The
population of Indian Punjab is divided into two major religious groups,
the Sikhs and Hindus.Punjabis make around 2.5% of the population of
India. It is further sub-divided into various tribal groups, social
groups (caste) and economic groups. Major sub-groups in India include
the Aroras, Khatris, Kalals/Ahluwalias, Bania, Saini Sikhs, Saini
Hindus, Brahmin, Chamar, Chhimba, Chura, Jatts, Kamboj, Labanas, Lohar,
Mahtam, Mazhabi, Nais, Rajput, Ramgarhia, Ramdasia, Soods and Tarkhans
etc. All these subgroups are hardworking and well educated and living
with unity, peace and harmony with each other.
Like the Punjabi
Muslim society, these various castes are associated with particular
occupations or crafts. Communities such as the Jatt and Rajput from a
Zamindar background are essentially farmers along with Kamboj Sikh and
Saini Sikhs, while the Arora, Bania, Bhatia are associated to trade.
Other groups are associated with particular crafts, include Lohar who
were historically ironsmiths, while Tarkhans were carpenters and the Nai
were barbers.
Indian Punjab is also home to small groups of Muslims
and Christian. Most of the East Punjab's Muslims (in today's states of
Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Delhi and Chandigarh) left for West
Punjab in 1947. However, a small community still exists today, mainly in
Malerkotla which was spared during partition, the only Muslim princely
state among the seven that formed the erstwhile Patiala and East Punjab
States Union (PEPSU). The other six (mostly Sikh) states were: Patiala,
Nabha, Jind, Faridkot, Kapurthala and Kalsia.
The Punjab region
within India maintains a strong influence on the perceived culture of
India towards the rest of the world. Numerous Bollywood film productions
use the Punjabi language in their songs and dialogue as well as
traditional dances such as bhangra. Bollywood has been dominated by
Punjabi artists including Raj Kapoor, Dev Anand, Vinod Khanna,
Dharmendra, Shammi Kapoor, Rishi Kapoor, Lara Dutta, Akshay Kumar and
Kareena Kapoor. Prime Ministers of India including Gulzarilal Nanda and
Inder Kumar Gujral in the past, and Dr. Manmohan Singh at present, are
Punjabis, as are numerous players in the Indian cricket team both past
and present including Bishen Singh Bedi, Kapil Dev, Mohinder Amarnath,
Navjot Sidhu, Harbhajan Singh, Yuvraj Singh and Yograj Singh.
