    A Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Project in Multan

    Multan is less dense perhaps that is the reason. Gujranwala and Multan have almost same population but area wise multan is twice the size of gujranwala.

    The Jats of Sindh

    The word Gachna in pothohari/pahari is a clear adopt from kashur/kashmiri language word "Gachav" for "to go". It could be that word "Achna" might also be from kashur language but I have no evidence for that. But "Gachav" is definitely kashmiri/kashur language word.

    The Jats of Sindh

    I have problem to make sense of the word "datheya" in this sentence , it is saraiki form of punjabi word "tatheya" which means "fall down" or "brought down" especially used in wrestling terminology. So the translation would be " I was badly brought down" or "I had badly fallen down". Daada...

    The Jats of Sindh

    This word kharna to "take with" is also used commonly in gujranwala, I think in lahore they use more "Le ke jana" but in gujranwala we use both forms "Le ke jana" and "Kharna" for the english word "to take with". Saraiki does not have any patent over words like "ghinana" or "wanjna" eventhough...

    Is there a possibility of a south asian union?

    Yes it is weak as far as social integration is concerned, I have a feeling that punjab, kpk, AJK, gilgti-baltistan are well integrated to each other but sindh and balochistan are living in their own segregated world, we need to develop people to people contacts between northern and southern...

    Is there a possibility of a south asian union?

    Before any south asian union, we should focus on better union of punjab, sindh, kpk, balochista, AJK and Gilgit-Baltistan. Have we already achieved it?

    I didn't go to khoti school, usually we used to call government primary school with very very bad infrastructure as khoti school. If a government primary school was in good shape it was never called khoti school. I changed many private schools during primary education but they were all urdu...

    The Jats of Sindh

    I have recently remembered that many nai barbers in gujranwala also call themselves "raja", I always thought perhaps it is cool to call nai barbers "raja" , I did't now about raja = rajput in those days as indigenous rajputs of gujranwala use "rana" instead of "raja" as title.

    Yes we use a lot of such slang in our everyday speech. One of our teachers probably of "zaraat" (agriculture) subject used to advise us in our school "Parr lao putro , oh waqt hun door nahi jadon koi mistrian naal mazdoori labhan vi jae ga na tey agleyan puchhna ay matric keeta ee oye" :rofl:
