The Punjabi film industry is just as bad, in the 80's and 90's it was run by drug runners and gangsters needing to launder money (some film's are still financed this way), the "casting couch" has always existed, you don't have too look far on a google search to find the stories, there's certain actors who females actress's won't work with (go look up some of the stories about Binnu Dhillon).
Neeru Bajawa started her career in Hindi soaps, she's spoken of being typecast and producers wanting "favours", she's started her own production company because of this so she has control but she's in a position to do that because of her background and being able to financially do that, there a loads of actress's that can't and they get taken advantage off, look at all the stuff that's being going around of a certain Punjabi music video producer taking advantage of the models he hires for video shoot.
I agree there will be some wrong people in punjabI industry too but still it's much better than bollywood.
do u see the dirty item songs and smooching/kissing in punjabi movies? Answer is NO.

I also taught her mool mantar yesterday and she will do jaap of mool mantar too alongside the 2 pankitis.
She has started doing around 400 mool mantar daily and told me today that when she does mool mantar,she can feel God sitting nearby her.
I find it an interesting spiritual experience from someone who has not heard any katha on mool mantar.

these nihangs hv fear of sangat of fellow nihangs and they never over drink
See? Alcohol is so powerful even nihangs need fear of sangat to not overindulge.
And u accept grihistis who are under so much pressure and stress and with no sangat to be able to handle alcohol all by themselves?
Please realize that behangams (celibate, non-working such as Dera taksalis/nihangs and nanaksari babas) sikhs have a different maryada than grihistis who have jobs and kids to take care of.
And also just cuz its historical doesnt mean its right. The british recorded nihangs drinking alcohol. Cuz it happened. Not cuz the nihangs were right in drinking it. Why do u think nihangs were kicked out of harmandir sahib? Singh sabha had evidence about how bad they were behaving. And they used that evidence to rile up ppl afainst the nihangs.
u hv a good point.
leave aside alcohol, nihangs put too much sukha(cannabis) in shaheedi degh too.
there is no doubt that nihang organizations need some improvements.
But we must appreciate their positives too.

Veera, is a Sikh forum any sort of place to condone drinking, especially given what has been mentioned above with how alcoholism or drink culture can negatively impact families and especially effects females who have to bear the brunt of this?
That being said, apnay need to stop being in denial about this issue in the community.
wat about the British sources mentioning Singhs drinking liquor?

If all sikhs avoided alcohol (I’m including anyone who claims to be sikh) then there would be a huge reduction in problems that happen in this community right now. Divorce rate would go down as so many couples split based on the male drinking too much which effects a relationship. Sikhs wouldnt be as into going to clubs. Less interfaith relationships. Premarital relationships would be more PG. Everyone’s health would also be better. There is a huge alcohol problem amongst sikhs which really needs to be changed. I don’t see how it can change now though.
I know some nihangs who drink alcohol.
they just slowly sip around 40 ml of alcohol before sleeping and they get up at 1 am for doing simran.
these nihangs hv fear of sangat of fellow nihangs and they never over drink.
All the problems mentioned in ur post are of manmukh Sikhs over drinking alcohol. they abuse alcohol.

First of all, Krishnaavtaar is katha. It is not meant as a spiritual guide.
wat about hikaytan? It clearly mentions green cup(shaheedi degh).
if i am not wrong, it mentions alcohol too.

Sikhs aren’t meant to drink alcohol.
I am not saying that Sikhs shud start drinking alcohol.
All I am saying is that alcohol is not a bajjar kurehit and can be used as a medicine as it has strong medicinal qualities.

William Franklin 1798-1803
Seiks are remarkably fond of the flesh of the jungle Hog, which they kill in chance, this food is allowable by their law. They likewise eat of mutton and fish, but these being deemed unlawful, the Bramins will not partake, leaving those who chuse to transgress their institutes to answer for themselves. In the city or in the field the Seiks never smoke tobacco; they are not however averse to drinking spirituous liquors, in which they sometimes indulge to an immoderate excess;

some nihangs drink alcohol even today and there r some old British sources which says that Singhs drank liquor back then too.
1809-- Asiatic Annual Register by E Samuel
A Sikh wanting to become a Singh, finds no difficulty in accomplishing his proselytism. He goes to the Akali, or priests of the sect, at Amritsar, who ask him if he wishes to become a convert to their persuasion, and if so, to produce proofs of his determination ; upon which the convert breaks with his own hands, the small thread, or cord, worn across the shoulders by most of the Hindoo sects, and after the performance of certain ceremonies, he is given to drink a sherbet made of sugar and water, from the hand of an Akali. After this initiation, he never shaves his beard, nor cuts his hair, and ought not, according to a rigorous observance of the doctrines, to pair his nails, but that is dispensed with, though contrary to the rules of the lawgiver. Now become a Singh, Ire is heterodox, and distinct from the Hindoos, by whom he is considered as an apostate. He is not restricted in his diet, but is allowed, by tlie tenets of his new religion, to devour whatever food his appetite may prompt, excepting beef. He is allowed also to drink every kind of liquor, such as the Singhs. The Sikhs are those, who (if originally Hindoos,) together with the peculiar tenets and observances prescribed to the sect by its founder, Nanak, retain firmly the institutions of their faith, in strict conformity to the doctrines of Brahma

Conclusion
Alcoholic drinks have to be consumed with respect to the body constitution, digestive capacity, and health condition, along with a balanced diet. If consumed wisely, it excels over any medicine in terms of health preservation.

Mmm I've read studies like that for a while, as someone who served bar for many years, I can tell you it's a load of <banned word filter activated> written by alcoholic doctors.

Read Alexander Solzhenitsyn's Gulag Archipelago and George Orwell's Animal Farm and 1984 before you spout such nonsense. You resident Indians are clueless.

How popular are kabaddi and hockey in the pind these days?
In last 10 years or so , cricket has gained popularity in rural punjab.
kabaddi was always popular in pinds but in last 7-8 years has become popular in cities too due to the kabaddi world cup started by punjab govt.
hockey has always had a strong base in rural punjab.
