  4. ਵਾਹਿਗਰੂ ਜੀ ਕਾ ਖਾਲਸਾ ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕੀ ਫਤਹਿ। ਕੀ ਕੋਈ ਵੀਰ ਭਰਾ ਦੱਸ ਸਕਦਾ ਹੈ ਕਿ Pyre ਜੋ ਕਿ ਮੌਤ ਤੋਂ ਬਾਅਦ ਅੱਗ ਲਗਾਕੇ ਸ਼ਰੀਰ ਸਾੜਨ ਨੂੰ ਕਹਿੰਦੇ ਨੇ। ਇਸਨੂੰ ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਵਿਚ ਸਸਕਾਰ ਕਹਿੰਦੇ ਨੇ ਯਾ ਸੰਸਕਾਰ? ਕਿਉਕਿ ਸੰਸਕਾਰ ਨੂੰ ਇੰਗਲਿਸ਼ ਵਿੱਚ Manners ਕਹਿੰਦੇ ਨੇ। ਕਿਰਪਾ ਕਰਕੇ ਇਹ confusion ਦੂਰ ਕੀਤੀ ਜਾਵੇ। ਧਨਵਾਦ।
  5. WJKK, WJKF to all - new to the forum but sharing a link to a Punjabi version of Wordle. It may be interesting for any Punjabi readers hoping to practice. You can see people playing it on Twitter. I am no expert so please feel free to send any feedback along. Bhul chuk maaf, thank you!
  6. Hi, everyone. Can you share what your stereotypes are about Sikh girls? The good, the bad, the ugly? For example: Indian girls (in general) are stereotyped as hairy, prudish, nerds, get fat after 1-2 kids, really smart (even the dumb ones), not as attractive as other ethnicities, loyal, good cooks. What do men here personally stereotype Sikh women as from your experiences with them? I'd like to know even if it hurts, thanks.
  7. Every person shud hv love for his mother tongue. I hv great love for my mother tongue punjabi but we can't say that Punjabi is sikhi and sikhi is Punjabi. That's what daler Kaur Khalsa said and it hurt some haryanvi jaats who hv become Sikhs. Jaats want to become Sikhs but they want to preserve and protect their mother tongue haryanvi. They told me that they would like to learn Punjabi as lots of sikh literature is in Punjabi but they can't backstab haryanvi.

  10. I have tried to refrain from commenting on this, but I have noticed these peculiarities in most posts on these forums over the years. So what is the explanation? Is it due to a different pronunciation in the Doabi dialect that most of you speak (I know most of you have roots in the Doaba region)?
  11. I just wanted to make my first post here because this has been playing on my mind for a while now. I feel like Sikhi Kirtan does not have the same passion I hear from other religious musical pieces, and as a result its not inspiring young people. I feel like the popular Kirtans are easy, dull, follows Bollywood/punjabi tunes and therefore lacks originality/identity/spiritualism. I have been listening to Islamic sufi music, Christian hymns and Hindu Kirtans - which I find all sound different and beautiful in their own way. With Sufi music drawing me in the most - even Bollywood adaptations like 'Kun Faya Kun' sound beautiful. With young people, I don't expect Kirtan to modernise, it doesn't need to. Indian Classical Music is and will always remain timeless, if played with passion, dedication and training, then you can draw in anyone no matter where you live. This is why Ravi Shankar and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan broke internal barriers. Unfortunately most of the kirtan tunes these days sound like outdated Indian/punjabi pop music It doesn't help that only Sikhs can play kirtans in many Gurdwaras around the world. Collaboration inspires creativity - isn't that was sikhism was about? Openness to all? Here is a kirtan I think is nicely composed - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHJtedXR5v4

  13. This applies to Punjabi’s too. why is lying compulsively and being dishonest and integral part of our culture. We consistently lie about everything from the trivial little lies to big white lies. The whole indoctrination of being “tej” from the other person by our parents, only a nicer way of saying how we should strive to be so dishonest and deceptive to get our “matlab” from someone rather than creating some actual value and having something good to offer. I came to Canada as an international student and just as any other student I’m currently on my work permit and at a mercy of a crooked employer for my PR, and being bled dry for it. He’s a “sayana” for which I thought he’d be not be as bad, but is crooked to the core. Its been driving me nuts and giving me really bad anxiety. I’ve met many monays, gursikhs, hindus, and I’ve seen that behavior listed above manifest in every single one of them. I’ve yet to come across a single person who I can say could be a good role model. From what I’ve seen, here are the stereotypes I’ve formed regarding people in our diaspora: punjabi: tend to be overt in exploitation, don’t hide it at all. Lie to your face. Know they can do it and get away with it. I rented a room with this guy from which I had to leave half way through the month cause apparently the Punjabi family that lived there didn’t own the house and they didn’t tell me that and the true owners didn’t approve of me staying there, I paid rent in full and since I had leave half way through the month when the real owners found out so I asked for the half back and I didn’t get it. Typical “de dangey” everytime for months until I gave up. gujaratis: worst of them all, very cunning and the absolute true consmen. They can’t get enough of playing stupid little games. Telling others people stuff to others, and just causing unnecessary drama all the <banned word filter activated> time. Literally, they don’t get tired of it. That’s where the “scammer indian” stereotype comes from I guess. I’d like to know what’s all y’all opinion about what I just shared. Where do y’all think we went wrong? How did it all started and our values deteriorated and we landed ourselves in the mess that we are in. especially for us sikhs, where our gurus have set countless examples through their actions as to how to maintain integrity and manifest a strong moral fiber in the face of a torturous death. thank you for reading. also, when I mention Punjabi’s I’m referring to both sikh and Hindus.
  14. Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh. I thought as a positive, informative post, lets share punjabi food recipes and channels to help educate the youth on our beautiful cuisines and dishes. One good channel I found was Punjabi Veg Recipes: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-ND4aBWR5mlYxxZVBZm7fA Below are some of the recipes we've tried and taste nice: Roti (the essentials ? ) https://www.youtube.com/embed/gOZb1LGO9cQ Curry: https://www.youtube.com/embed/AKPdjnt6_Go Barfi (to wash it down with? ) https://www.youtube.com/embed/hDEdyskQScc
  15. As most of you are probably aware of the recent protests against Gurdas Maan in Canada and now spreading to the Punjab. All of this because of Gurdas Maans controversial support of BJP’s vision for India to become a Hindi speaking nation. People are feeling betrayed, as for years Gurdas Maan was seen to be pushing for Punjabiat through his songs and accumulated vast wealth in the process, although some of us were already aware of the negative influence of his songs on the youth of Punjab. His association with KPS Gill (the butcher) is well known but this has not tarnished his Demi-God status. Could this be ‘the straw that finally broke the camels back’ and are the people of Punjab waking up to Indian Governments plans for further assimilation of Punjab into Hindi, Hindu, Hindustan?
  16. I was wondering is there anyone here who learnt to write punjabi on their own. I can read and speak well but can't write. I don't have a punjabi teacher. When I was a kid I used to go to punjabi class, but as an adult its hard to learn because you just don't know how to compared to my brothers who are coming from punjab. Like what type of exercises, stuff do you do. In the west punjabi is not a school subject. Please don't be generic. If there is anyone with experience that would be wonderful.
  17. Sat sri akaal koi advice dey sukda apni Punjabi kestra improve ho sakdi hai ? Menu punjabi parni , teh bolni aundai hai par oh gal nahi joh punjabich Palia. Mai punjabi parnch slow hai, tai jado bolda english di accent vi mix hondi hai. Punjabi vich gl ho jandi hai, par kul ke gaal nehi hundi, thora chukda bolnch, atai grammer da pura gyan nahi Jini punjabi aundai hai uh ta gharch bolke ja sun ke sikhi hai, par mai tait punjabi sikhna chaunda hai. how do you stop speaking in small sentences , and start having complex sentences, and a cast vocabulary? What can you do other then speak more Punjabi ( because I already speak Punjabi all day , but I know it’s not good compared to those born in Punjab)
  18. vjk vjkf, Is there anyone here who is really really fluent in punjabi, like how they are in english. I can speak punjabi decently, but i still stutter sometimes, eat words, and sometimes break the flow of a conversation. I am not able to articulate my speech as I am in english ( and sometimes have difficulty expressing something because I don't know what words to use and how to construct that sentence in my mind) I wish to speak punjabi as I speak english, and let it be natural. How do you get there ? I can read in punjabi, but I am slower , and get tired of reading because it requires so much effort, also what do you do with vocab you don't get ? I want to speak punjabi well like my brothers born in Punjab.
  19. Shiv Kumar Batalvi wrote a poem about Guru Gobind Singh ji titled "aarti" he was a great man and did a lot of seva for Punjabi language during the time when the government was fast at work trying to replace Punjabi with Hindi and when Punjabi was seen as a ugly rural language he wrote some beautiful Punjabi poems.
  20. From certain people I was told now your marriage is over through the passing of my wife, that your ties to the family are now broken and I should not communicate, go over to the house etc. So my question is this what happens or is this a punjabi way of thought or is this taught to us through Guru Grant Sahib Ji?
  21. I am trying to learn punjabi language . what is real meaning of following words I heard randomly from some punjabi guys in college : 1) vichola 2) laada 3) aadi
  22. The Nirmale are a very old sect that was apparently started when a few sikhs were sent to Kanshi to learn Sanskrit from Brahmins under Guru Gobind Singh Ji's instruction. As a result, these Sikhs came back full of knowledge about Sanskrit but had been influenced by Brahminism as well. Thus this group twisted sikhi with a Vedantic view and claimed things like Guru Nanak Dev ji was an avtar of Vishnu and stuff. This sect has also had very close relations to Damdami Taksal. In the past, Nirmale Mahants/sants have had Taksali sants as their students and thus I think it is reasonable to assume that the Nirmales had an influence on the teachings that the Taksal subsequently taught. When listening to some Taksali prachar, I've heard things like the 5 pyare were not random, they were devte/bhagats that reincarnated. So basically saying that instead of being normal everyday people who courageously and wholeheartedly chose to become a part of Sikhi and Sikh tradition, they were preplanning to stand up in the crowd on Vaisakhi since their birth. Things like this make me question this prachar and think maybe Nirmale have a hand in combining Gurmat with Brahmanism in these jathebandis. Anyone else agree/disagree?
