Best Answer

Most of the Sikhs are from the Punjab region of India. Sikhism as a religion don't have any particular country but they are mostly in Punjab region of India. Due to Immigration Sikhs are located in every continent of the world and so they are worldwide. The immigration of Sikhs goes back to the period when Britisher ruled India. Sikhs made up huge portion of British India Army, they fought in world war one and two and so were posted in Europe and Africa. Once war was over, new places also interested Sikhs for more prospects and so many lived in Africa and Europe along with new wave of immigration to North America and Australasia.
