Society
 
and
 
Culture
Uttarakhand society is a heterogeneous mixture of the various ethnic groups
from the Kumaon and Garhwal regions. Most of the people belonging to the
Uttarakhand society are heterodox Hindus and Buddhists; while we also
come across a number of Sikhs, who have migrated from West Punjab and
settled in Uttarakhand since 1947. Muslims and Christians form other
religious groups. The languages spoken by the people of Uttarakhand are
basically Hindi, Garhwali and Kumaoni.
