@nihang is a good example of how hagiographical accounts are used to over compensate.
Punjab is not the largest contributor of troops.

Successive reports have indicated that Punjabi youth have poor physical standards are compared to yesteryears.
Fertility standards are low.
Per se, folks like @nihang should take credit for Sikh regiments.
Also, remember that Sikh regiments are NOT open
To ALL Sikhs.
No, only for Jatt Sikhs.
Sikh Light regiments were raised specifically because Jatt Sikhs didn't want to be in the same barracks as SC/Non-Jatt Sikhs.
While data is difficult to come by, many areas, specifically Garhwal, Kumaon, Jammu, Haryana, Himachal and western UP, also have disproportionately higher number of troops.
This ceaseless panegyric generating exercise which folks like @nihang seem to indulge in, will get a rude awakening when Jatt Sikh TFR comes home to roost.
It's a testimony to how cheaply @nihang sells the genuine patriotism of Punjab, where it exists. Col Santosh Babu, MVC's family doesn't get the divine right to hold Delhi at ransom.
But, folks like @nihang, who are filled with Anti Hindu hatred, will say these things precisely.
You can follow @Ateendriyo.
