There are a lot of differences between Punjab, India and Punjab, Pakistan. in 1947 India and Pakistan got separated. Punjab was one big state before separation. Punjab was divided between India and Pakistan after the separation. 5 rivers flow through Punjab. The Punjab area of Pakistan does have all rivers due to its geographical location. This makes the land of Punjab very fertile and it has maximum contribute in the GDP of Pakistan. Indian Punjab does have 3 rivers Sutluj, Beas, Ravi.
Radcliffe is the borderline between India and Pakistan. Sir Cyril Radcliffe did the separation of India and Pakistan so this name is in his owner. Separation was done on a census which was outdated. There were mammoth and riots all over India at the time of separation. But in Punjab, this was worse than hell.
Separation was done because some Muslim demanded a separate country from them. In the land separation, India was given Gurdaspur – a Muslim majority district and Pakistan was given Lahore. Lahore was a Hindu majority district. Pakistan rule was very clear that Only Muslim stays in Pakistan. So in between the riots and mammoth Pakistani Hindu had to come to India or they were being targeted. Lakhs of people died in the riots and a Million people were migrated from both the sides. There are already many movies and books that describe the pain of migration, so I won’t go into that
The Difference between Indian and Pakistani Punjab?
Language:
Pakistani Punjabi has its differences from Indian Punjabi. Even if both languages are named same they are written completely different.
Indian Punjabi
Indian Punjabi is written in Gurmukhi Script. Gurmukhi means the words “from the mouth of the Guru”. It is written left to right Like another Indian language. Sri Guru Grant Sahib is also written in Gurmukhi Script. Gurumukhi script has a lot of influence on Indian languages. This is the reason why North Indians can easily understand the Punjabi language.
Pakistani Punjabi
Pakistani Punjabi is different from Indian Punjabi in writing. Pakistani Punjabi is written right to left. The script of Pakistani Punjab is Arabic. Pakistani Punjabi has a lot of influence of Islam nations and local Islamic religion. Pakistani Punjabi also has a lot of dialects like other languages of the India and World.
These dialects can be found even in languages of Ludhiana and Amritsar. In the cities, people use a very sweet Punjabi accent. It often even sounds like Hindi, But, it is not Punjabi nor Hindi. Pure Punjabi is very hard language to understand and to speak too. Usually, people from villages are able to speak who have not forgotten the touch of pure Punjabi
Religion
Indian Punjab has a diversity of religion. Punjabi has widely spoken the language in Punjab. Almost every person can speak in Punjabi and understand it. Mostly all people communicate in Punjabi. Muslims and Christians do live in Punjab and they amazingly speak Punjabi as others. Bhatinda, Pathankot, Gurdaspur, Firozpur are the Muslim majority places in the Indian Punjab.
Pakistani Punjab is different to Indian Punjab in the diversity of religion. In Pakistani Punjab Muslim are major, Hindu and Sikh are also present. It is not easy for other than Muslim to live in Pakistan. Pakistan is a Muslim country, but it does not have the largest number of Muslim in its county, Indonesia has the largest Muslim population in the world.
