[QUOTE="gurtej khubbar, post: 174118, member: 11123"] Sat Sri Akal, My hometown is Chandigarh and now I am settled in Sydney. This is what I think: Punjab - What does it mean? We use to define Punjab as "the word Punjab is from Sanskrit and Persian words panj (Sanskrit: पंच) and Āb (Persian: آب) that means "five" and "water", respectively, thus PanjĀb means "Five Rivers", which roughly means "Land of Five Rivers".[7] The five rivers are the Beas, Sutlej, Ravi, Chenab and Jehlum" What have we made it now: " Its still can be defined as a land of rivers, but unfortunately the rivers are made from Alcohol not pure water. This is how I would view Punjab as an outsider, sorry but its a hard core fact. P PETER SCOTT U UB STRONG N NO.1 J JOHNY WALKER A ARISTOCRAT B BAGPIPER Alcoholism is a new sign of being labelled as a Punjabi. If you don't drink then you are an outsider. Where ever you go, any family gathering , any marriage the first thing you will find it Alcohol. If you don't have alcohol in any of your functions, then you are just viewed as someone who is trying to save money nothing else. People will go to Gurudrawra during marriage and the moment they come out you will find them heading straight for the drinks. Then there is this ever growing problem of drugs, a recent stats showed that at least 50% of Punjab youth use drugs at some time in their life. This is a ridiculous high number under any circumstances. There is nothing in Punjab apart from its amazing history to be proud of now. Youth is ill mannered, people view Punjabi as someone who is ready to fight all the time and have no respect for others. But why? What is happening in punjab? One simple answer, "Nothing". Yes there is actually nothing happening in Punjab that will save it in long term. Illiterate and corrupt corporate governance has destroyed Punjab. The proud word "Punjabi" is now acting as a taboo for its development.

But the focus should be on Education and infrastructure. A competent government and a strong leader. High time people of Punjab realize this or else we need to be ready to lose it. Punjab was divided before and will be divided again if we don't act on it now. Gurtej Singh P.S. please can some one with good literature amend the above, I really want to put it on my FB page and spread the word. Thanks [/QUOTE]
