Sikhism

While Hinduism accounts for about 80% of India's population, and Islam another 13%, other native religions include Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism.
About 75% of the world's Sikhs live in the state of Punjab, where they make up about 60% of the population. Over the last century, Sikh migration has led to the development of a number of significant Sikh communities throughout the rest of the world, and especially areas of Ontario and British Columbia in Canada.
