It inspires you the right way, without being forceful and saying " you SHOULD learn , you MUST learn " which are statements that will get any little ego put-off with your good intentions and probably react by doing the opposite .. It is just fun and light hearted.

Worth watching and passing around.

YouTube - Chinese man speaks amazing Punjabi!

Nah, not that strange. After all, the Chinese are practically neighbours to the Panjab.

My Swedish university very Swedish Sikhism teacher is fluent in Panjabi, and has recommended that I (100% unexcitingly pure Swede for at least as many years as we have records for = until early 14th C) take a summer course ("Summer Program in Punjab Studies") to learn more on Sikhism and the language.

Will keep you informed of my progress, if any.

Somewhere I have a great article about Sikhs in China -- once decommissioned from the British army they settled in China, there they built 4 or 5 large gurdwaras in the early 20th Century mostly in Shanghai, were members of the municipal police forces, married Chinese women and raised families as Sikhs, and finally left China in the 1950's because of the cultural revolution. Most emigrated to Malaysia and Indonesia and Hong Kong.

So there once were Sikhs in numbers in China until not that long ago.
