| | Sikhism is the main religion in the Punjab. | | | The ultimate place for a sikh pilgrim is Amritsar, where the Golden Temple is the main place of worship. | | | The sweets are bought and distributed amongst people (irrespective of caste, creed, faith or sex), to signify that all people are welcome at God's abode and as everyone eats the same food everyone is equal - no Sikh believes in any ritual or sacrifice to please GOD. |

| | South Asia: Punjab |
| | The creation of the state of Punjab in 1966 was designed to give Sikhs a state in India where their religion and language would have local dominance. | | | This position conflicted with Nehru’s and the Congress Party’s vision that India should be a secular state with no special favors or protection given to any particular religion (see Politics). | | | However, it is important to note that the creation of this new Punjab state went against Jawaharlal Nehru’s vision of a secular India. |

| | Although Sikhs from Punjab generally speak the indigenous Punjabi as their native language, most apparently would be able to communicate with locals outside of Punjab. | | | "And that seems to be—now I don't have any evidence for this—but it seems to be an understanding that if you come back to Punjab in a reasonable [time-] frame and accept the Punjab and Indian governments, then you can live something like a normal life," he added (Wallace 24 Feb 2003). | | | 2) Do Sikhs from Punjab need to register when they relocate to other parts of India? |
