Link to Sikh nationalism
Panjabiyat also has close links to
Sikh nationalism due to the religious significance of
Punjabi and
Gurmukhi script in
Sikhism .
[13] With the advent of the notion of
Devanagari script and
Hindi or
Sanskrit as a language associated with
Hindu nationalism and
Arya Samaj advancing the cause of
Devanagari in the late
19th century , the cause of
Gurmukhi was advanced by
Singh Sabha movement .
[14]
[15]
[16] This later culminated in
Punjabi Suba movement where
Sikhs who mostly identified
Punjabi as their mother tongue, whilst
Hindus identifying with
Hindi in the census, leading to
trifurcation of state on a linguistic basis in 1966 and the formation of a Sikh majority, Punjabi speaking state in India.
[17] During the
Khalistan movement ,
Kharkus were known to enforce Punjabi language,
Gurmukhi script and traditional
Punjabi cultural dress in Punjab.
[18]
SGPC in its 1946 Sikh State resolution declared the
Punjab region as the natural homeland of the Sikhs.
[19]
[20]
Anandpur Sahib Resolution also links
Sikhism to
Punjab as a
Sikh homeland .
