Punjab needs to industrialise as soon as possible. It cannot rely on just farming.

I'm not 100% sure about this, but I remember hearing somewhere that there were proposals about industries in Punjab several times, but the Indian government rejected them.

Our own lot have screwed them up majorly as well. Apparently some well established European car manufacturer wanted to open a plant in India. They came to one place down south, and to Panjab. The southerners sent suited and booted fellows, and apnay sent the 'kurtay pajamay wallay' (I presume these to be some SGPC functionaries). You can guess who got the contract........

Yeah but who's sending those kurtay pajamay wallay. Punjab government and Indian government hate us. Punjab has potential, but it's not being used. 

I have plenty of family in Punjab that are jatts and well educated, they're just not getting the jobs. My cousin and her dalit friend applied for a job and they had to do this test thingy, my cousin got a score wayy higher than her friend but her dalit friend got the job because she was a lower caste. Both my parents who are jatts spent years working hard getting their degrees but they couldn't find a well paying job. Same with some other family. Yeah you have some idiots (like some of my second cousins) that are obsessed with bhangra and that sh1t but that's because they're jobless. For me, recently it's always been that we've lacked in good leadership recently.

Look, if a 'dominant' group, with the largest vote bank can't place some decent leaders in position, who else can? Then those people that are on the throne i.e. Badal and co., who's voted them in again and again and again and again? It says a lot that this is the best we can muster......

And I don't believe these stories about 'well educated juts' not getting jobs because of 'low castes'. Sounds exactly like the crap l heard from whites in the UK decades ago.

"Oh, my daughter can't get a job as a journalist in the BBC because she isn't ethnic!! They're giving all the jobs to ethnic people! Wah! Wah! Wah!"

Then you find out that the BBC (and pretty much all other media outlets where majorly white dominated and still are.....    

I think a big part of the problem is some sense of unearned privilege and expectancy based on deeply entrenched caste identity (in a very similar way race or colour plays out in say the UK). I've NEVER heard any of my family whining like this back home. They just get on with it. And you can tell that they are genuinely talented, because a few of them get whipped up by foreign, prestigious universities/companies very quickly.  

Although I full on acknowledge the antipathy towards Sikhs from the Indian establishment, you seem to exclude the possibility that dumb political/economic decisions can come from our own? They seem to have been doing dumb shyte for a long while now (since the annexation). They have become so detached from the wider world out there, that they think it's not a biggy to send kurtay pajama wallay to business meetings with europeans.  

Yes Panjab has a lot of potential, but there is no regional aspiration or pride beyond caste level. The people lack imagination, and are prone to corruption and fissures. This doesn't bode well. It's a shame that Sikhi hasn't managed to unite everyone yet. 

I think in future conflict is pretty much inevitable in India, not only from internal fissures, but also as the result of external players like China and Pakistan. Might be new borders coming in? But as Sikhs, we need to be REAL careful about being on the receiving end of genocidal attacks right now.

And the natural threat from climate change to all farming economies (globally) is a big thing. The umpteen Agricultural Universities back home seem asleep on this too?

I agree a lot of 'jats' probably are complacent/lazy and have entitled attitude that expects jobs etc given to them. 

BUT, you are wrong  at least to some extent; they seriously have less chance of getting some jobs and degree places because of the 'Reservation' system in India - jats have even campaigned to be given this status to improve their prospects!  51% of jobs are reserved which excludes jatts

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reservation_in_India

 

States[edit]

In central-government funded higher education institutions, 22.5% of available seats are reserved for Scheduled Caste (SC) and Scheduled Tribe (ST) students (7.5% for STs, 15% for SCs,20% for ESC,12% for SCA,16% for SCB,22% for SCC,18% for SCD).[24] This reservation percentage has been raised to 49.5%[24] by including an additional 27% reservation for OBCs. This ratio is followed even in Parliament and all elections where a few constituencies are earmarked for those from certain communities (which will next rotate in 2026 per the Delimitation Commission).

Percentages of reservation for each state
State/UT SC ST OBC EWS and

Uttar Pradesh 21 2 27 10 60
Uttarakhand 18 3 13 10 44
West Bengal 22 6 17 10 55

The exact percentages vary from state to state:

  • In Tamil Nadu, OBC reservation is divided into 26.5% Backward Caste, 3.5 Backward Caste (M) and 20% Most Backward Caste and 10.5% sub quota for vanniyars, introduced by AIADMK in 2020,7% for DNT . SC quota has 3% sub-quota for Arunthatiyars, introduced by DMK in 2009.[26]
  • In Maharashtra in addition to the reservation for SC/ST/OBC, there is 2% for SBCs, 3% for Nomadic Tribes – NT-A (Vimukta jati), 2.5% for NT-B, 3.5% for NT-C (Dhangar), and 2% for NT-D (Vanjari).
  • In Northeast India, e.g. in Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Nagaland and Mizoram, reservation for ST in State Govt. jobs is 80% with only 20% unreserved. In the Central Universities of NEHU (Shillong) and Rajiv Gandhi University, 60% of seats are reserved for ST students.
  • In West Bengal, the OBC community is divided into OBC A & B.[27] In West Bengal there is no reservation on religious basis but some economically and educationally backward Muslim castes (basis surnames pertaining to different profession e.g. cobbler, weaver etc.) have been included along with their Hindu counterparts in the OBC list namely OBC A and OBC B, in both lists caste from both communities are there. But in higher educational institutes, till now there is no reservation for the OBC community but there is reservation in regard to admission in primary, secondary and higher secondary studies.[28][27]

A lot of states have put juts in OBC status. Even then, I don't think that will solve the problem. There are only so many government jobs available. What we really need is a change in attitude towards commerce and business in Panjab. We need people to create big, powerful private companies that offer mass employment. The tendency to corrupt everything doesn't help.

Punjabis are naturally well built/strong, so I am thinking factories for cars etc.

South India is full of IT/Computing and call centres, a lot to do with their higher education and English language skills. 

What type of companies are you thinking of?

There shouldn't be any limitations! Factories like you mention (like already in Ludhiana). But also, we shouldn't exclude the possibility of tech centres. Construction. Why can't we manufacture mobile phones there? Doesn't Tata have a plant there?

    • 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.
