Problem with juts or jaats is that they seem to be low IQ? Hence them going to western countries to be mistris/tarkhans which according to pendu jut subeachaar is 'low caste'? But them having all advantages in their homeland???? Bwaaaahh, pareeepaaa!
They need to leave their skirt wearing, anti-intellectual, scarcely concealed homo-culture behind and become a little more sophisticated - maybe?
How insecure are you? You need to see a therapist so you can get some help but to be honest of you are in your fifties then I doubt even the best therapist could help you. You are a lost cause. Keep having your little digs. The non-Tarkhans who have come over from Punjab in the last few decades have pretty much pushed the Tarkhans out of their traditional jobs. I have seen freshies make better wardrobes than Tarkhans who have been doing it for decades plus they do it cheaper and don't try and defraud you by bumping up costs after they have got your deposit. Freshies have cornered the building trades hence your jealousy. Be honest, how many freshies you have taken the pi$$ out of gone on to do better than a diharia like you. A fuD4u like you had all the advantages of being born her, being educated here and these freshies is doing better than you and have their own companies while you are slaving for Goray.
Seems like you can't handle that the Jaats todays may be undergoing the same transformation into Sikhi that happened a hundred years ago in Punjab. To be honest I would rather have 1 Jaat coming to Sikhi rather than retain 10 Tarkhans in Sikhi. This is where the old adage quality not quantity is so true. Better to have 1 Jaat joining Sikhi and expanding the frontiers of Sikhi than retaining 10 backbiting, low IQ, kanjoos laagis like you.

QuoteThe East African Sikhs form one part of the total Asian population in the UK from East Africa which is estimated to be around 206,000, of which slightly over half are men. (2) The majority of them arrived in the UK from the mid-1960s onwards, their pattern of migration being different from that of direct migrants from the Indian sub-continent and Pakistan (Ballard 1973; Ballard and Ballard 1977; Saifullah Khan 1976, 1977; Helweg 1979; 2 Anwar 1976; Kahya 1973; Jeffrey 1976; Robinson 1984). They are twice removed, having left the Punjab during the early part of the twentieth century as indentured labour to build the Kenya-Uganda railway (Mangat 1969:32) and thence to the UK in the 196Os, having been seriously affected by post-independence Africanization policies
Indentured labour
QuoteThe Indian indenture system was a system of indentured servitude, by which more than one million Indians[1] were transported to labour in European colonies, as a substitute for slave labor, following the abolition of the trade in the early 19th century. The system expanded after the abolition of slavery in the British Empire in 1833,[2] in the French colonies in 1848, and in the Dutch Empire in 1863. British Indian indentureship lasted till the 1920s. This resulted in the development of a large Indian diaspora in the Caribbean,[3] Natal (South Africa), East Africa, Réunion, Mauritius, Sri Lanka,[4] Malaysia,[5] Myanmar, to Fiji, as well as the growth of Indo-Caribbean, Indo-African, Indo-Fijian, Indo-Malaysian, and Indo-Singaporean populations

Priti Patel is a joke, she has been a total failure on the migrants coming on boats from France.

Your claim that your grandfather was some Tarkhan strongman who beat Jats in the village shows the amount of bullshyte that your people tell each other to try and boost themselves. You people were laagis among Jats and Kamins among Muslims. People dependant upon the Jats, Muslim Jats in the west, Sikh Jats in the central and Hindu Jaats in the east of Punjab. In non-Jat villages you were under the various other agricultural castes such as Rajputs, Saini, Kamboh etc. Your people are well known for their back stabbing kanjoopana. You like to rant about Jats, but we have a better reputation in rural punjab than you have in any country you are in. Duggus like you are well known as BS merchants getting gappan about how great they had in in Africa when the fact is you got your butts kicked by the blacks against whom you and the gujjus were racist.

One can just sense the jealousy of our resident duggu. His people the Tarkhans were the ONLY Sikhs to be indentured labourers for the British in East Africa. While other Sikhs went abroad went as free emigrants, many having served abroad and went to countries outside India to earn enough to send back to Punjab. The Duggu Tarkhans went as indentured labourers which was just a notch above slavery and this duggus calls those brave Sikhs who fought in the army as slaves. While his duggus were being eaten by lions in Kenya, the Sikh soldiers were fighting in wars and maintaining a martial history.
The duggu who has never been to Punjab, does not even understand that army recruitment meant that some castes such as Lobana and Mazhabi were able to become agricultural castes and hence own land. The battle hardened Sikh soldiers of WW1 formed the backbone of the Akali Jathas that wrested back the Gurdwaras for the community and the Sikh soldiers of WW2 formed the backbone of the Jathas that saved East Punjab. How many Tarkhans were in any of these Jathas, very few if any. If you want a table and chairs then a Tarkhan is your man, but if you want to save your land from going to Pakistan then best to look for other Sikhs.

7 hours ago, Suchi said:Your figures make No Sense. The graph shows total migrants into Punjab as 1.37cr which is 13.7 million. The rest of your data has no basis in fact ie. You've just made it up!
We know that prior to 1984, Sikhs were 52% and Hindus were 48%. The fight is Not between Hindus-Sikhs, it was for water and land resources. Fights are always about land and resources as oppressors wish to control both to control the population. As you're aware as you've mentioned that Hindu Punjabis own very little land.
Why that is could be the subject of an entirely different thread. But basically Hindu Khatris are a Warrior caste, hence are allowed weapons but Not Businesses or Land. Called division of labour and power. Hindu Brahmins are the Spiritual leaders hence not allowed to accumulate wealth or arms. Only the business class (3rd caste) are allowed to do business/accumulate wealth but cannot have arms or vedic knowledge.
Because this has changed due to historical reasons there is Hell on Earth. Jats (previously landless labourers) have money, land, arms and political power and claiming top caste!!! But they have Zero Spiritual Power due to Lack of Morals. Only good for Bhangra and Bhang.
Sure they are great fighters. No doubt.
Both Muslims and the British played their part in this. Called subversion.
For someone who claims his people are more intelligent that us yet you cannot even read a simple chart. Migrants are classed as intra-state and inter state migrantion, so if a Bhaiya comes to Punjab then is an inter state migrant, if a Sikh moves from his village to the town WITHIN Punjab then he is an intra-state migrant.
The 13.7 million figure takes intra-state migration into account. I just took the intra state figure which would include all Bhiayas coming to Punjab.

Do we? The 52% Sikh and 48% Hindu figure was used by the media from the late 70s until 1985 when the 1981 census figures proved these to have been false in order to paint the Dharm Yudh morcha as an attempt by a bare majority Sikh population to try and maintain their control of Punjab. The same tactic was used by the media during the farm laws andolan by painting it as mainly a Sikh agitation. In 1985 the census showed that Sikhs were 60.75% of the population of Punjab. The fact that you still use the pre-census media's false figures shows that you have not even taken the time to verify what you have been spoon fed. You are a mindless drone.
You can see how Bhaiya population after 1971 started to affect the demographics of Punjab with the increase in the Muslim population while the Christian population actually decreased because there were no Christian bhaiyas migrating to Punjab to increase their population. Even with the increase in Bhaiya Hindus, the Sikhs still increased their percentage between 1971-1981 because the Sikh birth rate was higher than the Hindu.

The Hindu Khatris are not a warrior caste, the Hindu Khatris might ACT as warriors in Bollywood films but they never had a warrior status. The only warrior Khatris after 1708 were the Sikh Misldars, Hari Singh Nalwa and Dewa Mohkam Chand during the time of Maharaja Ranjit Singh. Otherwise the Hindu Khatris were traders or administrators such as Dewan Sawan Mal and Dewan Mulraj of Multan.
QuoteBecause this has changed due to historical reasons there is Hell on Earth. Jats (previously landless labourers) have money, land, arms and political power and claiming top caste!!! But they have Zero Spiritual Power due to Lack of Morals. Only good for Bhangra and Bhang.
Jats were never landless labourers. They had their own villages and lands, their own religion which was not Hinduism and they took advantage of the chaos of the 18th century to carve out their own kingdoms. While your people were the like sheep to the Muslim sword, the Jats fought the Muslims and won. They came to Sikhi because the other alternatives of Islam and Hinduism did not suit their mindset. They would not play second fiddle to the Pathans and Mughals in Islam and they hated the effeminate Brahmins and the caste system of Hinduism. If Bhangra and Bhang is the way you characterise Jats, then I would characterise you as only good for drinking cow urine and throwing cow sh.t around.

Some of the Indian prisoners captured in North Africa by the Nazis were given a choice to join the Free Indian Legion, similar to the Indian National Army which was used by the Japanese. They were not in the same numbers as the INA and were mainly used for guard duties and some were based on Hitler's Atlantic wall waiting for the allied invasion. Here are some pictures of the Sikh soldiers in the FIL.

And I submit as evidence -;
On 2/5/2022 at 4:39 AM, Suchi said:Who is the enemy and whom are you fighting? First define the enemy according to Sikhi.
As far as I understand the teachings of Guru Nanakji, the enemy is within as he embraced the teachings of both Islam and the Hindus. I believe he was enlightened and declared 'There is No Hindu. There is No Muslim'. I personally know this to be true.
I have read that he might have converted to Islam as only declared Muslims are allowed in the Kaaba and that his body was taken by his Muslim followers and buried as a result. We know it was never found.
If this is true, then with whom do the allegiance of Sikhs lie as later they were forced to fight and kill the very same people.
It is interesting that the Sikh symbol today is the exact same as on the Iranian flag. So why would that be?
Could it be that the origin of Guru Nanak ji was indeed Persia (I understand he hailed from the Bactria region that has Persian ancestry). Or he became attracted to Sufi Islam and hence converted? If so, it would certainly be problematic for Hindus and their Dharmic faith as they have spent almost a thousand years to get rid of this menace which they are still facing.
Would it shake your faith if, indeed, this were true? Where would your allegiance lie? Where would this put the position of GGSji who was actually forced to form a Fauj against the people that Guru Nanakji had, in good faith, embraced?
On 2/5/2022 at 1:11 AM, Suchi said:Hinduism is a living philosophy. It is Not a Fixed entity. We believe that everything is subject to change and we must move with the flow.
Before Islam Hindus didn't fight after sunset probably due to lack of light. So we followed rules.
Hence we were caught by surprise by the Islamic hordes attacking during the night. To respond to this challenge we had to create a new policy to deal with this menace.
Hence probably why Sikhs are required to wake after midnight to pray so they are ready for any impending attack. Furthermore, Sikhs are required to never remove their Kirpan, hence be ever ready for battle. These rituals are still practised today according to my understanding.
However, in my view there is a fundamental flaw in the teachings. That is to help the enemy who is down in battle, in the belief we are all One. The other was not to take land that had been captured from the enemy. Hence it seems more of a suicide mission as most, if not all, the fighters were killed and more Hindus were forced to join to boost the Fauj.
That was until Banda Bahadhur joined the Khalsa, who was a Khatri versed in battle with proven spiritual powers that he used in battle following his agreement to come out of retirement and fight for GGSji. He vanquished the enemy very quickly and recaptured stolen land for which he was reprimanded by GuruGobind Singhji wife who had made a pledge with the Moghul ruler who had promised her son would be rewarded.
Furthermore, as Guru Nanakji had already attempted to appease the Muslims by declaring 'We are All One' and creating a new panth based on Sufi/Bhakti philosophy, this edict was followed by Guru Gobind Singhji which he could not veer from.
The Bhakti teachings are not suitable for a Fauj/Army that has to protect its population and secure its borders. War is about killing the enemy not helping them when they're losing!
I'm aware that Maharaja Ranjit Singh did capture alot of land but it seems he was outmanoevered by the British who infiltrated his army, double crossed him and destroyed his entire family.
The reality is that the British were joined at the hip with their European partners via their various secret societies which we are only just learning about. Hence why French, German and other nationals were working in tandem to overthrow Indian hegemony using any number of subversive tactics in a total transfer of wealth and assets to the whole of Europe and then USA.

On 2/5/2022 at 12:03 AM, Suchi said:I think many made the eldest son due to Britishers favouring only Kalsa Sikhs with 5 kakkars (replacing 5 hatiar) with jobs, land and opportunities abroad so it was probably an economic decision after they came into power.
Again complete BS.
During the mutiny the British recruited former Khalsa army troops to their ranks and when they wanted to expand the Sikh numbers after 1857 they relied on these as well as their sons to join the newly reorganised army. There would be very few cases of 'Hindu' Jats being former Khalsa army veterans because very few Hindus were in the army apart for non-Punjabi Gurkhas and Poorbiyas.
The army factor only came into play in the first world war when the British undertook intense recruitment in the years 1917-18. By then most of the Jathera/Sultani Jats had already become Sikhs. The only districts where Jathera/Sultanis were still around in large numbers was in Hoshiarpur where the British did not even recruit heavily and these Jats became Sikhs during the Akali movement. During WW1 The British favoured Jat and Mazhabi Sikh recruits because they had proven themselves in battle. The only Khatris and Brahmins they would recruit would be a few hundred mainly for administration work due to their higher rate of literacy. There is no doubt that small numbers of Jathera/Sultani Jats did join the army and become Sikhs but not in the numbers that justify your 'eldest son' BS.
In my village the only known case of an actual Hindu becoming a Sikh after joining the army was of a Brahmin who became a Sikh during WW2 but upon being demobilised he cut his hair again and became a Hindu. His family were the only Hindus in the village and they maintained a family Mandir in the village. His son was a police officer and was killed by the Kharkoos in the late 80s.His other son migrated to Ludhiana. There are other Brahmin families in the villages but they had taken to farming at some stage and although still Brahmins they had become Sikhs probably around the 1930s and they are virtually indistinguishable from the Jats in the village.

Better educated in RSS and HIndutva BS.
Most of what comes out of a Hindu Punjabi's mouth about Sikhi and Sikh history is compete falsehood.
QuoteMany others were forced to boost the numbers to replace the Faujis lost in battle. So there is no Sikh without the Hindu
The vast majority or at least 70% of those who became Sikhs especially at the time of Guru Gobind Singh and the Misls were Jats who were never Hindus and were tribal Jathera worshippers or Sultanis. The Khatris in fact for the most part disowned Sikhi after 1699, the ones is Delhi were split between those who wanted to become Khalsa and those who didn't. The ones who didn't were lukewarm followers still following Hindu traditions like Mundan (shaving of head after the death of ones father, shaving of head of a child) and because the Khalsa was to keep their Kesh, they strongly objected to the Khalsa. The Khatris who became Khalsa were smaller in number than the Khatris who still aligned with the Mughal state and wanted to retain their Hindu customs. The small number of Khatris that became Khalsa did contribute a great deal to the Sikh struggle and some were leaders of Misls. Nearly all Jathera worshipping and many Sultanis Jats never had this issue with becoming Khalsa Sikhs as they never practised Mundan. The Sultani Jats who did not become Sikhs opposed the Khalsa, but when the Khalsa took over power, many more Sultanis became Sikhs and in the British times and with the Singh Sabha and Akali movement the vast majority of Sultani Jats became Sikhs as well.
You being a Punjabi Hindu, I assume you come from either the Brahmin/Bania or Khatri/Arora background. The Brahmin/Bania were never supporters of Sikhi and the Khatri have already been shown to have a lukewarm belief in Sikhi so your views of Sikhi doesn't really amount to much as you subscribe to the Hindu falsehood of all Sikhs were Hindus prior to becoming Sikhs.

The recent report by the University of Birmingham report about 'Islamophobia' showed that Muslims are the second most disliked group in Britain after Gypsies/Irish travellers.
The report author makes the usual liberal BS excuse of the 'negative' portrayal of Islam in the media as the reason that the more educated the person then the more likely he/she is to dislike Islam.
Sikhs have a more positive image in Britain even compared to the Jews (39.8% compared to 35.8% and slightly above Christians)

These people who own weapons have taken on a personal responsibility to protect their families and those around them. When you want to subdue a people then the first act is to deprive them of the ability to fight back effectively. The British at the annexation of Punjab ordered all the people to give up all their weapons. This liberal woman knows that a population which is armed will never allow themselves to the subdued. The power of the oppressive state lies in its ability to unleash lethal force at any time on the people, if they people also have the ability to respond with lethal force, then the power of the oppressive state is diminished.

Punjabi Hindus led by Lala Jagat Narain not only lied about being Hindi speakers but also instigated some Dalits especially the Aad Dharmi Dalits in Punjab to also register their language as Hindi in the 1951 census. This created a situation which could have led to riots.
Swaran Singh (Civil Lines, Jullundur City) to Sardar Baldev Singh, 6 March 1951 (Nehru Papers post-47 file 75)
“A very serious situation has arisen in Jullundur district over the language controversy. You must be already aware of the propaganda which was carried on by a certain class of Hindus for persuading the Harijan classes to state at the time of census that Hindi was their mother tongue. Partly as a result of this propaganda and partly on account of the predominance of Hindus amongst the enumerators, a very large section of Harijan population has been recorded as Hindi-speaking population…Illiterate Harijans in the villages who cannot speak or understand even one word of Hindi have been recorded as Hindi-speaking individuals. This has naturally caused resentment in the minds of the Sikhs and they have in a quiet and peaceful manner told the Harijans that the latter have nothing to do with them and a state of peaceful boycott prevails in a fairly large number of villages…The Hindu communalists nakedly in some cases and under the grab of Congress and nationalism in other cases, have fully exploited this situation. They have instigated the Harijans to pick up some quarrel or the other and thus to afford a pretext to the police to make arrests. During the last 3-4 days over 100 persons have already been arrested from villages situated in the different tehsils of the district. Of the arrested persons, about 30-40 so far are the Harijans and the remaining persons are Sikhs, mostly Jats. The action is taken for breach of peace and bails are purposely delayed in order to demoralize the rural people…I had a long talk with [Chief Minister] Dr. Gopi Chand who was on tour at Jullundur yesterday, but as usual he is extremely indecisive. [Some] MLAs are doing their worst to instigate the Harijans and are poisoning the ears of the local officers. Lala Jagat Narain [future founder/editor of Punjab Kesari] has been particularly poisonous in his writings. A very serious situation prevails, and I won’t be surprised if the province is hurled into chaos and if serious effort is not made to straighten out this matter…The self-styled leaders, the press and the local officers should be made to realize that they are playing with fire and the consequence can be extremely disastrous”.
PV Bhaskaran (Deputy Director – Intelligence Bureau) to HVR Iengar (Ministry of Home Affairs), VP Menon (Ministry of States) & Dharma Vira (Pr. PS to PM), 15 March 1951 (Nehru Papers post-47 file 75)
“The bitter animosity which has been witnessed in Punjab and the PEPSU between the Sikhs and the Hindus over the Punjabi-Hindi language controversy in the census has had unpleasant repercussions for the Harijans in many centres of these two states. There have been several complaints of the coercion [arson] and economic boycott [departure] of the Harijans of the PEPSU by the Sikhs, [across villages] in Kapurthala and Patiala district(s). Security proceedings have had to be commenced against Harijans and Sikh Jats…
A deputation of Hindus and Harijans of [some] villages of Kapurthala district, waited on the District Commissioner with complaints of oppression, but were reported to have been told that they had themselves invited this trouble by furnishing Hindi as their language, while living in a Punjabi-speaking area…of Sikh Zamindars. Some of them complained that Akali workers had forcibly obtained their thumb impressions on applications, which sought to have their language changed from Hindi to Punjabi. Some harassment of Harijan women has also been mentioned, [amidst] reported, [en]forced [departures]…Some Harijans, apparently acting under intimidation, actually applied to the DC to alter their language from Hindi to Punjabi in the census returns. In Sangrur district, the Harijans are reported to have been boycotted by the Sikh Zamindars, with the result that they had to march long distance to the town to fetch their food-grains and other daily necessities of life. The districts of Bhatinda and Fatehgarh Saheb were the [other] areas from which such trouble has been reported [with] Harijans of rural areas reported to have moved to town for safety.
In Punjab, Jullundur district has been the worst affected. 98 Jat Sikhs and 45 Harijans have been arrested in this district. A Harijan was murdered by Jat Sikhs…on February 28. Some of the houses of the Harijans who furnished Hindi as their language were reported to have been set on fire…It is reported that the Harijans of these areas have refused to remove the dead bodies of the animals belonging to the Sikhs, and that the latter have boycotted them…Similar complaints have also been made against the Sikhs by the Hindus and the Harijans of some centres of Gurdaspur district…Hoshiarpur and Ferozepur district have also been scenes of similar communal trouble.
The PEPSU Achhut Federation has protested strongly against the “unprovoked high-handedness and injustice” done to Harijans during the census and has demanded their immediate resettlement in their own villages. [There was] a well-attended conference of the depressed classes’ league at Patiala on March 4. A resolution was then accepted, urging the central government to order an independent enquiry on the high-handedness of the Sikhs and the maltreatment of the Harijans of Punjab and the PEPSU in the course of the census operations. [A] speaker warned that the Harijans could cause havoc by staging a week’s hartal of sweepers. [Another] warned the Sikhs not to poison the atmosphere with the language controversy.
The Harijan Sabha of Amritsar convened a meeting on March 6 and warned the Harijans to beware of the tactics of both the Hindus and the Sikhs, and to remain aloof as a separate group. The government was also requested to take the necessary action against the aggressors, failing which, it was warned that a movement of satyagraha would be commenced by refusing to do scavenging and other menial services. The Sweepers Federation of Simla also held a meeting, to deplore the communal tension created by the census operations due to the coercion of the Sikhs. One of the speakers…threatened a strike of sweepers. Resolutions were adopted protesting against the victimisation of the Harijans and demanding the appointment of an enquiry committee consisting of officials drafted from other states.
A refugee camp has been set up at Amritsar by the Hindu Mahasabha and the RSSS, with the assistance of the local Scheduled Castes Federation, to shelter the Harijans who have been migrating from rural areas…There are now only 25 inmates in this camp, but about 245 other Harijans are in shelter in the town with the help of local Hindu hide merchants…This situation was mentioned by NC Chatterjee of the Hindu Mahasabha, at a public meeting at Amritsar on March 11, when he said that the social boycott of the Harijans of Punjab would lead to civil war and anarchy. [A] Punjab Hindu Mahasabha [speaker] advised the Sikhs to stop their oppression of the Harijans in rural areas, warning them that the Sikhs might similarly be victimised in other states of India where they were n a minority.
As is well-known, Master Tara Singh and other leaders of the Shiromani Akali Dal have been bitterly critical of the Hindus and their action in recording Hindi as their language in the census…[Their] visit in Patiala, in the last week of February, gave rise to rumours of impending communal disturbances…Several refugees are reported to have left…Unless firm measures are taken both at official and non-official levels, there may be the danger of the situation getting out of hand”.

I am not a fan of Navjot Sidhu but his induction into the Congress has destroyed the party in Punjab as well as ended the rule of Captain which was a disaster and purely for that all Sikhs should be grateful to him!
Here is the Hindu Jat Sunil Jakhar playing the victim card for all Hindu Punjabis. He has tried to win Sikh support by making noises about the Bargari firings but no Sikh Jat will shift his vote to Congress just because this guy is a Jat. Those who betrayed Punjab now want Sikhs to let one of these traitors become CM of Punjab.

Only when they were needed to boost the numbers hence the eldest son was converted or when they were under threat they joined to fight the oppressors. That much is clear from the history.
Whilst they are culturally close Sikhs themselves have more recently insisted they are a distinct and separate religion which was rejected by most Hindus.
Hindu Punjabis in particular are less rigid, and more tolerant of Sikhs. Hinduism is also very broad so they are attached to their culture and teachings of Yoga, Ayurveda, Vedic rituals, Gita, Ramayana and the many festivals make them more inclined to stay within Hinduism.
Sikhism was never meant to be a new religion but an additional Dharmic path.
The Punjabi Hindu has been in decline since the 1880s. Although they like to claim that they are rooted to Punjab, they are mostly landless. The higher caste Hindus are urban dwellers while the lower castes own very little land. Each decadal census from 1881 to 1941 commented on the decline of the Punjabi Hindu. The decline was actually greater because the Punjabi Hindu population was artificially boosted by the Hindus of Haryana and Himachal which were a part of Punjab during British times. If we look at the core Punjab areas - all of west Punjab and the present east Punjab historically, the Hindu population was declining on a large scale.
The only reason that Hindu population in Punjab has increased in the last two decades is due to the migration of Bhaiyas from Bihar and UP. So from a declining population the Hindus in Punjab have had their population artificially boosted by migration into Punjab.
Punjab has nearly 2.5 million migrants which is 9% of the total population. If we take that 100,000 of these could be Sikhs who migrated to Punjab from the rest of India after the genocide of 1984. After 1984 there was also an outmigration from Punjab of Punjabi Hindus who settled in Delhi and Haryana but the numbers were small possibly 20,000 at most and many came back to Punjab in the 1990s.
If we take off another 200,000 who are Muslim Bhaiyas so that leaves 2.2 million Hindu Bhaiyas who have migrated to Punjab and who are included in the census figures for 2011.
In 1971 when there were very few Bhaiyas in Punjab the population of Sikhs in Punjab was 60.22% and the Punjabi Hindus were 37.54% after 40 years of migration of Bhaiyas into Punjab in 2011 the Sikh population was 57.69% and the Hindu population was 38.49%. The population of Punjab was 27.7 million in 2011.
In absolute numbers Punjab's Hindu population in 2011 was 10.7 million and the Sikh population was 16 million.
If we deduct these Hindu migrants from the total population of Punjab 27.7 - 2.2 millions bring Punjab's population to 25.5 million.
Deducting the Hindu Bhaiya population from Punjab's Hindu population 10.7 - 2.2 million bring the Hindu population of Punjab to 8.5 million.
So without the migration of Hindu Bhaiyas the Punjabi Hindu population was 33.3% and Punjab's Sikh population would have been 62.7% a slight increase from 60.22%
If we take into account the larger number of Sikh migrants leaving Punjab for abroad compared to the number of Hindus leaving this would make the Sikh population percentage even greater.

It's good to see that Sikhi is progressing in Haryana. If the Sikhi progresses in Haryana the same way that it did in Punjab a hundred years ago then we will see a lot of the more educated Jaats becoming Sikhs and bring the lesser educated Jaats to Sikhi as well. I think we need to be careful about the usage of Mandirs for Gurbani because the RSS and BJP could easily use that as a means to show that Hindu Mandirs are being taken over by Sikhs and generate opposition especially from castes that aren't currently as influenced by Sikhi as the Jaats.

Early morning can be Wadda Tarka. For us Athan is evening/sunset and Dupaira is afternoon. Both pronunciations of Juaak/Jwaak are used in Malwa. It depends on the speaker to pick the one they prefer.
Regarding Dupaira, it is a left over from the way that time was measured in south Asia. The night and the day were both spilt into Pahars each having four Pahars of three hours each, these are also mentioned in Gurbani. The first Pahar of the day started at sunrise and last finished at sunset. So the first Pahar would start around 6am and the second Pahar would start at 9am to noon. So technically Dupaira which I assume is shortened form of Duja Pahara would be some time between 9am and noon. Unless of course Dupaira just means Do or Two Pahars in which case it could be anytime between 9am and 3pm.

Isn't Beti Hindi?
Isn't Beti used more as a term of respect by elders who are not the actual parents of the girl to refer to a girl? The parents would call her BETAY - plural of Beti and Beta - or maybe this could just be a urban usage rather than in rural areas.

Is Punjabi 5500 years old?
in WHAT'S HAPPENING?
Posted
Its interesting but I doubt we would be able to prove that Punjabi as a language is 5500 years old. Probably the best we could do is to push it back to 500 AD or thereabouts. That would make it 300 years older than English the world language and this would be a great achievement. But what it does show is we have allowed ourselves to be propagandised by others and we have allowed their biased perception of Punjabi being a crude language to persist for many decades. Also the eagerness with which we have allowed the two foreign scripts such as Shahmukhi and to a lesser degree Devanagari to be considered Punjabi scripts has been downright criminal on our part. For Shahmukhi we allowed the falsehood that before Gurmukhi, Punjabi was written in Shahmukhi script by the Sufis. Nothing could be further from the truth, for instance the first written copies of Waris Shah's Heer in Persian script on the orders of a former Durbari in Maharaja Ranjit Singh's court in the 1850s. Prior to that there are copies of the text in Gurmukhi. The Sufis were an oral tradition and their compositions were memorised and recited and not written down. Probably the first ever writing of a Sufi was Baba Farid's Bani in Gurmukhi in the Guru Granth Sahib.
During the British times, they recorded literacy according to language by knowledge of it's script. Gurmukhi was tied to Punjabi, Nastaliq with Urdu and Devanagari with Hindi. They never considered there was such as script as Shahmukhi and the very name imitating the name Gurmukhi shows it is of recent vintage. This acceptance of Shahmukhi script has led to Punjabi being one of the few languages in the world to have two mutually unintelligible scripts.
