The correct answer is: a) Creation of a Sikh-majority state within India.<\/p>\n
The Punjabi Suba movement was a political movement in the Indian state of Punjab that sought to create a Punjabi-speaking state. The movement began in the early 20th century and gained momentum in the 1950s and 1960s. In 1966, the Indian government created the state of Punjab, which was largely based on the Punjabi-speaking areas of the state.<\/p>\n
The Punjabi Suba movement was motivated by a number of factors, including the desire to create a state where Punjabi could be the official language, the desire to protect the Punjabi culture and identity, and the desire to improve the economic conditions of the Punjabi people.<\/p>\n
