Re: The LOVE of Bengalis for Bengali..VS the Disregard even...Hatred of Punjabis for Punjabi

Gyani ji
I am very active in a India Pakistan friendship forum on internet. There I have met many Punjabis from Pak who told me that Punjabi in big cities is on decline. Most upper middle andmiddle class parents do not encourage their kids to speak in Punjabi.
Though things are different in smaller cities and Pinds.
People outside Pakistan will know the difference once we meet the current school going generation in foreign lands after some years.
The examples you gave of the old lady and videos of Anwar Masood saab (whom I a fan of) are from a different generation.
That by no means mean that Punjabi is finished in Pakistani Punjab. Its Punjab afterall. But its definitely on a decline.

Haan Ji..
But the one example of the 10 year old Hassan reading such nice Punjabi poetry affirms my belief that the next generation of Punjabis is already here and on the right track...PUNJABI just cannot DIE. The Indian side has taken over 60 YEARS in attempts to destroy the Punjab, Punjabi, Sikhism, etc etc economically socially linguistically..but the Punjabi tree has grown exponentially OVERSEAS in the same decades...the number of Daily Newspapers (FREE) in Vancouver Canada alone...are nearly 10 times that in Punjab (Paid).Lets hope for the Best...:happysingh::singhbhangra:

Re: The LOVE of Bengalis for Bengali..VS the Disregard even...Hatred of Punjabis for Punjabi

Proof of ground reality is very relative and subjective.
IN MALAYSIA..under the BRITISH..the PUNJABI SIKH came first..second was the MUSLIM Punjabi/Pathan and third was HINDU (Brahmins) khatrees etc..and many many Punjabi HINDUS converted to SIKHI just to get accepted...
After Independence the Country is ruled by Mulsim Majority..and in the last few decades its the PAKISTANI MUSLIM thats the preferred choice for citizenship jobs work visas etc..and thus there is a huge INFLUX of Pakistani Punjabis..and it would be one foolish Pakistani that would claim he is NOT a Pakistani but INDIAN becasue then he will be BOOTED out after his 14 day tourist visa expires..whereas as a Paksitani muslim he gets instant privileges..??? SO In this context the Video you posted sounds like out of sync with ground relaity as we see it here...in the WEST its the Indian SIKH who is more acceptable..and thus a pakistani would love to be "indian"..whereas over here Indian Muslims would love to be called pakistanis but they cant be becasue they dont speak PUNJABI ...

There are plenty of youtube videos about decline of local languages in Pakistan, If you take them as a proof of ground reality there you will be disappointed.


Listen to this Historical account on WHY whats happening in BOTH Punjabs...Pkaistani Punjab URDU..and Indian Punjab HINDI - BOTH want to KILL PUNJABI...Punjab is a COLONY on BOTH sides..

ALEXANDER the GREAT...beaten by PUNJABI KING POROS...the Turkish afghans Iranian Invaders beaten by Maharaja ranjit Singh....the BRITISH beaten by PUNJABIS. Chellianwaala battlefield had the BIGGEST BRITISH CASUALITIES EVER !!! ..PUNJAB has been a THORN in the side of EVERY RULING AUTHORITY..Mughals..BRITISH..and then..BOTH Pakistani Authorities and Indian Authorities...BOTH sides are continuing the BRITISH AUTHORITY design to KILL PUNJAB and PUNJABIAT...BBC still refuses to have a PUNJABI SHOW despite the 17 KROR Punjabi speaking peoples in the world...!! WHY ??
Pakistani Media anti-Punjab Indian media also ANTI-Punjabi/PUNJAB...Paksitan is now on road to FURTHER DIVIDE PUNJAB to make it smaller !!! Punjab Division will Lead to Disintegration of Pakistan - Nazeer Kahut - Bilatakalluf Ep83 - YouTube

Who are these Saraiki people?

Heres a link to the saraikis...they are a sub group in the Punjab region..FIRST BROUGHT under Punjab state by conquest of Bahawalpur and Multan by Maharaja Ranjit Singh...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saraiki_people

2. Within the next few YEARS..Indian Punjab will see a DEMAND by the BHAIYAHS for BHOJPURI RECOGNITION..judging by the way their population and birth rates in Punjab..vis a vis the Original PUNJABIS who are migrating OUT...Punjab is no more going to be a Sikh/Punjabi majority area soon...
