In this post, I am setting out the results of the 1901 Census of Punjab, which included the present day Pakistani province and the Indian states of Punjab, Haryana, Himachal and Delhi.
Religion-wise
| Religion | Population | Percentage |
| Muslim | 12,183,345 | 49% |
| Hindu | 10,344,469 | 42% |
| Sikh | 2,102,896 | 8.5% |
| Christian | 66,591 | |
| Jain | 49,983 | |
| Buddhist | 6,940 | |
| Zoroastrians | 477 | |
| Jews and Uspecified | 36 | |
| Total | 24,754,737 | 100% |
Fifteen Largest Castes per population in 1901
This section will not break up the largest castes by religion, which will be done in the next section. To give some background, the ten largest castes together accounted for 60% of the population. The largest caste in Punjab were the Jats, who were found in all three religious communities of the Punjab, and accounted for 20% of the total population. The two Dalit groups of the Chuhra and Chamar together accounted for 10% of the population. Most of the population from these two communities had remained Hindu in 1901. Agrarian groups like the Rajput, Arain and Gujar made up together 14% of the population. Among these, the Arain were almost entirely Muslim while the other two castes were largely Muslim.
| Caste | Population | Percentage |
| Jat | 4,946,651 | 20% |
| Rajput | 1,797,591 | 7% |
| Chamar | 1,268,434 | 5% |
