Question

Why was there a demand for a punjabi speaking state?

Answer 1

The Government of India was wary of carving out a separate Punjabi language state, because it effectively meant dividing the state along religious lines: Sikhs would form a 60% majority in the resulting Punjabi state. The case for creating a Punjabi Suba was presented to the States Reorganisation Commission.
