There hasn’t been a recent census so no, it’s most likely from 2011.

See, the thing is in which ever region you go locals will say "Our Punjabi dialect is correct. Our Grammar too is correct." However, Doaba only use one word for objects or meaning i.e. Door is darwajja. Now, Malwai may be backwards but door is darwajja, Booha or gate. Wind is hwa or poan. Whereas Doaba will only use hwa. Majja is similar to Malwai. Although Doaba is NOT to be underestimated (FWD in technology, economic and Hi Tech) it's not necessarily high in literature.

In Doaba majority of Dalits return themselves as hindus. Doaba has a very high Dalit population.

I've never heard that. Ever.

Most likely because most of the earlier emigrants from Panjab were from Doaba.

Overtime, some Panjabi words have been replaced with Hindi ones (Darwaza/Darwaja instead of Buha/Bar etc) especially in Doaba.
