india is a country. punjab is a state in india. people who live in punjab are called punjabi. actually if you go in punjab's history, you will find almost everything related to sikhs. punjab is a state which has more number of sikhs in it. so sometimes sikhs call them that they are punjabi. but sikhs live in many parts of the world. its not important that sikh has to be punjabi. there are many other sikhs who have never been to punjab. hope you are helped😊

Yup as dropsleaves said, that pretty much covers it all.. but ask away if u have any further questions! 😊

Being Punjabi can mean ur from Punjab, or that u have Punjabi culture.. and being a Sikh means u follow the religion of Sikhism.

not rly.. 😳 i m a hindu n i m punjabi!!

many ppl think that u HAVE to be sikh to be a punjabi..like even one of my punjabi friends.. she just cudnt get it..
when she found out that i m punjabi..she asked me if i was sikh, i told her i was hindu...n shes like but ur punjabi....i m like yea! and then shes like so u must be half sikh!!! 😆 😆

i think because there are sooo many sikh ppl in punjab, ppl assume that only they are punjabi..but thats not true!

to answer ur question, sikh ppl r ppl who follow sikhism. punjabi ppl could be of any religion..hindu, islam...i don't think they are christian punjabis tho lolz butppl who live in punjab..have Punjabi culture/background r punjabi :D
