I remember watching a Hindi movie not too long ago called OMG - Oh My God! staring Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal. Although it was a funny movie, but thinking more deeply I thought they pretty much made a mockery of Hinduism, Hindu way of worshiping, especially trying to ridicule the Mandhir and...
bollywood movies have been the worse for the Sikh community. These racist movies always portrays Sikhs as clowns and unable to speak a sentence of proper Hindi
Yeah, you will find nearly all the clans in east Punjab are there in west Punjab as well since both Sikh and Muslim Jats lived in the same village with the same clans.
Are the Jats of Sindh agriculturalists/farmers like the Punjabi and Haryanvi Jats?
Sindh is the original homeland of the Jats and from there Jats spread all over. Jats were not atheists. The original religion of the Jats was Jathera which was a form of ancestor worship.
True. But these soldiers were given a lot of benefits too like being given agricultural land, pensions. The ones who became officers were treated with much respect, there children received free education besides other benefits.
Right after independence, there were some people saying that reorganization of states should be as east Punjab and northern Haryana should be created as Punjabi speaking state while the Jat Hindi speaking areas of Haryana and western UP(Harit Pradesh) should be merged for a big powerful Jat...
About he "Kachay Musalman", they were probably just Muslim in name. Just as there were Kachay Musalman so the same was true for the Sikhs and Hindus who were not strict followers. For example in central Punjab, many Sikh and Hindu peasantry, especially the Jats were followers of Sufi Peer Sakhi...

You know the strange thing is, among the Sikhs, the Khatris of Pothohar got it the worst. Then after partition most of these Pothohari Khatri Sikhs moved to Delhi. And in 1984, it was again they who suffered the most during the riots after Indira Gandhi died instead of Sikhs in Punjab. Talk...
When ever any type of religious riots happen anywhere in India Hindu, Muslim, Christian and Sikh religious leaders should all come together and promote friendship and end this madness. That is the only solution.
I have seen many Gujjars from J&K in Punjab. They look and dress like Pathans. And since their main profession is being milkmen, they drink a lot of milk since childhood which makes them tall and strong as compared to the other Kashmiris from what I have seen.
Punjab has both extremist Hindus and Sikhs. Even the small Muslim minority in Malerkotla is extremist. I think it's something to do with the water in Punjab that makes people extremists lol
Multani, please stop spreading lies. Sikhs don't say they killed 100,000 Pashtuns. Even though they were our enemies, but Pathans/Afghans were always respected as a brave and honourable foe.
