[QUOTE="Gyani Jarnail Singh, post: 188684, member: 189"] Angrisha Ji, [B]Punjab-Punjabi-Sikh[/B] - these three ingredients are the reason why for instance GUJARATI or Tamil or Marathi would be out of the "question" in the way you have asked in your post. Gujrati doesnt have the 3 ingredients - its not Punjab its not Punjabi and its not Sikh related. For you to get at what i am saying is you have to go deep into the History of Punjab and SIKHS...way way back and certainly until 1947-1960 to see why the Punjab-Punjabi-Sikh equation is so UNIQUE or Made out to be "unique". In 1947 when India got its independence Punjabi was Offcially already recognised as one of the major and 15 Offcial languages. The Nehru Administration started the AUTOMATIC BREAK UP of Pre-Independence states into [B]LINGUISTIC STATES[/B]...and thats how Maharashtra for marathi..Gujrat for Gujrati, etc etc came into being from the Pre Independence states of Hyderabad etc. These LINGUISTIC STATES were "born" naturally...and without a single protest form any quarter...BUT when it came to the Turn of PUNJAB...the Nehru Administration decided that this "baby" was not to see the light of Day..at any cost.."Over my DEAD BODY" are the words of Nehru. The Punjabi SUBA Movement was a BANNED MOVEMENT..50,000 SIKHS Marching on the streets of Delhi to demand a Punjabi LINGUISTIC STATE was Lathi Charged by Mounted Police of Independent India of the First time after 1947. The Slogan Punjabi Suba Zindabad was declared Banned and and for saying it out loud one was jailed. 50,000 Sikhs were indeed JAILED.

The SIKH ingredient is the CAUSE of all this. As long as there are SIKHS..Punjab and Punjabi in INDIA will continue to get this treatment. The Most POWERFUL REASON why GURMUKHI is at its PEAK TODAY..is solely due to its usage in the GURU GRANTH SAHIB. The GURMUKHI FONTS in use today on the INTERNET were ALL solely invented for the purpose of GURBANI propogation..it was always GURBANI/SGGS..that is the DRIVING FORCE behind the GURMUKHI that we can see on the Internet. For the past 400 YEARS the SGGS has been the major preserving cause of GURMUKHI....if not for the SGGS...this "script would have long disappeared. The FONT invention and dedicated work was all done by INDIVIDUAL SIKHS in their private capacity - such as Dr THIND and many others whose FONTS still hold SWAY over all "download" sites. On the Internet there is also an ongoig attempt to get people to discard Gurmukhi for Roman spoken Punjabi by popularising softwares that transliterate spoken or written Punjabi in Roman script into Gurmukhi.
