"The Punjabis used to speak their own language, which is older even than the Dravadian's". This was claimed by the eminent Punjabi litterateur Dr. Satinder Singh Noor while delivering his keynote address in the inaugural session of the 2-day national seminar on "New Perspectives of Punjabi Language, Literature and Culture" organised by the Department of Punjabi at Kurukshetra University, India. About 30 scholars of Punjabi language and literature are participating in this seminar from Punjab, Haryana, and Delhi.
