not sure if it happens in other areas but in doaba you get moneh laughing at singhs  like openly saying jokes  im from nawanshar and they do that there.  thats how low sikhi has fallen there    they sarcastically call you baba ji and start laughing.   i was gnna go to this local jaggah with my cousin and his 2 chamar friends hopped on to go with us  my couins keeps his hair  and those 2 guys started laughing and cracking jokes about my cousins gutti   he then called them saleh musalman       i was just shocked tbh 

but iv noticed this a lot over there.

I heard some keshdhari mates saying the same about younguns in Canada but that was twenty years ago. Maybe things have changed there since?

Not sure about Malwa. A lot of the parents generation has kesh/dastaar but they still do 'sardar' things like whiskey. Their kids are mona though. I don't think anyone would mock kesh like that myself. Naah, that wouldn't happen as far as I can tell. I've never heard this.

Okay, that makes sense. I think that I take Sikh hegemony for granted given where my family originate from. I think partition also bolstered Sikh numbers in Malwa. A lot of people seem to have come from across the border there too - especially Lahore. Plus them Lahore lot are quite intellectual, so that helps too.

lol  see it makes sense y sikhi is dead/dying in doaba     and the people who ticked the sikh box     from them only a minority are amritdhari/kesdhari     

seeing a young singh is actually not common at all in nawanshahr/doaba 

[puzzled]

have to give doabis (mainly doabi sikhs) credit   for driving out all the muslims that made over 70% of doabas population pre partition    lol   i mean thats one gd thing lol!
