Punjabi Not Mandatory In Punjab Schools , Other States Make Regional Languages Mandatory, Progressing Fast

The “State language” Punjabi in State of Punjab is not mandatory to be taught in schools. Can someone put light as why Punjab govt shy away from such decision. This is in light that there are many other states ( West Bengal(Bengali)l, Kerala(Malay am), Andra Pradesh(telgu) , Tamil Nadu (tamil)) etc which have made mandatory that all schools ( Govt, private,public,convent etc) have to thought their state languages in schools from class 1 to 10th.

If you see recent education levels, It is the people from south India & even Bengal who are doing excellent in IT, Banking & Business management studies. Their boys get best high paying jobs. They come abroad on high salaries. While our Punjabis kids went into drugs back home. Come illegally abroad. Do labour jobs here. Who is winning. The rulers of Kuam that do not respect own mother language, how can they make Punjab progress. If a Kuam do not respect its own mother language , how can education can give respect to such a kuam.

By the way , there is not point in blaming centre govt. Education is state subject. It have nothing to do with any centre govt powers. All powers are in Punjab. We get used to blame for every thing on centre govt. But on education we cannot blame centre. To whom we should pin point. Who is to blame. It is not question of sikh,hindu,muslim etc. Punjabi is regional common language that shows our culture. Why the MLAs in Punjab do not pass this rule. Which party is against Punjabi in Punjab. We need to understand, that. I was seeing yesterday night , “Concern” programme in “Channel Punjab” A retired Vice Chancellor of Punjabi university says, we are not able to make this decision due to political pressures in state. I wonder which political Punjabis was he talking about?

Students should learn international language like, English , even can learn Sanskrit , Hindi . That’s is fine. But a State Language should be must to value our culture. Can some one shed light as what stops MLAs in Punjab in not passing this simple rule in Punjab assembly

yeah good point.

if you ever talk to a young person in punjab, they never even heard of the Punjabi Suba movement. So may people, mostly sikhs, died after 1947 to make a Punjabi speaking state. Punjab was made after much sacrifice in 1966.

i heard Badal was talking about making it mandatory for gov't officials to speak punjabi in gov't offices....

peace.

    • Net pay after taxes. If you don't agree, think about this: If you were a trader and started off in China with silk that cost 100 rupees and came to India, and you had to pay total 800 rupees taxes at every small kingdom along the way, and then sold your goods for 1000 rupees, you'd have 100 rupees left, right? If your daswandh is on the gross, that's 100 rupees, meaning you have nothing left. Obviously, you owe only 10% of 100, not 10% of 1000. No, it's 10% before bills and other expenses. These expenses are not your expenses to earn money. They are consumption. If you are a business owner, you take out all expenses, including rent, shop electricity, cost of goods sold, advertising, and government taxes. Whatever is left is your profit and you owe 10% of that.  If you are an employee, you are also entitled to deduct the cost of earning money. That would be government taxes. Everything else is consumption.    
    • No, bro, it's simply not true that no one talks about Simran. Where did you hear that? Swingdon? The entire Sikh world talks about doing Simran, whether it's Maskeen ji, Giani Pinderpal Singh, Giani Kulwant Singh Jawaddi, or Sants. So what are you talking about? Agreed. Agreed. Well, if every bani were exactly the same, then why would Guru ji even write anything after writing Japji Sahib? We should all enjoy all the banis. No, Gurbani tells you to do Simran, but it's not just "the manual". Gurbani itself also has cleansing powers. I'm not saying not to do Simran. Do it. But Gurbani is not merely "the manual". Reading and singing Gurbani is spiritually helpful: ਪ੍ਰਭ ਬਾਣੀ ਸਬਦੁ ਸੁਭਾਖਿਆ ॥  ਗਾਵਹੁ ਸੁਣਹੁ ਪੜਹੁ ਨਿਤ ਭਾਈ ਗੁਰ ਪੂਰੈ ਤੂ ਰਾਖਿਆ ॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ The Lord's Bani and the words are the best utterances. Ever sing hear and recite them, O brother and the Perfect Guru shall save thee. Pause. p611 Here Guru ji shows the importance of both Bani and Naam: ਆਇਓ ਸੁਨਨ ਪੜਨ ਕਉ ਬਾਣੀ ॥ ਨਾਮੁ ਵਿਸਾਰਿ ਲਗਹਿ ਅਨ ਲਾਲਚਿ ਬਿਰਥਾ ਜਨਮੁ ਪਰਾਣੀ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ The mortal has come to hear and utter Bani. Forgetting the Name thou attached thyself to other desires. Vain is thy life, O mortal. Pause. p1219 Are there any house manuals that say to read and sing the house manual?
    • All of these are suppositions, bro. Linguists know that, generally, all the social classes of a physical area speak the same language, though some classes may use more advanced vocabulary. I'm talking about the syntax. That is, unless the King is an invader, which Porus was not. When you say Punjabi wasn't very evolved, what do you mean? The syntax must have been roughly the same. As for vocabulary, do you really think Punjabis at the time did nothing more than grunt to express their thoughts? That they had no shades of meaning? Such as hot/cold, red/yellow/blue, angry/sweet/loving/sad, etc? Why must we always have an inferiority complex?
    • I still think about that incident now and then, just haven't heard any developments regarding what happened, just like so many other things that have happened in Panjab!
    • There was a young Singh from abroad who went to Anandpur Sahib Hola and got into a fight with some Punjabis who were playing loud non-religious music. He had bana and a weapon or two. There were more of them than him.  He ended up losing his life. Don't be like that. Not worth it to fight manmukhs. @californiasardar1 ਮੂਰਖੈ ਨਾਲਿ ਨ ਲੁਝੀਐ ॥੧੯॥ Argue not with a fool. p473
