Punjabi Hindus are adherents of Hinduism who identify ethnically , linguistically , culturally , and genealogically as Punjabis and are natives of the Punjab region of the Indian subcontinent . Punjabi Hindus are the third-largest religious group of the Punjabi community, after the Punjabi Muslims and the Punjabi Sikhs . While Punjabi Hindus mostly inhabit the Indian state of Punjab , as well as Haryana , Himachal Pradesh , Delhi , and Chandigarh today, many have ancestry across the greater Punjab region, which was partitioned between India and Pakistan in 1947.
