The Bharat that our people died for doesn't even exist in the modern world, when India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh would be one country, and our people wouldn't lose most of their land from Hindus and Muslims.

in that case there would have been no sikh majority punjab. Partition was painful but at the end of day both communities got benefited from it;

Don't you think Punjab could have come from sanskrit? As in Pancha means 5, and Aaap means water.. So it makes PanchAap/Punjab.

no, punjab is not Sanskrit but Persian. This is common knowledge. Sanskrit word for water is aapaH. So if it was Sanskrit it would have been PunchaapaH not matching the Persian Punjaab

Personally I don't have a problem with the Persian language. All our Gurus learned this language and used Persian words extensively in Gurbani. Especially Guru Gobind Singh Jee.

but kaur ji, it has the same meaning from sanskrit, and of course the punjabi language is also from sanskrit/indo aryan and not the iranic/dardic side.

Punjabi before Guru Sahib was only in Shahmukhi, Punjabi isn't an Indo-Aryan language which may confuse people from it's location in the world. Also the massive amount of Islamic conquests bringing their Sharia from time to time made huge impacts to Hindi, (the word Hindu is a persian word, before these people were called Sindhu, then the Persians gave the word to the conquered people the same as thieves).

Before Gurmukhi, Punjabi was written in the Landa script which was almost the same as the Gurmukhi script. The Landa script or very similarly related scripts were used all over Punjab, Sindh, Jammu and Kashmir areas. The Gurus modified it and added LagaMatra. Only the Sufi Saints wrote in the arabic script. Gurmukhi is the indiginous script of Punjab. The Devnagri and the Arabic(Shahmukhi) scripts are both foreign scripts to Punjab and surrounding areas. Only the Sikh people have enough self respect to use the indigenous script of the land.

Punjab being a formation of two Persian words Punj and Aab is common knowledge that even school going infants in Punjab know. Yet you are arguing the opposite. If Punjab is a Sanskrit word then why arent you and everyone else calling it a weird word like PunchAapaah? why is Punjab pronounced exactly like the Persian Punj aab? Due to invasions and centuries of cultural exchanges, the persian language has had a huge impact on the Punjabi langauge much like English has many French loan words

 

Punjabi was never written in Devnagri. Where did you get this info from? Have you ever read a text book on the history of Punjabi or Gurmukhi? Read about the Language politics that occurred in UP/Avadh/Bihar areas between Hindus and Muslims in the 1800s. Devnagri was an ancient script used to write Sanskrit. It was only revived during the mid 1800s by Hindu nationalists who wanted to sanskritise Hindustani while the Muslims wanted to Persianise Hindustani langauge. This resulted in the distinct formations of Hindi and Urdu.  Due to the influence of Arya Samaj, the Punjabi Hindus also began advocating Devnagri and Hindi languages.Seeing this pro Devnagri and Hindi stance of Punjabi Hindus, Giani Dit Singh of the Singh Sabha also had written a book proving their pro Hindi and pro Devnagri arguments wrong. Himachal and Haryana have only adopted Devnagri scripts recently in the past few decades. In the case of Himachal for centuries they used their own Pahari script which was related to the Punjabi Landa script. Not sprirsingly since Pahari is basically a dialect of Punjabi itself. And Haryanvi language which is similarly related to Rajasthani never had any Devnagri script.

 

 

Your arguing with someone who believes Sikhi supports the idea of Hindu rituals, is it really worth arguing her?

    • 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?
