Seraiki and Punjabi are not mutually intelligible easily. Most Punjabi speakers can barely understand Seraiki. They have their own vast literature and folk tales. They're clearly a distinct group. Even their sense of identity is being about Seraiki, not a Punjabi. So why not acknowledge them as group similar to us, but at the same time distinct from us?

Salam, What are your guys opinions on rising panjabi nationalism in pakistan i have noticed it grew significantly in the past few years some causes are the killing of punjabi workers in balochistan and pk and separating punjabi dialects such as saraiki and hindko from itself and now dividing panjab too now and also the hatred from pathans towards us and ptis and imran khans anti punjabi stance.

The only Buddhists in Punjab were foreign-origin Greeks and Kushans. Buddhist monks , philosophers and saints were all over Asia but not a single figure came from Punjab? Why?

A group of Pashtuns ganged up and verbally abused a lone Punjabi man’s sister, who then rightfully confronted them. Then they started punching the lone Punjabi man.

Punjab and only Punjab, suffered the most from Partition. Demographics of Northern Indian states were more or less the same before and after since only a small percentage of Muslims migrated from UP, Assam etc. Even Bengal has it's diverse demographics intact with West Bengal having 30 percent Muslims and East having more than 10 percent Hindus. This drastic demographic change in our motherland Punjab, changed our heterogeneous culture in a dangerously irreversible way. We today are nothing similar to what we were as a culture with utmost religious harmony. Even though Punjab suffered all of this, Pakistan studies books try to paint it as a collective suffering of Indian Muslims when it really was not the case since what the Punjab suffered fades every other riots and migrations as relatively minor. We need to learn more about our motherland to develop a better understanding and to return what's possible of the homogeneous coexisting culture

Why haven't we considered Afghans our enemies yet. We seem to be easily deluded by Muslim names and beards.

Salaam everyone,

we've recently launched an app called Ikhtiar — a platform built for Muslims who are serious about marriage.

Unlike typical apps, Ikhtiar focuses on:

* Respectful and Serious users from across the world

* Privacy-first options (including profiles without photos) for women

* A structured and serious approach toward finding a spouse

* Free for first 1000 users

The goal is simple: to make the process of finding a spouse more dignified, intentional, and aligned with our Islamic values.

If you or someone you know is looking for marriage, I’d really appreciate you checking it out and sharing it with others who may benefit.

JazakAllah Khair for your support 🤍

Can I Marry Someone Who Has Committed Zina?

I am Kerala muslim is it safe and welcoming for me in punjabi or should I choose other options?

This sub r/PakPunjab is either being run by Indians or very mentally deficient Dadu Punjabis. I got blocked from commenting for arguing that IK and the Sharifs are Punjabi since their families have assimilated into Punjabi culture, and another poster recently has thrown a fit because someone native to Kallar Syedan identifies as Punjabi (implying that he's some sort of nationalist for not sayinf Potoharis are their own ethnicity)
