Why only Punjabis, I have seen many others non-Hindi speaking - speaking in Hindi so fluently. Also I have seen Punjabis speaking Marathi, Tamil, Kannad, Telegu, Malayalam, Assamese, Gujarati, English.....fluently in the respective areas.
May be for the common convenience.
May be adopting national language fast than others.
May be Punjab - land surrounded by more Hindi speaking states.

to resist instead of accepting everything that was thrown to them. Why should everyone learn Hindi leaving their language. All the states were like countries on their own before British Rule. The way it was United as a one country doesn't mean rest of the country to take whatever it shoved on to them. Learning Hindi has nothing to do with Patriotism or Culture. I was raised in Chennai. To me anything other than Tamil was foreign. I could relate to the other South Indian Languages but definitely not to any North Indian Language. If I had to learn a Foreign Language, I'd choose English over Hindi bcos of obvious reasons.

because they're not in Punjab and they find it easier to communicate with other people from other parts if India using Hindi rather than Punjabi.

Nobody can bound anyone by speaking any language. It is choice of an individual to communicate in the language of his or her choice which they are comfortable with. English is not our mother tongue but we use it to communicate with wider group of people, if we use our own native languages here, we will not be able to send our message across other than very small group.

When you are in the company of people speeking different languages it is always better to communicate in common language which everyone understands
