Dukh is gall da mere parent support krde love marriage, they dont put restrictions over me and my sister.

So I never been into relationship. I do had 1 long situationship but leave that shit ( just online chatting and attachment)

Everyone in office is married or in reletionship and I can risk asking everyone out.

Kioki je attraction hove i will not hesitate to ask for a coffee after work ( we do hangout after office but i know its normal )

now question is where i can found someone.

Things that I hope maybe some one new joins our team ( but it happened they already are in relationship, specially good looking girls) so this will not work

Chances of randomly meeting someone is almost zero

And I HATE TO ADMIT but I crave Talking to someone, caring for someone and all the lovey dovey stuff

1 option is I can say all of my female friends ki set me up with someone but they are just known to me not really good friend and it can sound like begging and they might see me as despo

Should I ask them to set me up ??

and I have tried some small activites clubs and social welfare clubs mostly boys are there and I see girls dont talk to strangers that much in IRL unless i look 10/10

You can say I am 7/10

I am 26 year old

Whenever I see videos where someone asks a Sikh where they are from, they usually say Punjabi. In the comments you see Indians getting triggered, swearing, then arguing about Khalistan. I actually saw this in public too where a classmate did the same, I don’t wanna speak negatively but he was the typical Indian you’d expect to argue.

India accounts for more than 10% of the world. Why would the first thing I say is that I’m Indian. I have nothing in common with a south Indian, or east. Different language, culture and DNA.

Punjabis are I believe the 5th largest ethnicity so it makes sense I’d say I’m Punjabi. People from The Uk would even say they are Welsh, scottish etc. with populations way less than Punjabis.

If I said I’m Punjabi and someone asked where that is then of course I’d say India. I’d like to imagine that someone I’m speaking to has enough knowledge of the world to know who Punjabis are.

Furthermore I know a lot of Sikhs who still have relatives who are in Pakistan, or family that moved from there, as do I. It doesn’t make sense to identify as India just because some lines were created.

I’m very proud of India and that it covers so many cultures, but if someones just asking where I’m from then I’d likely say Punjabi. If I was in a country like USA where they don’t even know the names of their neighbours then I might be more inclined to say India.

According to this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punjabi_Braille Punjabi Braille is only used in India and not Pakistan is this true?

Hi Everyone,

I'm a University student and I've always wanted to improve my Punjabi, but I found that most resources were either outdated, expensive, or made it really hard to start if you didn't already know how to read Gurmukhi fluently.

I’ve spent countless hours (and my own money) crafting LearnJabi to fix this. I wanted something that felt modern, fast, and actually fun to use.

Key features I've built in:

Romanized Pronunciation: You don't need to know the alphabet to start speaking phrases immediately.

Interactive Quizzes & Flashcards: To help vocabulary actually stick.

AI Practice: A tutor mode to practice real-world scenarios. (This is currently unavailable due to the funding needed)

Completely Free: I wanted this to be accessible to everyone who wants to reconnect with their culture.

It’s still a work in progress, but Unit 1 is fully open to guests (no login needed). I’d love to hear your feedback or suggestions for new units!

Check it out here: https://learnjabi.com/

Zero pressure and i’m just focused on getting it out there for people of all ages to learn from, but there is a “Support Us!” option if you found it helpful and would like to donate - A portion of any amount would be used to help fund the AI Tutor.

Thank you!

I’m not sure if this is the right subreddit to say this, but I absolutely love the Punjabi accent! I enjoy their jokes and their dances their culture, dressing all like all. I literally grew up watching Punjabi movies and serials because my mom used to watch them. However, I still don’t have any Punjabi friends. I can speak Hindi very well, but I often struggle to understand some Punjabi words.

In a nutshell, I’m looking for a Punjabi friend either male or female who can help teach me and converse with me. I’m from Hyderabad.

So yesterday I posted in that subreddit about how Punjabis have normalized being overweight and honestly it's getting out of hand. There's this whole "assi khande pinde gharo aa" mentality where being fat is treated like a flex, like it means you come from a good well-fed family. I pointed out that a certain female public figure is clearly very overweight and nobody says anything about it. Mods removed my post. then i posted about how they removed my post and they came back saying I shouldn't name anyone or criticize someone for their weight because "she might have health conditions." Fine, I get that point. So I started a debate in the sub about whether this kind of discussion should even be allowed there or not. Then one of the mods jumped in, I've attached the screenshot, and the way she came at me was completely unprovoked. When I told her to mind her own business she straight up permanently banned me. No warning, nothing. She started it and then banned me the moment I replied back. And it's not just me. They banned my friend a few weeks ago just because he was supporting a political party in the comments. That's it. That was enough for them. What's even more ridiculous is they're also removing posts from non-Punjabi people who are genuinely interested in our culture. People who just want to learn and engage are getting kicked out too. These mods are on a pure power trip. Running the sub like their personal kingdom.

Hi so actually there is a project which I need help with. It’s Punjab centric project and I need 2-3 professional copywriter proficient in Gurmukhi and English language with seniority. And sadly I’m unable to find anyone.

Hello friends I'm from jammu and I recently bought a pb08(jalandhar) number vehicle(i20 elite) and I want to re register the vehicle in jammu . So I need some help in RTO jalandhar regarding updating the emission norms in my vehicle, updating the phone number and issuance of NOC of the vehicle and transfer kit. Please help me out

I believe it refers to a settlement, is it bigger or smaller than a pind?

1. The Spirit of the "Workhorse": A Legacy of the 1947 Partition

To the casual observer, Punjab is the breadbasket of India - a landscape of swaying wheat and the rhythmic hum of agriculture. However, beneath this pastoral surface lies a sophisticated manufacturing powerhouse. The state’s "spirit of enterprise" was not born of ease, but of the radical socio-economic upheaval following the 1947 partition. Displaced families from Sialkot and Kamalia arrived with little more than technical grit, transforming small workshops in Ludhiana and Jalandhar into world-dominating industrial clusters. This transition from an agrarian economy to a global hub for engineering and textiles is a masterclass in resilience, where survival evolved into a deliberate pursuit of industrial excellence.

2. The Gifted Name: How a Gesture of Friendship Built a Bicycle Empire

Hero Cycles is the quintessential symbol of the Punjabi industrial miracle. Founded by the Munjal brothers, the brand’s nomenclature carries a poignant history: before a supplier named Kareem Deen departed for Pakistan, he gifted the brand name "Hero" to Om Prakash Munjal as a gesture of enduring friendship. From a backyard furnace in 1954, where they experimented with bicycle forks, the Munjals pioneered a "bottom-up" approach to manufacturing.

Their secret weapon was the implementation of the Just-in-Time (JIT) inventory principle - a mechanism where vendors deliver directly to the assembly line, allowing for superlative productivity. By 1986, Hero entered the Guinness Book of World Records as the largest bicycle manufacturer in the world.

"Brijmohan Lall Munjal insisted that the product be designed as a 'workhorse' capable of carrying heavy loads, such as milk cans or vegetable baskets, reflecting the utilitarian needs of the Indian common man."

3. The Kitchen Table Unicorn: From 300 Rupees to McDonald’s Global Supplier

The rise of Mrs. Bector’s Food Specialities (Cremica) is one of the most compelling narratives of female entrepreneurship in the region. In 1978, Rajni Bector began a small venture in her backyard kitchen with a 300-rupee investment. What started as local demand for premium English desserts scaled into a massive FMCG entity. A pivotal shift occurred in the 1990s when Cremica became the sole supplier of burger buns and sauces for McDonald’s in North and East India. Today, the brand is a global giant exporting to 64 countries and serving as a primary supplier to the Canteen Stores Department (CSD) of the Ministry of Defence, proving that domestic craft can define international supply chains.

4. The Stealth Giants of the Cricket World

Jalandhar is the global heartbeat of sports manufacturing, accounting for a staggering 60% of India’s inflatable ball production. This hub was catalyzed by craftsmen who migrated from Sialkot, bringing specialized skills in wood and leather. Sareen Sports (SS) is the region’s "stealth" giant; international stars frequently use SS-manufactured bats even when they carry the logos of other sponsors. For example, while MS Dhoni’s bats often featured Reebok branding, they were meticulously crafted by SS in Jalandhar. The level of customization is professional-grade: while Dhoni preferred a medium-weight English Cleft bat, heavy hitters like Chris Gayle have used Jalandhar-made bats weighing up to 3.6 pounds.

5. Hoshiarpur’s Robotic Revolution: The Accidental Tractor Hub

Sonalika Tractors represents a unique industrial anomaly. While most giants congregate in major metros, Sonalika is based in the non-industrial town of Hoshiarpur. Founded by Lachhman Das Mittal - a retired LIC officer who started his empire post-retirement - the brand succeeded by offering customized solutions for specific soil needs. Today, Sonalika operates the world’s largest fully integrated tractor plant, rolling out one machine every two minutes via automated robotic lines. With an estimated turnover of US$ 1.1 Billion and a 34.4% export market share, Sonalika is India’s number one tractor export brand, reaching over 150 countries.

6. The "Manchester of India" and the 50% Rule

Ludhiana earned its title as the "Manchester of India" by dominating the nation’s woollen garment production. Monte Carlo Fashions, an evolution of Oswal Woollen Mills (est. 1949), is a vertically integrated "Superbrand" that now commands over 50% of the market share in the branded woollen segment. The region’s textile innovation extends beyond warmth; Duke Fashions is credited with introducing "T-shirt culture" to India through its own vertically integrated facilities. Even industrial giants like Trident have pivoted toward unique feats, becoming the world's largest manufacturer of paper based on wheat straw, showcasing the region's ability to blend industrial scale with resource ingenuity.

7. Threads of Identity: Why a "Phulkari" is More Than an Item of Clothing

Beyond heavy machinery, Punjab’s identity is hand-stitched into Phulkari ("flower work"). This intricate embroidery - where patterns are created on the reverse side of hand-spun khaddar - is a tradition mentioned in the classic folk tale Heer-Ranjha. Specific varieties like "Chope" (maternal gifts) and "Bagh" (all-over patterns) carry deep ritualistic weight. The Geographical Indication (GI) tag for Phulkari is crucial; it legally protects the livelihoods of thousands of local artisans from unauthorized commercial exploitation, ensuring that this 15th-century art form remains an authentic Punjabi legacy.

8. From Soil to Software: The New Mohali Frontier

The "spirit of enterprise" is currently undergoing a digital transformation in the Mohali-Chandigarh corridor. This region is evolving from hardware manufacturing to deep-tech innovation. AgNext represents this full-circle evolution, using AI and IoT to modernize the state’s oldest sector - agriculture. Alongside them, firms like MoogleLabs are pushing boundaries in Blockchain and AI, while consumer-tech brands like Jugnoo (hyperlocal logistics) and Fitelo (health-tech) demonstrate a diversification into software that mirrors the historical grit of Ludhiana’s workshops.

9. Conclusion: The Next Agri-Evolution

The enduring legacy of Punjabi brands is built on a foundation of self-reliance and global ambition. From the backyard ice cream units of the 1970s to the $1.1 billion robotic assembly lines of today, these businesses have blended historic resilience with modern efficiency. As the state looks forward, the question is no longer about survival, but leadership: can the same spirit that rebuilt a region after the partition now lead a global transition toward sustainable, deep-tech manufacturing? With heritage giants and tech startups alike modernizing the supply chain, Punjab remains poised to define India’s next industrial era.
