Outside India 90%+
Inside India, Punjab during 80s and 90s - above 70%+
Outside Punjab openly 30%+, other don't know.
Last census, Sikh population was 1.9%
in 2010 I won't be surprised seeing between 1.7 -1.8%

That's absurd!! The Khalistani party of Simranjit Singh maan didn't even won a single seat in recent election in Punjab.
Tara S Hayer's group, Gurbax Malhi and Ujjal Singh Dosanjh the premier in Canada are not Khalistanis.
In England, Hindus and Sikhs are united against Islamic conversions.
In USA, Gurdwaras get Hindus students seeking some good back home type desi food.
Even in Punjab the Akali Party (Badal group) is way way liberal and not in any way connected with Khalistanis.
Some people when angry (with these DSS type babas) may raise slogans like Khalistan zindabad, etc but it is nothing more than venting an anger.
Vast majority of educated Sikhs themselves know that idea of Khalistan is hogwash... It is only juvenile < 25 years old semi-literate Sikhs who think of Khalistan as a solution to political problems of Sikhs in India.
I remind all Sikhs who spoke of Khalistan at Gurdwara that if they want a Khlistan in Indian territory then what are they doing here in USA? Will they go back and live there? Even in local Pittsburgh (USA) gurdwara less than 5% of Sikhs would qualify as extremists want to break India at all costs. Most Sikhs are passionate Indian Patriots like JJ Singh and our PM.
