ABSTRACT
Harjant Gill, in the documentary film, Sent Away Boys, explores connections between Jat Sikh masculinity, success and international migration to the West. The film is part of a series on masculinity. Roots of Love and Mardistan precede this one. All three films examine Jat Sikh masculinity, but each is distinct in its focus on its particular dimension. Here, I review them with special attention to Sent Away Boys. I integrate scholarship that have reflected on this topic. Additionally, I relate my current research on the subject and my prior research on immigrant Sikh yellow cabbies in New York City.
