- Punjab is the only state in India where the Sikh community is in majority. According to the 2011 census data, the total population of Punjab is 2.77 crore with 60% Sikhs and 35% Hindus residing in the state. Rural population accounts for 62.5% of the total population while the urban population constitutes 37.5% of the total population. Due to it being a Sikh majority state, Punjab witnessed the Khalistani movement for a separate Sikh nation during the 1980s which was successfully curbed by the Indian government.
