Dalits in Punjab are heavily influenced by Sikhism

Unlike their counterparts elsewhere, Dalits in Punjab are more prosperous, and many have climbed up the social ladder too, appropriating Jat Sikh surnames. Traditionally, they have never voted en masse for a single party, due to internal divisions. Even BSP founder Kanshi Ram, a Punjabi himself, was unable to make big gains as the party’s anti-Manuwadi and purity-pollution ideology did not resonate in the state heavily influenced by Sikhism, envisaged as a casteless religion, and Arya Samaj. So can the Congress’s gamble of Dalit CM
pay off? As Congress banks on Channi, the Dalit factor has many layers.
Despite Punjab having the highest concentration of Dalits in the country of any state and despite as many as 34 reserved seats out of a total 117 in the state (more than 30%), Channi is the first CM in the state from the community.

(i) That’s why ‘The True Sikhs’ never consider “The Scheduled Castes And Scheduled Tribes As The Separate Groups” religiously and also because of the affect of Punjab, Punjabis and Punjabiat. Thus division is not recognised or followed in Punjab- Kejriwal did try to play caste card, discarding the religious spirit of Sikhs, but all in vain;
(ii) On the other hand the personalies like former ex-IG Kuwar Vijay Partap Singh is being respected by all including the true Sikhs, though he is candidate of APP from Amritsar North
(iii) former ex-IG Kuwar Vijay Partap Singh is candidate of APP from Amritsar North: “Amritsar: Kunwar Vijay Pratap Singh, a former IPS officer who took the political plunge last year to "cleanse the system", says he is just a candidate in the election, but it is actually the people of Amritsar who are fighting the polls for him”.
