I wish to learn Punjabi. I don't live in punjab. Any reputed government university online course???? Please let me know . Thanks

Kiida dosto (and dushmans),

Was just wondering which of our sports you think has the best potential chance for massive international appeal? In terms in popularity, interest, engagement, merchandise sales, etc. As a whole.

My guess would be kabbadi. Maybe with more polished rules but that's also the only Punjabi game I think I know.

Hey everyone, I wanted to get your opinions on something that has been on my mind for a while.

I’m ethnically Haryanvi but grew up listening to Punjabi music, watching Punjabi movies, and even studied Punjabi as a subject in school. Because of that, I can speak theth Punjabi fluently.

Music has been my passion since childhood, and I’ve recently decided to seriously pursue it. I’m learning singing and writing songs from last 1 year, and I plan to create music in both Punjabi and Haryanvi. I think I’m doing well, and once I get my visa and move abroad, I’ll start releasing my music independently.

But here’s what scares me—will people accept me? I’ve asked a few people from both Punjab and Haryana, and the responses weren’t too positive. Some felt that audiences might not accept an artist doing both Punjabi and Haryanvi music.

What do you guys think? Do you believe music is universal and talent matters more, or do you think regional biases might hold me back? Would love to hear your honest thoughts!

Hi all WJKK WJFK

Asking on behalf of a friend.. Friend is an Amritdhari Sikh (In Canada) and is getting intrusive thoughts and appearances of Sri Krishna when he is doing Naam Jap.

I am concerned because he confided in me and told me that he started feeling a blissful feeling and it was something that he never experienced before.. I am really concerned that he is astray from Sikhi because he told me he hopes to see Sri Krishna again.

What should I tell him?

Really wanted to understand the tone and meaning of-

1. Haye sachi kure dassa tere nakhre da tor ni

Does this mean- “Tell me honestly what is the secret beyond your nakhra, it is incomparable”

Oh aashiq banaya sanu layi kadi lorr ni

• What does the second part mean

Bulliya te hassa tera kure maar janda ae ni

• This one please, what does Bullia mean

What are the next two lines- Sanu dass janda gall lambi challu hor ni

Oh gabru nu billo kehre chakra ch paya

I am not a Punjabi speaker and I have seen many other non-Pubjabi speakers (including the Prime Minister of India) and even a few people who's heritage language is Punjabi say "Sab Changa Si" to mean "everything is fine"/"sab theek hai". As far as I am aware, si/siga is a past tense form, so it means something more like "everything WAS fine".

Is "Sab changa si" used for the present tense in Punjabi? If not, is it known how this phrase became so popular.

I watched a Punjabi Naatak with my Maasi called "Bajjo" (Pakistan TV) and long story short I really love the character "Bushra." I've never felt this was about a fictional character lmao

She's Punjabi AF, my type if I was forced to pick. I was wondering where girls in Punjab (East) have the most traditionally Punjabi values, presentation and "Swa." Or if its not reigon specific. Also my guess is girls that carry themselves traditionally Punjabi are becoming less and less commom as Punjabi Modernizes, is this true? Like girls that don't drink, wear Punjabi suits out, have a quiet and demure attitude, etc.

I'm guessing there's an almost non-existent Sikh population in Lehnda Punjab but if there is, what would the equivalent region be? My guess is Lahore?

I will find my Bushra when its time 🥺

Did you also faced the same issue?

Im fluent in Panjabi, i speak it at home with family and all however, im unable to learn Gurmikhi, do any of you have any tips? Ive been watching videos and trying to learn that way however, it isnt quite working for me

So, I want to phrase this post as a discussion. It has been 4-5 months since the rumours that teaching Punjabi would be properly implemented into schools in Pakistan. But, I want to talk about how this should go about, if it were to happen.

Punjabi is a very diverse language, especially in Pakistan, with 5-10 dialects being spoken across the region, each with their own internal variation. Despite this, dialects still have enough common ground to generally stay mutually intelligible.

Usually, when you want to formally start teaching a language, you choose a standard variety. This is what most countries do. But for more diverse countries, this is often a bad idea.

Take Italy, which teaches standardised Italian based on the Tuscan dialect. This has resulted in the death of many native Italian dialects, and up to 31 Italian languages/dialects are now endangered, because children abandon their lingo for what they are taught is "correct".

In my opinion, enforcing a standard for Punjabi in Pakistan is not much better than only teaching Urdu. I wouldn't want a child in Layyah to be taught Lahore's dialect, nor vise versa, because that puts their own unique dialect in jeopardy. It may also just cause more division as we currently see with Saraiki, Hindko etc.

If Punjabi is to be taught, it needs to be localised to some level. Having an underlying syllabus is a good thing, but it should be adjusted to fit (perhaps for each district's) dialect. Now I know nothing about how reasonable/achievable this would be, but in my view it's the best scenario.

What are your guys' thoughts?

Military Wiki Mahan Singh Mirpuri Sardar Raja Mahan Singh Mirpuri (died 1844) (also spelled Maan Singh "Mirpura"/"Mirpuria") was a famous General in the kingdom of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, and was the second-in-command to the famous General Sardar Hari Singh Nalwa.

Impressed by his valor, the Maharaja had him inducted into the army under the famous General Hari Singh Nalwa. Mahan Singh played a key role in the battles of Peshawar and Kashmir, and in the 1818 siege of Multan, was seriously wounded two times. He went on to become second-in-command to Hari Singh Nalwa.
