Why the sikhs had no desire for a independent sikh state in the 1940s?

[Tea addict]

Sikhs were 3rd largest group in entire punjab, so no sikh majority in punjab.

They were also not a majority in post 1947 indian punjab(punjab+haryana+ himachal+ Chandigarh)..so no sikh state in that case too.

The only region they have considerable majority is majhi and some parts of malwa region...

So they would have been completely dependent upon either india or Pakistan for water, trade and would have ended up like kashmir or Hyderabad eventually... whereas they got the best of indian 5 year plans after independence when punjab was epicenter of green revolution.

True if you only count turban wearing Sikhs as the SGPC has now decreed in order to consolidate their power. However, a lot of people including myself count Punjabi Hindus amongst Sikhs as well..

From what I hear Indian Punjab is quickly turning into bhaiyaland.

True , many teachings Sikhism are followed by hindus of Punjab too seva and all..many hindus of Punjab are aryasamajis too...but still i won't count them as sikh.. i always do seva but that doesn't make me sikh.

The Hindus send sardars to die on loc while they try to out breed them in Punjab. The banniya is certainly a clever creature.

Anybody who respects the Sikh Gurus, goes to Gurdwaras counts as a Sikh in my book. They should get a vote in how they are run.

These lines - Hindu, Sikh are a recent invention after the British and didn't exist as much before that.

They don't send us as much as we aren't good at higher education and skilled jobs. That leaves farming and soldiering as the traditional occupations of Punjab on both sides.

You guys should have got the same deal as Kashmiris where outsiders aren't allowed to own land in Punjab.

Sardars have been chopping invaders form the west form centuries.. that's why they are hailed as top Indian Soldiers... Indians love Sardars...

Yep, a lot of that was implied in negotiations with India during partition but never came to fruit.

Don't be mad mutthuswami, here have a vada. Are those lines on your head Fair and Lovely?

You see this is exactly what I'm talking about. The Hindus use sweet words for simple Sardars in order to gain their loyalty and make them fight. It's pretty condescending really.

How generous and gracious of you to "promote" Hindu bhaiyas as "honorary sikhs" to inflate your numbers.

What a shame your bigotry do not allow you to "promote" rest of the Hindus for this "privilege".
