Clarifications:

- There were two main divisions of Punjab—in 1947 and then in 1966, which solidified the current boundaries. However, parts of Himachal Pradesh were removed from the state of Punjab as early as 1957. In 1966, the rest of what is now Himachal Pradesh, as well as the entirety of Haryana, were separated from Punjab. 

- Punjab is one of the only, not the only, states in India that is majority non-Hindu. It is the only Sikh majority state. However, the states of Meghalaya, Nagaland and Mizoram in the far east are majority Christian. In addition, though classified as Union Territories rather than States, the islands of Lakshadweep in the south and Jammu and Kashmir in the north are majority Muslim. Ladakh in the north is mostly Buddhist and Muslim.
