    • It depends on the definition of Punjabi culture. (for the lawyers :) )

By punjabi culture i mean the giddha by women at lohri or weddings, or the bhangra by men and women at vaisakhi melas...the singers holding melas, the rowdiness, the late night card games etc. The occasional amli cracking jokes with the sharre, or bachelors. The young student doing taur, with his new pagh and western clothes and "scent", punjabi english word for cologne ;) , etc etc, i guess others can share their views on what makes up Punjabi culture.....

How will the formation of Khalistan impact current Punjabi culture if there will even be an impact?

I want to get people's feedback because many opponents of Khalistan bring up this question and say that if there was a Khalistan people would get beat up for shaving and trimming their beards, etc..

I am hoping for the sangat's views on this issue.

Thanks.

Well there are two sides to panjabi culture. One side is the side that completley clashes with sikhi eg. caste, alcohol, bhangra, (vulgar videos,crude lyrics),sexism(lorhi)etc ;) @ . I like our language, some of our folk traditions, our land and of course our food :nihungsmile:

do you think people of Punjab will ever get over caste, i mean Punjab is mostly agricultural and land is controlled by jatts mostly, very much into caste prejudice and divisions. Jatts even look down upon "Bhapas" or urban sikhs as inferior. How will all these attitudes evolve? Even KPS Ram (gill) said during the kharkoo days that it was all just a fight between "bigrioh jatts" spoiled or corrupted jatts, and sadly this is what it turned into eventually, with people getting their relative's sons killed by the police just to take over zameen or land. A person would call the police and say so and so's son is a atwaadi, terrorist, have that youth killed by the police and take over their land. It is a big problem something which needs to be addressed.

Ranjit Singh, uneducated person was a devot sikh.. Yes he was heavy drinker and stuff.. But he respected sikhi very very much.. (He is the person who accepted every hukam of akal takht, including the punishment to him).. NO KING or rule WILL DO THAT or did that in history !

Also keep in mind.. ranjit singh protect our gurus land for around 50 years or so.. He stopped the Afghan invasion.. We know what afghans used to do when they come amritsar city.. destroy, destroy and destroy..

Now back to punjabi culture.. What exactly is punjabi culture (for sikhs)?? To me it's something like Clean stuff.. no drink, no trim hair etc so on..

Every religion has it's own culture.. and without religion theres no culture (that's what happened to Russia) !! Punjabi culture is in punjab.. california west culture is in california.. Culture is just a simple lifestyle around us.. (period) can't erase em, and can't ignore em.. but Sure can keep limit on em ;) (thats what a bit of reality)

    • The Mind is Jyot Saroop (Waheguru), but the mind is under the influence of five evils… Through Naam Simran( Rememberance), the mind will begin to detach from evil, and get back to its original form ( MANN TU JYOT SAROOP HEH)… Until the mind breaks free from the five evils, one will go through the cycle of paap and punn….which leads to Karma… Naam Simran destroys past karma, and prevents new karma coming into fruition… I did this, I did that… This non realisation of the Jyot Saroop gives rise to paap and Punn, which in turn gives birth to suffering and misery…
    • I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124
    • That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.
    • Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!!
