Sikh Population In Punjab Is 57 % Which Was 60% In 2001 Census.

[DTF]

Haanji Hrman Paji ehda ke 2011 di figure (1.7%) nu 2001 naal divide kareyo Ji (1.9%)

2011 percentage of Indian population (1.7%) = 89.47% of 2001 percentage (1.9%) figure.

Thus the percentage decline of Sikhs as a proportion of the Indian population between 2001 to 2011 exceeds 10%.

Jacfsing2 you will find the vast majority of homeless people in Punjab are in fact non-Sikhs.

Given that the figures are four years old the Sikh percentage can possibly be estimated at 56% currently in 2015.

A drop of 1% per year in the next 6 years will leave us as minority by the 2021 census if we don't urgently prioritise dealing with the threats of female infanticide, drugs, biraderi apartheid, illiteracy, poverty, fertility, alcohol, cancer etc.

There is a few factors that you may have forgot, such as the mass migration of Sikh people to wherever? Whether that's still in India or abroad to somewhere where they can be successful.

Does that mean we don't need a Sikh homeland, because we can be successful wherever we emigrate to? If everyone keeps emigrating the powers that be will soon begin to ask, "Who exactly will populate this Sikh homeland that you people are clamouring to obtain?" But I suspect that was the plan all along. Make life difficult for Sikhs in Panjab so that they're compelled to seek fresh pastures, gradually whittling down our numbers making us a minority so that so we're easier to control.

@ MisterrSingh Ji

Bhai Sahib, I think the homeland debate is a dangerous distraction to the demographic reality in front of us.

But you're absolutely right that the powers that be fear the Truth of Sikhi and realise that Sikhi is a dangerous revolutionary Truth that will upset the apple cart of their corrupt terrorist regime. We need to work from the ground up.

If we are fully committed to the Panth as ordinary Sikhs and work unitedly there can be one hundred million plus Sikhs in India within our lifetime. That would represent the biggest casteless demographic within India. Such a demographic force would be pretty unstoppable from gaining momentum once it got to that level and could arguably turn all of present day India into an enlarged more modern version of Khalsa Raj as existed between 1801-1849.

As what do our opponents have but the lies of caste discrimination and oppression to support their program of corruption and terrorism, which sustains itself via divide and rule and falsely categorising 79% of Indians as Hindu.

The knockout blow they are waiting to deliver to our Panth is by some in our Panth declaring that sehajdhari Punjabi speakers are not Sikhs as that would consequently leave the Khalsa Panth (as 5% or so of Sikhs) as a 2% odd minority within Punjab without any political relevance.

Here is a suggestion

Create a world Sikh organization group. Seek donations from Sikhs all over the world. Use the funds to help those in Punjab. The help can be in the form of welfare for poor families, some kind of credit for having a child, hospitals, universities, technical colleges, buy up land and create corporate farming....etc, etc. Make Punjab a great place to live. That way they will stay.

If each and every Sikh around the world donated USD 50 bucks a month, that would be a very huge amount.

[MisterrSingh]

@DTF - On some occasions certain elements of our own are doing all the sabotage that could ever hurt us in the type of situations you've described, whilst the enemy looks on satisfied wondering how it could ever be so easy.

[DTF]

Quantavius bro we already have such an organisation in place - the SGPC.

The problem is it is riddled by corruption so we have to peacefully seize back control or set-up a parallel organisation which is fully transparent and accountable for every penny of funding. My sincere conviction is that if HS Phulka Ji and the AAP can sweep Badal out of power in the Punjab elections in 2017 we can reclaim the SGPC and increase Sikh numbers massively simply on account of Sikhi being the Truth.

Recognising all those that attend Gurdwara as fellow Sikhs would at a stroke push Sikh numbers in Punjab to above 90%. The more people currently defined by our opponents as non-Sikhs recognise that they are members of the Sikh Panth the greater their adherence to Gurmat will become in time.

No other religion defines those that attend for example, Church services, Mosque gatherings or Mandir puja sessions as non-Christians, non-Muslims or non-Hindu's so we have to ask why it is only us Sikhs as a 1.7% minority in India who since 1950 have started insisting upon labelling certain Gurdwara Sangat as non-Sikhs and then scratching our heads as to why our numbers are declining while everybody else seeks to boost the size of their own populations.

Muslim numbers have grown in Punjab by 40% during 2001-2011. Christian numbers grew 20% in Punjab during the same period. And yet we have corrupt bhekhi's that find the time for conferences supporting Charitropakhiyan stories at expensive resort hotels but cannot give a damn about the threats faced by the primarily self-inflicted silent Genocide of the Panth in the form of female infanticide, drugs, biraderi apartheid, illiteracy, cancer, poverty, alcohol etc.

Punjab used to include a lot more than today.

Punjab used to include a lot more than today.

The problem is brother that:

Sikhs are now less than 0.01% of the Pakistani Punjab population.

Sikhs are now 3% of the Delhi population.

Sikhs are now 4% of the Haryana population.

Sikhs are now 1% of the Himachal population.

Numerically in 2011 we Sikhs consituted 11% or so of the historic united Punjab populations.

Whereas before the Pakistani Genocide of Sikhs in 1947 we constituted 13% of the old historic Punjab population.

Bear in mind now that there are a greater percentage of Sikhs in English-speaking Canada than there in India.

So we need to work hard on initially stabilising and then increasing Sikh numbers globally by any means necassary.

Rather than continually look for ways exclude people from the Sikh Panth and then wondering why we are oppressed.

[SikhKosh]

We should not only look at the decline of Sikh population [which is not only effected by emigration but also conversion to other religions notably Christianity and Islam to a smaller extent] but also the proportional growth of other religions. It is in that regard that we have to look at the unprecedented Muslim growth which will definitely cause problems in the future.

Tarn Taran still remains our stronghold with over 93% Sikhs. While Jalandhar seems to be the district with the least Sikhs at just 32%.

[StarStriker]

Its sad that our population seems to be not growing as much back home in panjab. A complete contrast to pre-partition panjab, where frm 1920s-1940's, we had the highest number of converts, highest birth rate and therefore highest growing population than muslims, hindus n others. But since then, we have to remember we have had 2 massive genocides, of 300k killed by panjabi muslims and 250k sikhs killed frm 1977-95. I remember hearing/reading a statement frm a hindu politican, i believe it was swami subramanian, who was a good friend of sant jarnail singhs. He stated, had sant ji been around 2day doin parchar like they did, the WHOLE of e.panjab and roughly 80% of haryana would be sikhs 2day.

Also 'sikh kosh', where did u get those stats of tarn taran n jalandhar frm? Could u post more of the percentages of sikhs in other panjab cities/towns etc.
