            I assume most subs on here live in western countries. Now I think we'd all agree , when I say Panjabis are the best looking ethnic group within India. But............Indians have terrible stereotypes in USA . From " Pooping Streets " , " Poo in Loo " , poverty infused images the west likes to show of India to the terrible accents they have . It's very difficult to date as an Indian. But none of those stereotypes apply to Panjabis, except the accent but that's fixable. So everytime i hear negatives about Indian men on social media and news about how creepy and ugly they are , I don't give it a second thought since I'm Panjabi. Panjabis don't fit that nerdy indian geek stereotype like Raj from Big Bang Theory or Apu from Simpsons. I mean , Indian is a nationality not an ethnicity , so If you live in USA and are a citizen, you're a Punjabi - American . I've also noticed in my last Punjab trip , that guys really take care of their physique and many of my cousins and their friends had those western hair styles and casual western clothing. I think, since Panjab is well off for the most part, people have the luxury to work on their bodies and fashion. So for a litany of reason Punjab>>India.

Iv been himachal Pradesh, people there were better looking on average. The girls there were very pretty. They also looked clean and like they had a wash.  The actual state itself was much cleaner looking than punjab, much less litter on the streets    people looked more cleaner too  but I think that's to do with the climate I'm himachal

HP is part of the land carved out of indo punjab after 1950 , they have similar ancestry to punjabi , their language Potohari is so similar to punjabi that I could understand them easily when I visited and studied there in 2016

True however the difference is Himachal Pradesis are happy to engage with Punjabis and do not have the aggressive nastiness of Haranvis towards Punjabis . They also have much love for the gurdwarey and sikhs , the only bad apples are the young twits listening to shiv sena..

Iv been to places like una, hamirpur 

They look similar to punjabis but on average are taller and have sharper features. Some of them looked like Kashmiris. I remember telling my cousin how good looking these people are and she said it's because they are pahari people and live in a colder climate.

Haryanvis look similar to punjabis but some are a little darker

Looks wise. I would say south indians look better. Not deep south but like maharashtra area.. They have pretty eyes.

Panjabis are mixed. We look like any mixed races. Like north africans, south americans, southeast asians.  As we r a mix. 

I dont think we should be like arabs. Who judge non arab muslims as beneath them. 

I do think we panjabis have invader blood whether arayan or mughals or turks who knows? But we should not side with the fathers side( invaders) and demean our mothers side( the indigenous) 

But otherwise you are right. We drove from panjab to Hazur sahib and then to patna sahib and then to hemkunt sahib. And yes,.panjab is the most prosperous. It is most agriculturalized. Its ppl dont look as starved or skinny. But himachel.pardesh was cleaner.

This is not the case at all. Punjabis, according to David Reich's study are pretty much homogenized when it comes to genetics, and we are all composed of the following genetic components: Steppe nomads (Aryans) + Iranian Neolithic farmers + Indigenous hunterers and gatherers. We do not have any Mughal/Turkic blood. None at all. 

Also, there's no such thing as our mother's side being indigineous. According to mtDNA (haplogroup passed on maternally) frequencies in Punjabis, almost 2/3 of us have our maternal heritage coming from West Eurasia. The whole concept of the male invader raping the female local is absurd. It was a collective mix. Think of it like an ancient United States, where people slowly mixed among each other.

    • I know a Rajput Uncle who is a councillor and he wears the regular panjabi pagh. I wouldn't know he is a rajput because coul easily fit into any panjabi sikh or jatt background. But I can tell from his surname.  However when I look at proper Rajputs they were warriors and kings with those kind of paghs, similar to wearing dumallas or shahi turbans, some looked like Nihang Singhs! And Rajput background sikhs were involved in shastarvidiya training with Guru Hargobind and Guru Gobind Singh, as well as becoming their sikhs.    A rajput background sikh has double responsibilities to maintain turban and also training shastar. I think a Nihang Singh type look is more suitable for a sikh from Rajput background than any patiala shahi or average panjabi pagh

    • what kinda pagh are you tying that is taking more than 5 minutes? Actually puraatan maryada is to sit cross legged and cover your feet, tying pagh sitting down. The standing up may hurt your head.  Turban is not a hatm, many shaheediyaa have been given for the cost of this turban. MAryada is to tie fresh each time, and also twice a day. I kanga my kes twice a day and do keski twice a daym sometimes do my pagh or dumalla the 2nd time as well if I am going out. Just sit down, put a mirror in front and there should be not stress on your neck.
    • I was at the Slough Singh Sabha gurdwara last week. I think he was a teen, a tall young Singh got a deep gash wound on his arm from gatka, somewhere near his wrist. He was already on the floor when I entered through the langar hall, but I am sure he did it to himself not through a gatka "battle". I am unsure which shastar he used. I checked and the shastars seemed lightweight for the children. I picked up the khanda and it was light, not like a real khanda. I really want to emphasise that we should not be promoting twirly sword dancing as a "sikh martial art". This young Singh was hurting and gasping - why are we teaching twirling swords around in a way that may hurt oneself?? Promote shastarvidiya savai raksha and other martial arts which are about causing damage to the enemy. Why are we teaching this style of twirly gatka that's detrimental/harmful to ourselves and our allies? A twirly sword might hurt an ally in a battle, and doesn't allow allied warriors good movement around the sword twirler. This also reminds me during the summer, they were teaching some move to kids where you do some spins with the feet and then do a backwards bhangra type jump. I wasn't sure if this was a martial art or bhangra being taught?! Also at another gurdwara in another city/town in the midlands, the year before at a kids sikh club a guest gatka teacher was teaching basics to little kids by making then practice making infinity symbols with the gatka sticks!!! If we are showing off something ineffective and also harmful to the practitioner and allied warriors, then it's nothing to be proud off! If we are going to show our puraatan shastars off, we need to do it in a respectable manner not in this archaic colonial gatka era! The teaching is just as embarrassing as the last 2 decades and I don't understand why we want to promote it as a sikh martial art, to the sangat and to outsiders? the injuries are just not worth it for learning this modern gatka!    "Preserve Shastar Vidiya any way you can."(Rattan Singh Bhangu, Siri Guru Panth Parkash, ed.

    • Bro, as stated above, you can do whatever you want. No one is snatching your starched turban, 2 weeks old, from your head. But what you want is for Guru's Singhs to call your turban in accordance with rehit. That's not going to happen. Also, why can't you simply tie your starched turban fresh every day? (Genuine question)
