The people who emigrate from Panjab today do not remotely, look, act or think like the older original immigrants that I remember. 

I These advertisements are everywhere, on shops, polls, news channels, radios.

They're visually and mentally disturbing. I visited a few years back, when people discover you're from overseas, they ask you for immigration advice and make you to talk in English so they can perfect their own English!  I won't be surprised if children forget their 'oora-aira' because English is becoming so ingrained.

From what aunties say, recently immigrated girls dress worse than those raised here (who are still somewhat modest). 

Where is 'here' to you? Australia? 

The ones in the UK don't dress immodestly, but I can sense they have serious double lives going on.

The very young ones who come without family/partner aren't the best. They think coming abroad gives them a free pass on everything, including cheating (e.g. abandoning partners). There have been cases of suicide due to this. 

You know what, many if not most of the young, financially successful guys from back home I've met here, seem to have strong sociopathic or NPD traits. They seem to all be inherently dishonest to a fault. Compulsive lying seems to be a norm. I can actually understand why females who aren't like this would run away at the first opportunity. 

Also, as (I think you?) posted previously. There are often big intelligence/intellectual differences between some rural Panjabi males and females, which we can tell by how often the females have to do certain courses to immigrate, that the bloke is too thick to do. That must be torturous.

I posted about the mass-exodus and the issues it brings. One of them is rural (and urban) boys who have the money just make the girls do the exam, sometimes they get abandoned because the girl usually goes alone. There have been cases of these guys resorting to suicide because the girls abroad didn't respond to their texts.

On another forum a canuck brother was saying that lots of middle eastern refugee women who'd settled in the Toronto area with their families were leaving them and running off to BC at the first opportunity.    

I think maybe when we come from quite a controlling society, and then suddenly get thrown into a greater level of freedom, people firstly go mental, and run a mile away from their previous societal structure. You have to teach people to sit inside freedom when they aren't used to it - or they will be like a poor, starved kid let loose in a candy shop.

Personally, I don't think Panjab is a controlling society (compared to the middle east). I was quite shocked last time I went, its becoming increasingly liberal due to immigration.

Barely any young man wears traditional clothing (both rural & urban) and women are adopting western clothing (in cities/towns). Almost everyone in villages has access to smartphones, social media and the internet.

I think generationally, we have experienced two different things in terms of Panjabi culture. All I ever heard from hordes of females growing up was complaints about being controlled. But then maybe them being 'special needs' <cough, cough> played a big part in this and such people can't tell their ar5e from their elbow?

I can see things aren't like what they used to be now too. 

Plus, I think we shouldn't really idealise our society. I think Charitrio Pakyaan written over 300 years ago, clearly shows us that 'scandalous' behaviour, is no new phenomena.

    • So I wrote this thread out a few years ago, And Im going through the same same thing again, In the end I did email her it was an embarassing mess. This is how it started 5 years a go, I had a dream about her and when I woke up the first thing I said was Waheguru, I didnt feel right in my heart or my head, felt like there was somehing pulling me or not letting me sit still. Then I had another 4 dreams one day after the next. After a while I did email her, it was embaressing, a complete mess, I cant describe to you how bad it was.  I didnt tell her about the dreams it sounded weird like I was losing my mind, tbh it probably still came across like that.   In the end I knew something was not right with me, And I got up and went to India, to matha tekh at the Gurudwara, I went to see Mahapuhrsh[SP]. I showed them a photo of her, and to keep it simple they told me she didnt have a good heart. But when I saw them it felt like a huge weight was being lifted off me.  It took me about 2 years to sort of get myself back to how I was. At the time I was under a lot of pressure because I was buying a business and I had 30 day completion, and I was really stressed out, I think I had or was on the verge of a mental breakdown. Anyway time passed and then last year my dad died, he was 59 and just went instantly, spent the day with him at work, and he went home my mum was getting him food and by the time she went to tell him his food was ready he had passed away. I have found coming to terms with this very hard, I feel like he was stolen away from us. I dont understand what need there was for him to go. I know he was fed up, the world had drunk enough of his blood.  Anyway way last Friday I woke up again after having a dream about her, And again I been typing out emails, Ive deleted them because I dont want to do another round of doing my besthi. I am buying a house at the moment so I can move mum closer to me as I need to take care of her now. I am feeling the pressure, Im the only man left in my family now. I feel like its all on me, and Im going to &lt;banned word filter activated&gt; up everything my dad made. Basically I think somone has done something to me. I know I probably sound like Im losing my mind, and I probably am. But Im closer to the end than I am to the beginning, there not enough time left to keep making mistakes and recovering from them. I keep saying to God just tell me what you want and Ill give it to you, what ever it is I dont mind, what ever you want I will happily give to you. cant believe he wants me to commit a sin, or do something I know I shouldnt be doing.
    • So we find out who killed Hardeep Singh Nijjar. What we are going to do about it?  Me personally I try to avoid the whole Khalistan fiasco since religion and politics get mixed. That's a messy situation to be in. 
    • *bump I firmly believe that one quote in regards to cannabis is not written by Guru Nanak Dev Ji (O'lord the fear of thee). B/c nasha is nasha. But cannabis is a bit a different since it was used for medicinal purposes in India also. 
    • I feel gurdwaras are maybe somewhat getting back to their functions as dharmsalas containing schools and learning centres. With panjabi schools, gurmat classes, santhiya, martial arts, keertan training, with sikhi camps occasionally in towns, there is somewhat some functions connected to traditional gurdwaras of the past.
