The Partition of India in 1947 saw the division of the former British Raj into the modern states of India and Pakistan. India would have a majority Hindu population while in Pakistan the majority would be Muslim. One of the largest religious minorities affected by the chaos of the Partition were the Sikhs, largely living in the Punjab region which was split between Pakistan in the East and India in the West. So why didn't the Sikhs get an independent state where they could make a religious majority? Why didn't Sikhistan or Khalistan become a reality in 1947?
