Answer: Sikhs mostly live in Punjab because Sikhism first emerged in Punjab around 1500 BC and that is their homeland. They also live over the world, too. Probably more of Canada and America.

Answer:

The Punjab region of the Indian subcontinent has been the historic homeland of the Sikhs, having even been ruled by the Sikhs for significant parts of the 18th and 19th centuries. Today, the Punjab state in northwest India has a majority Sikh population, and sizeable communities of Sikhs exist around the world.
