Sikhs opposed the plan to separate Hindus and Muslims primarily because it marginalized their own identity and aspirations in a newly divided India. They feared that the partition would reinforce communal divisions, leading to increased violence and discrimination against minorities like Sikhs. Additionally, Sikhs sought to maintain their status as a distinct community and felt that the partition would undermine their political representation and rights. Overall, they advocated for a united India where all communities could coexist rather than be segregated.
