This chapter aims to study how Hindu nationalism has historically and presently tried to take root in East Punjab, a Sikh-majority state, and how these attempts have been met by Punjabis, most notably by Sikhs. After tracing the historical roots of Hindutva in colonial Punjab, it discusses the Hindu nationalist current strategy vis-à-vis Punjab and the Sikhs, trying to forcibly incorporate them, particularly through a rewriting of Sikh history that projects the Sikhs as the sword-arm of Hinduism. However, when met with resistance, it aggressively projects Sikhs as anti-nationals. Finally, the Sikh responses and anti-Hindutva activism in Punjab, particularly during the Indian farmers’ protest in 2020-2021, are addressed.
