Recommended Posts

the proposed flag of Punjab consisting of:

Orange, representing the Hindu color

Islamic green

The Khanda represents freedom, justice, tolerence and the defending of these values by sword.

The flag also depicts a war elephant symbolising Punjabs ancient battle history and a Lion representing the maharaja Ranjit singh

The Republic of Punjab, The Punjabi Republic, East Punjab, Independant Punjab Nation, Free Punjab, Sikh Nation, Khalistan

Can anybody who is good with graphics create a more detailed version of this flag using richer colors and a more detailed War elephant and Lion?

thank you

I would like a straight forward flag which is instantly recognisable and easy to draw ie when kids paint or draw one for school / home work. An orange or blue flag with a khanda in the middle with "Waheguru" written above it. I would ideally want the outline of Punjab state on it but I know it is quite awkward to sketch and turns out to look like something completely different when I have seen people sketch it LOL. The one proposed by RayJay is indeed magnificent with a real meaning but too complicated for realty - I think.

Seems like an African country lol.

I prefer just a Khanda like during Maharaja Ranjit Singh's Raaj. Most humane Raaj ever.

Ye I know, its because of the elephant. Thats why I wanted it re-drafted to be decorated like a war elephant and to be standing, kinda like the the lion on the spainish flag.

Thanks for the compliment, I'd like to think it is magnificent, as is the Punjab:)

...please see the flag of spain or mexico they are more compliicated i think, not to mention sri lanka or whelsh flag. I don't think its a complicated flag at all. Besides, the orange flag with the khanda is the flag of the Khalsa, or Dan Khalsa, this is the flag for a Punjabi Republic. A united, secular Punjab. I have started a Facebook page which explains the principles of The Republic of Punjab, over Khalistan. If you'd like to support the cause pls like or Share:

p.s. I also think if children wish to draw or represent the flag they can easily use the orange and green background with the khanda only. I'm sure this too would be instantly recognisable without the elephant or lion, I hope so anyway.

I prefer to have east and west Punjab independent unified as one nation.

...one step at a time my friend:)

I resent it. Why wouldn't you just use the Nishan Sahib?

Nishan Sahib is the Sikh Flag. The republic of Punjab is not Khalistan. Khalistan would be the current day Punjab in India wheras a Punjabi Republic would be the greater Punjab region of india.

Please see Facebook page which explains and like if you support this cause:

Although the Nishan Sahib is incorporated into the Republic flag it does not mean the same thing. A united, secular punjab is better than NO Punjab at all to wave the nishan Sahib for.

Khalistan is not likely to ever be created and even if it was it would not adhere to Sikh principles and would consist of only a small percentage of the land which rightfully belongs to us.

Never ever think of merging West Punjab into East Punjab. Punjabi Taliban is very active in West Punjab. A Lahore Chowk couldn't be named after Bhagat Singh (who was secular) because Islamists opposed it, few people that protested against this were attacked. I wouldn't want our East Punjab clubbed with these people.

Lets even say that West Punjab does go fully secular, liberal Muslim type, I still wouldn't go with them because you never know when Islamism hits their minds again and turns them into monsters kidnapping our women and waging Jihad (ala secular Iran/Afghanistan before 1979).

If West Punjabis ask for freedom like Sindhis and Balochis, I will support them though.

    • lol dal panth Panj told me explicitly not to associate with Vadhbhag Singh Sodhi followers!
    • We have lamp (or Jyot) the pure unscented candle for a reason. Traditionally, Patis used candle light (jyot), so they could read SGGS in darkness. Light, elec didn't exist. Dhoop is used to attract the "Good spirits" but also keep freshness where Maharaj will be.  Interestingly and coincidentally I heard Sakhi a few dsys ago. During Dasa Pitha's time these souls were roaming the Earth and even Sangat noticed. Maharaj asked them "y u here?" They replied during recitation of SGGS and making Degh they didn't bother lighting candle. THAT WAS THEE ONLY REASON NO GATI WAS GIVEN TO THEM!!!  AUTHENTICITY NOT CHECKED I heard once on YT like 2 days ago.  If u apply dhoop in one room of your house twice a week u will notice a difference esp in the smell and freshness of that room. 
    • Sangat ji, With the hot weather as per Guru's Hukm, how can we look after our kes?  First of all the beard! Working in Construction, factory and any other heated environment I UNDERSTAND! At my workplace it's over 32 degree celcius and sometimes we have to lift 20kg ALL! DAY! My tips, regularly shampoo the beard during ishnan. APPLY OIL! The technique of applying oil is by rubbing it thoroughly in the roots. Pay attention to the noise esp on the chin. You will hear this "crosh crosh" noise. Keep rubbing oil until u can't hear it no more! This means the oil has blended in properly.  Second tip on beard, keep an extra kanga in your pocket. Every two, three hours give your beard a proper comb down to get rid of any sweat or stickiness. SECOND BENEFIT! Do this all 12 months every single day your beard will look like it's been professionally groomed. TRY IT! People will ask you "What gel u use? How can yer beard be naturally like that?" You can say all I use is coconut oil or whaeva oil but just comb the beard every 2-3 hours for a minute.  As for the kes, morning time get rid of all the gronjra (or knots - forgotten English word), in the morning. However, during evening comb down make sure you get rid of small remaining gronjra and comb yer hair nice and straight. You will feel soooo so relaxed. Yes our hair will go unnoticed due to Dastar, but our hair demands time and self grooming!So proper combing down, spending a good 15-20 mins most evenings is an absolute MUST!  Most evenings I let my hair down and cover hair with my parna for 2-3 hours so it gets to relax from the tying up.  FINAL TIP! We are Sikhs so we keep fighting and remember this! The tradition of Dastar and uncut hair started in India, where the weather is twice as hot. Everytime we bring this thought in the mind, Guru ji will bless us and make us feel cooled down by a notch.  Fateh.       
    • Been so much nindya and attacking Shastarvidiya since the 2000s, however if we look at gatka now it's still mostly as poor and poorly taught as it was back then, still morris dancing moves and still behzti moves in BBC shows about sikhi and vaisakhi. If people were going to attack shastarvidiya, wouldn't have made sense to improve gatka instead and make it more effective? Additionally, the Nihang Singh presence has improved greatly now, and the cracks within the the SGPC and affiliated jatha jathebandis are showing more greatly as panth becomes more knowledgable with dasam bani and itihas day-by-day, so much gyaan which was lost within panjabi sikhs during colonial times. In the 2000s, the groups were able to talk down this bani and  gyaan by associating it with  RSS and hindus, brahminwaad etc. Not working so well now is it? However with gyaan it would be also good for us to try and preserve our martial arts and keertan vidiya as well! More and more crazy keertan videos are coming out from jatha members that are being made fun of and making sangat annoyed and upset, on tiktok and instagram reels.

Being from Punjab, almost every Sardaarji i know (amritdhari or not) sleeps/showers with their hair uncovered. I don't think Guru Sahib asked us to wear Dastar to sleep and I don't think it is in SRM.   The idea of "keski being worn to sleep" is cos in Bollywood films (Bachna Ae Haseeno) Sikh characters usually tie a gol parna when sleeping since the actor's usually Hindu. So they gotta cover his head somehow or he'd have cut hair. Same reason Diljit wore a pagg to bed in the El Sueno vid. Only time they didn't do that was in Gadar with Sunny Deol which just looked odd tbh   What in the world? What sikh or even a decent human would base their knowledge of their culture or religion on a movie industry, that too Bollywood?  Believe me, no sikh ever said, I must cover my head becasue an actor did so in a movie. I've been doing it all wrong, I must start covering mh head because the sikh in that movie did.  Just because every panjabi and sardaar you know, does something, also doesn't make it right..  Follow the guru. And if you have a medical condition, then exemptions can be made.  Just admit it, because of my medical condition, I am not able to follow this rehit. Why are you getting everyone else to drop to your level?
