<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->They are not and never been majority. Sikhs are 46% in Punjab and it is reducing very fast because of lack of conversion , low birth rate, huge difference between sex ratio.
I am waiting for 2010 census data. We will have better number. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
This seems incorrect, according to the 2001 census they were 59.9%.
But it is true that Sikhs were never a majority on the Indian side of the Panjab until the creation of a linguistic Panjabi state, it was only in 1966 that Haryana was separate from Panjab.
