Yeah my mums been there because her nanke are from there and she said many of the men walk around wearing chadars and holding rifles in their hands. The women cover their faces with chunni. I don't think Punjab was that different couple of decades back

I see nothing wrong with men walking around in their chadars with rifles. It is much better than men with funky hairstyles who are glued to their cellphones.

Obviously. But I don't see that happening with our poor leadership who are too self-absorbed.

i agree theres nothing wrong with it and it looks much better than the gold sprayed spikey hair you see in punjab, but their mentality is really backwards. Haryana has one of the highest rates of violence against women and level of female feticide is even higher than Punjab.

You're in denial. Haryana is doing far better economically than Punjab. It is far more developed too. The politicians of Haryana are far less corrupt than Punjab and are actually working to better the lives of their people.

Here, look at the GDP of Indian states, Haryana is richer than Punjab:

It's only doing better because Panjab went through 84 . You lack common sense

What does something that happened 34 years ago that the people of Punjab have already forgotten and are instead too indulged in their menial riches/showoff and drug abuse have to do with the economy? 

The economy of Punjab is falling because our people are, and I have said it many times on here, not interested in any worthwhile pursuits. Farming? Nah we'll let that migrants do that. Education? Nah, we're going to Canada. Business? Nah, that's what Banias do. The only constant thing they pursue is selling off their lands for materialistic interests and drugs. There are no businesses being started and grown in Punjab by Punjabis themselves. No initiatives set up by the gov't to attract foreign investment. Even Canada, the beloved country of our people, did not invest into Punjab in their last trip to India. The gov't of Punjab simply could not secure Canadian investment that Haryana, Gujarat, Bangalore managed to do.

But then again what do I know? I'm the one lacking in common sense right, so please educate me.

Fact is 84 had huge ripples in the economy . Hell , young men in Panjab were getting picked up and killed at random all throughout the 90's , have you forgotten KPS Gill and his cronies ? The male population is Panjab was affected greatly and then the government started spreading drugs in the state , tell me why Haryana and Himachal don't have a serious drug problem ? Yes, Panjab today is mostly developed as I was surprised to see when I went back this January but there have been huge problems the directly affected the growth.

Listen, I know about all those events. But looking at the current state of Punjab in the last decade, they have had no upheaval. Their lagging economy is theirs to blame only. 

Look at the past decade of growth of economy in Punjab and Haryana and you will see how Haryana trumps Punjab. How? Because it diversified the sectors its investing into. It has opened up new markets for people to trade in. What has Punjab done? Still the same old sectors from half a century back being dragged on without any innovation. 

Why are drugs spreading to Punjab? Because Punjab is on the border. Haryana and Himachal Pradesh are not. There may be attempts to spread drugs into Punjab selectively, but then one has to ask, who is really to be blamed? The people offering the drugs, or our people accepting them? I can understand our community has been through a lot, but looking at how people have absolutely no recollection of it in present day Punjab and are too absorbed in meaningless pursuits, I don't think it would be right to use it as a reason to mask our people's current lack of achievement out of narrow mindedness rather than upheaval.
