Punjab is a state of India in the north western part of the country, near the border with Pakistan. Sikhism was founded in the Punjab , and the majority of Punjabis are Sikhs. Punjab is a primarily agricultural region in which sugarcane and corn are both extensively cultivated. Cattle and yaks are among the main agricultural animals. Unlike many states in India, Punjab is still relatively untouched by industrial and urban development, and a substantial wild tiger population is still known to exist.
