Punjabi Hindu : ウィキペディア英語版
Punjabi Hindus

Punjabi Hindus are a group of people that follow the Hindu religion and have their roots and origin in the Punjab region of the Indian Subcontinent. In India, most Punjabi Hindus are concentrated in the states of Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh and Delhi. There has also been a continuous migration of Punjabi Hindus to major world countries like the US, Canada, UK, Australia, New Zealand and Dubai.
Hinduism has been prevalent in Punjab since historical times before the arrival of Islam and birth of Sikhism in Punjab. Some of the influential Sikh figures such as Guru Nanak, Banda Singh Bahadur, Bhai Mati Das, all originated from Hindu families of Punjab. Thirteen of the fifteen Sikh bhagats who had their writings included in the SGGS were Hindu. Later many of Punjab's Hindus converted to Sikhism, initially a Hindu sect found by Guru Nanak Dev, whose family hailed from a Hindu Khatri family. In fact, Punjabi Hindus can trace their roots from the time of the Vedas. Many modern day cities in Indian Punjab and Pakistani Punjab are still named from that period like Lahore, Jalandhar, Chandigarh and so on. Examples of Punjabi Hindus include the former Prime ministers of India I.K. Gujral and Gulzari Lal Nanda and former Indian cricketer Kapil Dev and scientist Hargobind Khorana.
Punjabi Hindus have a unique culture which very closely resembles that of the Sikhs and also differs from theirs in many other ways. They usually have a very liberal lifestyle and are famous for their lavish wedding parties.
Indian Punjabi Hindus have been very dominant in business, the army, sports, and the cinema of Punjab and India.
== Vedic Punjab ==

The original Punjab region is now divided into several units: West Punjab (now in Pakistan), portions of eastern Afghanistan such as the Gandhara/Kandahar region, the Indian states of Punjab, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh and the Indian Union territory of Chandigarh. The regions of Azad Kashmir and Jammu have also been historically associated with the Punjab.
The Punjab is the 'Sapta Sindhu' region mentioned in the Rig Veda, the seven rivers are:
# Saraswati (thought to be the present day Ghaggar),
# Satadru/Shutadri (Sutlej),
# Vipasa (Beas),
# Asikani, Chandrabhaga (Chenab),
# Iravati (Ravi),
# Vitasta/Vet (Jhelum) and
# Sindhu (Indus).
The modern name of the Vipasa,'Beas' is thought to be a corruption of Veda Vyasa, the author of the Mahabharata.
Among the classic books that were wholly or partly composed in this region are the following.
* Rigveda
* Grammar of Sakatayana
* Ashtadhyayi of Pāṇini
* Nirukta of Yaska
* Charaka Samhita
* Mahabharata along with the Bhagavad Gita
* Brihatkatha of Gunadya
* The Bakhshali Manuscript
The world's oldest university Takshashila flourished here, even before the Buddha's birth.
The Brahmins of this region are called 'Saraswata' after the legendary Saraswati river region, once known for the ashramas of the rishis.
