And these people are the so called sikhs of today lol. But we were not always like this. Can you imagine our ancestors acting in such an undisciplined way? Now the image of a sikh is that of a low iq dancing drunkard. What a fall we have had. And people take pride in using vulgar language, singing nonsense punjabi songs, dancing like clowns and call it punjabi culture. 

Its a stigma attached to Punjabis for a long time. I mean my experience most Punjabi families are always inner fighting,  never get along fighting land money jealously pulling each others leg... then kids who grow up in that environment of toxicity end up 'rebelling'..marry outside community or end up doing wrong things . Gurudwares inner fights, street fighting, etc this is why may or heard most grow up wanting to move away from any Punjabi hotspot neighborhood. You want to live with gora area lol discipline and away from the negativity. 

Some traits are just inherited in Punjabis..

That's the thing we have to grasp though, in their own heads (and those cut of a similar cloth) they think they look really cool doing this..... 

You are right. They deffo think they look cool by acting in such a way. Seen videos of the wedding dances and the way these people behave ...... another point is that they are made viral by similar low iq people from our communities which makes them and even others think that doing this makes them look great and modern. I think if alot of us start shaming these people they most likely will not change but they will get the hint that the way they behave is not liked by a good fraction of people.

All things said and done, we need to overhaul Panajbi 'culture' and push it into more intelligent directions. 

Lets be realistic... Intellects are Chinese, Japanese etc Eastern Asians and Jews specifically jews ashkenazi (known as the smartest race) ...than you got Blacks not for intellects but sports dominate in sports, indians hindus are smart ofc but not for fighting and  Punjabis are do well in labor and creativity arts lol

Apne are always fighting . Like the amount of drama a typical punjabi family has.... Most punjabi families have a very bad environment. The kids grow up seeing how the people behave and they in turn become like them.

I know families for killed their own blood for jameen. Its got worse know over the years with open marriages affairs etc..

I love our culture and history is so rich and full of pain and you want to do something for the kaum..but realistically that era is gone now. You got to keep your distance and never fall for anything face value especially.

Lol I know someone in a distant family most likely killed a girl for marrying outside of sikhi. I dont know how I feel about it though.

    • Been so much nindya and attacking Shastarvidiya since the 2000s, however if we look at gatka now it's still mostly as poor and poorly taught as it was back then, still morris dancing moves and still behzti moves in BBC shows about sikhi and vaisakhi. If people were going to attack shastarvidiya, wouldn't have made sense to improve gatka instead and make it more effective? Additionally, the Nihang Singh presence has improved greatly now, and the cracks within the the SGPC and affiliated jatha jathebandis are showing more greatly as panth becomes more knowledgable with dasam bani and itihas day-by-day, so much gyaan which was lost within panjabi sikhs during colonial times. In the 2000s, the groups were able to talk down this bani and  gyaan by associating it with  RSS and hindus, brahminwaad etc. Not working so well now is it? However with gyaan it would be also good for us to try and preserve our martial arts and keertan vidiya as well! More and more crazy keertan videos are coming out from jatha members that are being made fun of and making sangat annoyed and upset, on tiktok and instagram reels.

Being from Punjab, almost every Sardaarji i know (amritdhari or not) sleeps/showers with their hair uncovered. I don't think Guru Sahib asked us to wear Dastar to sleep and I don't think it is in SRM.   The idea of "keski being worn to sleep" is cos in Bollywood films (Bachna Ae Haseeno) Sikh characters usually tie a gol parna when sleeping since the actor's usually Hindu. So they gotta cover his head somehow or he'd have cut hair. Same reason Diljit wore a pagg to bed in the El Sueno vid. Only time they didn't do that was in Gadar with Sunny Deol which just looked odd tbh   What in the world? What sikh or even a decent human would base their knowledge of their culture or religion on a movie industry, that too Bollywood?  Believe me, no sikh ever said, I must cover my head becasue an actor did so in a movie. I've been doing it all wrong, I must start covering mh head because the sikh in that movie did.  Just because every panjabi and sardaar you know, does something, also doesn't make it right..  Follow the guru. And if you have a medical condition, then exemptions can be made.  Just admit it, because of my medical condition, I am not able to follow this rehit. Why are you getting everyone else to drop to your level?
    • Wasn't Guru Arjan Dev's martyrdom on amd always commemorated on 6th June? How come it was 30th May?  Just like 6th June 84, where the likes of Terrorists like Indira Gandhi chose to attack Darbar Sahib where many many innocent Sikhs would suffer, as they went to commemorate Martyrdom of Maharaj. 
    • best thing is to follow the Sikh Rehat Maryada and use common sense for gray areas. Anything outside of that's irrelevant tbh that code is what Guru Gobind Singh Ji and the 5 Pyaare agreed on when creating Amrit in 1699
