Punjabi Sikhs

Punjabi Sikhs are an ethnoreligious group of Punjabis who adhere to Sikhism. The global Sikh population is primarily composed of Punjabis. Punjabi Sikhs primarily inhabit and form the largest religious community in the Indian state of Punjab, the only Sikh-majority administrative division in the world. Punjabi Sikhs make up 57.69% of the state’s population. Apart from Indian Punjab, Punjabi Sikhs are found in large numbers across the Indian states of Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Delhi, Chandigarh, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra. Large numbers are also found in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Britain, and Malaysia due to various immigration waves over the centuries.
