obviously it is to tar all Kaurs with the gandigi of this 'actress'  God knows how many rapes are happening already but if it somehow becomes the case that our daughters and sisters are put at danger in daily life  then we need to shut it down

Look at this pathetic tweet from a rapistan paper. Hardliner? When hindus were protesting a bollywood film for depicting a hindu princess wit muslim king, did these guys use words like "hardliners" to describe em? Doubt it.

<banned word filter activated> these Bhramins. Biased. Sunny Leone too can drown in a pool of d*cks for going with that title.

From a cultural P.R. and optics perspective, as mentioned by OP, it's a positive thing a certain aspect of our culture is thriving not only in India but wherever in the world our people reside. One doesn't have to be an admirer or even a listener of such artistes and their music to understand the big-picture, objective, cultural aspects of getting our ideas, our ways, and our language "out there" in these times when the growing global mood and desire is moving currently in the direction of erasing those aspects of our nature and being that makes us different from each other even if those differences are perfectly just and unobjectionable.

To be fair, I struggle to listen to most of it, lmao. It's just basic level stuff designed to get people dancing or in some cases over-sentimental about an airbrushed past.

 

The appropriation of religious sentiment for cultural profiteering (pub, club today and dharmic geet tomorrow); intentional conflation of inimical cultural traits (misogyny, androcentrism, substance abuse and blind belligerence) with religious sentiments is beginning to tell on the kitsch Punjabi media. Punjabi singers are actually beginning to be questioned.

That was something I was tempted to add to yesterday's post, but I decided against it, lol. There's a certain responsibility on the part of these performers that comes with wanting to be the faces of a cultural movement (even if ultimately they are lining their own pockets despite their assertions to the contrary), and whether they like it or not, there's more than a hint of Sikh ethics and principles as a foundation of their appeal, especially since an element of the draw of their image is rooted in much of the valour and bravado afforded to our people that has been derived in part from our glorious and honourable religious history. I wonder how many of them are even cognisant of such issues.

they are cogniscant as far how they can convert the image into pounds, dollars and pence... they are wretched

Gurdas maan is the starting point of the tumbling of sikh values with his 'dil saaf hona chahida' then moving on to enticing the youths towards his Laadi Shah aamli boss , now he has the cheek to sing songs about Punjab's haal ...

He's exactly the person I've had in mind for a few years now when analysing certain aspects of this discussion.

Gurdas Maan started out as the Punjabi-Sikh Bob Dylan; his folk influenced lyrics (admittedly not entirely his own compositions) that broached frankly amazingly deep sentiments about life in general and our particular Punjabi mindset, eventually gave way to the kind of frothy nonsense that Malkit Singh has been churning out since day 1. The phrase, "artistic integrity" is one that's conspicuous by its absence in the lexicon of nearly all Punjabi artists and performers.

Ladi Shah's dargah holds langars where drugs are openly distributed, for free, in the name of seva. Other than Dhadrianwale or the missionaries, no one else has called them out.

The "artist" who kept it real and then sells out for the $$.

How many times has that been seen before

Yes, agreed. Propaganda. And she has no right to use Kaur in her name
