There was no other option for the Sikhs, as there was no single district where Sikhs were in the majority.

If you want further detail you can read; "The Partition of Punjab" by Dr. Kirpal Singh, or Dr. Mahinder Singh's work on this topic....there is also "Freedom at Midnight" a contemporary Western book available at all libraries and bookstores.
