Shiv Kumar Batalvi wrote a poem about Guru Gobind Singh ji titled "aarti"          he was a great man and did a lot of seva for Punjabi language during the time when the government was fast at work trying to replace Punjabi with Hindi and when Punjabi was seen as a ugly rural language he wrote some beautiful Punjabi poems.

If people had been more aware of what had been written in Panjabi, others would never had been able to make such claims. 

It's our own people's laziness towards being well read, like most civilised people are (something that was pushed hard by dasmesh pita himself too), that gives people the opportunity to make disparaging comments like this.

I blame Punjabis themselves from poetry like the one i posted above to lakh 28, seeti maar ke and other bakwaas. i mean how lower can you fall.   Punjabi singers have turned punjabi language into some balle balle shava shava clown language. 

Punjabi used to be considered a poetic language thats why so many poets used it to write poetry, even as early as the 10th century many nath poets were using Punajbi to write devotional poems.

I tell you what. When I work I hear so many languages around me. I have to say, the way many pendus speak Panjabi with a heavy nasalised tone, which was nothing like the Panjabi I heard growing up, is really grating on the ears. lol

You'd have only the odd person speaking in that heavily nasalised form when I was younger. Don't know what happened?

Nothing to do with hating. Any society that is going to progress needs to evolve in certain respects. Unnecessarily butchering a beautiful language, that IS NOT simplistic or unsophisticated only reinforces the whole Panjabi as a backwards, pendu, simple-minded language and culture. 

A lot of pendus DO need to refine how they speak Panjabi - and especially increase their vocabulary. The general pendu apathy towards reading is a big problem. And don't talk like you know something about this. I work around apnay pendus probably more than any of you.

Are you denying this is a problem?

I'm no fan of Babbu Maan, but he nailed it when he said: 

"In the pend, the one guy who is actually educated is considered to be some sort of fool."

Again, I'm shocked at how the language has changed since my parents and grandparents time. They never spoke like that? The odd fellows that did (andthe number was small and they were noticeable), would draw restrained smirks from people. Maybe that generation was different for some reason? You couldn't get more difference between the desis of today and those I personally saw and grew up around a generation or two back.

He is what Pendus call a pariaa moorakh.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
