern Africa and Southeast Asia. Today, there are now well over one million Sikhs living outside of India. Most are in the United States and the United Kingdom.

Based on the passage, where has Sikhism spread most since the nineteenth century?

Australia
Southeast Asia
eastern African
English-speaking countries
