Punjabi 'cowboys' on road to nowhere

KHUSHWANT AHLUWALIA

GHUKROWAL/NASRAN BADHANA (Hoshiarpur): The Generation Next of Punjab is on a roller-coaster to disaster, but the government does not seem to be paying heed to this "bomb" ticking away in the countryside. Take the case of Sucha Singh. This Jat Sikh farmer who owns two acres of land is a worried about the future of his son. The boy is a class VI dropout who got hooked on to drugs. Now, he just helps his father by doing sundry chores.

Karamjit (18) is from a Dalit family. He dropped out of school after tenth. In between feeding the animals for an an hour in the morning and evening, he finds time only for sleeping or chatting with his friends.

During the campaigning for Lok Sabha elections, a Jat from Miani village remarked "Sirf ik din Amrika (America)..England (UK).. te Caneda (Canada) da visa khol diyo te Punjab diyan Sadkan sunniyan ho jangiyan" (Let these three countries freely give visas for one day and Punjab's streets will be deserted). This statement is a reflection of the growing unemployment in Punjab.

Jas

karan Singh of Ghukrowal village is 21 years old. He quit studies after class 12. He thought he would become a tube-well operator like his father but the government ban on recruitment put paid to that hope. These days he is trying to go abroad. His father has given money to one of his relatives who has promised to send him to New Zealand. For the moment, Jaskaran is whiling away his time looking after his four acres of land, meeting friends or milking the cows.

Ditto for his cousins Sukhraj Singh and Gurvinder Singh of Ghukrowal village. They left studies after class 12 and class 10 as their family required money and help in a land dispute. Sukhraj, who is of robust built, says he tried to join the Army but a tout wanted Rs 30,000. He could not pay up as his family had spent Rs 6 lakh on a land dispute case.

Gurdip Singh (78), an ex-serviceman of Dariya village, says the government is not botered about the problem of unemployment.

"If free power is a demand of the farmers, being a father of three sons, employment for my children is my main concern." Gurdip complains that the new generation has lost interest in farm work: His sons rest while the migratory labour works in the fields.

With the Punjabi youth not knowing what to do, the vibrant Punjabi spirit is losing out to illiteracy, drugs, alcohol, idleness and lure of the West.

    • If relationship with Guru is strong, then kanga is done twice a day, and turban should never be taken off or put on like a hat, there is a lot wrong with that as it is against rehit! maryada is to take off every layer of turban/pagh/dumalla individually, and tie fresh turban each time!
    • the whole 'your husband/wife is chosen for you'/sanjog thing is real, it's just that a lot of people end up marrying the wrong person. they did not end up with the person that was meant for them. my friend, you should marry someone who you feel a connection with and love. there are millions of sikh girls, i'm sure you can find someone who aligns with your sensibilities and who you can truthfully say that you love. sikhi does not say anything against love marriages. you can also be in a loveless arranged marriage which is a safe option b/c both families are more inclined to keep the union intact. i was one of those people who was like meh, i guess i'll just get arranged to some sikh. well i finally started dating for the first time this year and i'm getting married to someone that i love and cannot even imagine leaving. i think it's better to have lost & lost than never loved at all. unfortunately, a lot of people confuse love w/ looks & lust. a lot of men go for the fittest girl they can find and think they won the jackpot or something. in reality, your partner should be like an extremely loved best friend. there's a reason why it's a fact that the most stable and long-lasting relationships started as friendships.  i also think a lot of women are petty and divorce over small reasons, but there's other terrible things like high cheating rates as well. that's why the divorce rate in the west is high. be careful out there.
    • andrew tate praises sikhi too & likes sikhs. his brother also donated to sikh families iirc. they just like any "alpha" religion and tbh islam is the most "alpha" in their eyes. islam is very good at promoting that image. but imo a real alpha man doesn't command respect by beating up his wive(s) or forcing them to wear a burqa. a real man will have his woman listen to him w/o raising a hand or his voice, and command respect by being respectful. he leads by example and integrity. that's true masculinity. you get the idea. + yes, it's definitely true that islam is growing rapidly and making massive inroads. strength in numbers + belief will do that. but rlly it's just because of the birth rate. a lot of them are muslim b/c it's their "identity" just like how a lot of young sikhs will say they're "culturally sikh" or whatever. there just aren't billions of sikhs who lambast their identity everywhere and have strict and linear rules like in islam. besides, the reality is that islam and its followers are some of the most morally bankrupt. you can see all the weird trans rules in iran, bacche baazi in afghanistan, visiting brothels, watching p*rn, p*dophilia what goes on behind the scenes in countries like uae & qatar, etc, and come to your conclusions. you can google all the stats yourself and see which countries do the most of these ^.   
    • stop associating with hinduism, that's the absolutely worst thing you can do as a sikh. not sure if you noticed but the entire world looks down upon and spits at india & hindus, literally no one respects them and considers them weak and cowardly. literally 1+ billion of them but not perceived as a strong religion commandeering respect. 
    • you wrote a whole lot but told us nothing. what exactly did you do wrong to make you feel this way?
