Re: Punjabi Societyreally, where? im from jhelum city, my mums side of the family come from amritsar(Original post by KaurPrincess)
it was originally an optimistic battle cry/shout of victory (not sure how else to phrase it concisely!)
it basically means 'whoever says the following will be happy: true/eternal is the great/timeless lord (god)'
or something to that effect
you can read a loger and better explanation on wikipedia and sikhiwiki
btw where from pakistan are you from?
cos my grandparents were born there!
but i dont know where exactly.

Re: Punjabi Societyapparently militant sikhs dont like opinions(Original post by kimprovising)
Thanks for the neg rep
I'm glad that I get negged for voicing my religious opinions.
ALSO, fyi I was also raised a Sikh, so why would I bash my own religion?

Re: Punjabi Society
(i'm terrible at arguing my opinion online, but about the drinking thing...)
i agree that it doesn't necessarily make you a better person if you don't drink, but it does usually have a negative effect on the person's mind...
a sikh should always be alert and in control of themself
i guess it is more of an issue if a baptised sikh is drinking, but it seems a bit unfaithful for even an unbaptised sikh to drink, doesn't it? -

Re: Punjabi SocietyAgreed, being from a Punjabi background does not mean you are neccesarily religious, and I think it is unfair highjacking this thread just to voice your religious views. If anything we should be discussing the various cultures in Punjab: dance, food, drink, rituals and anything else that comes to mind(Original post by Lehmber Hussainpuri)

Re: Punjabi Society
Who says anyone was hijacking a thread?
Being Punjabi USUALLY means that culture and religion plays a part in your life, whether you are religious or not. India itself is a cultural place, alot of its traditions, dance, food , drink and rituals are influenced by religion/culture.
Its not that far-fetched that RELIGION, NAMELY SIKHISM WHICH ORIGINATED FROM PUNJAB, should be mentioned.
Also, there's nothing wrong with having a bit of interesting and contrasting conversation here tbh. If you're getting offended by anything said here so far, you should possibly open your mind up a little.
Anyway yeah, I had a samosa earlier today, it was well nice.Last edited by kimprovising; 12-01-2012 at 20:01. -
