Ji
Aya Nu SatSri Akaal! AsslamValequm!Namaste
Punjab?
Punjab - is a state of mind.
You may live in any part of this earth but if your mother-tongue is Punjabi you are a
Punjabi. Punjab is wherever a Punjabi lives! It has nothing to do with any religion or
belief.
Punjab is a geo-economic region with an ancient culture poisoned by religious
bigots.
The nector of religious spirit becomes poison instantly when it is injected with
hate, jealousy, complexity of superiority or inferiority or simple ignorance of other
people. Punjab, today, is textbook case, where ignorance and absolutely ill-educated
people have made it a blend of disharmony and intolerance.
This Punjab has no future for sure.
The future lies with Global Punjab...Just read on.
Punjabi?
You may have any nationality, any religion, any color, any profession, any trade, any
belief, essentially you remain a Punjabi. Be proud of being a Punjabi.
Global Punjab?
Global Punjab has more than 150 million people worldwide with majority living in Pakistan
and India and rest scattered over in Africa, Europe, Asia and North America.
In Global Punjab - all are welcome. There are no biased restrictions nor
any fundamentalist ideas about life.
Punjabi culture is so ancient that having seen so many invasions, so many heavy mistakes
and tragedies, Punjabis have become more global than any other community. Their globalness
may not be very apparent at first, but inside every Punjabi is a global citizen, striving
to make it in this life.
We are attempting to unite all Punjabis and not dividing them by classes, castes,
religions or nationalistic systems, which have been means to screw us up in last
thousands of years. Enough of all that! That has only made us poorer, ignorant and a rural
lot.
PUNJABIS IDENTIFICATION
I bet that if PUNJABIS were together and not hurt each other, we would be
today a nation of 150 million richest people of Asia. See how the homogenous
cultures like Japanese, Koreans and Germans have performed. They also have different
religious beliefs but they are not foolish like us. Sorry atleast one Punjabi herewith is
accepting the historical truth that we are a community which never learns from our
mistakes but we keep making more and more of them thereby making us a poor lot.
If we do not open our eyes we will remain as scattered and broken as we
are without any identification. We are not going to achieve anything by making ourselves
weaker by dividing further and hating each other but accept the fact that Punjab is a
great nation with all colors, all beliefs and all sub-cultures. That day when we accept
that fact, true progress will start. I guarantee you that ignorant politicians in Pakistan
and India will learn this fact only after 10 more wars, after screwing our remaining
resources, by killing atleast 5 million more Punjabis and then on the barren and
NUKED lands, we will be playing cricket.
I call upon all my friends to open up and give a wake up call to our ignorant friends. If
you think i am crazy than you have no idea on the usefulness of history.
Wiser people learn from their mistakes. Idiots keep doing them.
Advantages of a Global Punjab
By being together, we can discuss our past, think about future, think about making money
and thus prospering our community, helping budding business people, providing a network to
great geniuses and talents of our community.
We have seen how destructive and dangerous it is to divide a community and see it decline
in Punjab in last many hundred years. CAN we learn something of past. Can we make it
better? Yes we can. If you we are really ready we can. Punjabis have never attempted to
think of all of us as a networked community as the walls created by our ancestors, who
lived in tiny villages, were tall enough to breathe such impossible ideas. Let us work
hard to educate our community leaders, our country legislatures and other educated lots
that divided we are piece of a tiny dot on the map and together we are very powerful.
Punjab of future?
A progressive Punjabi, wherever he may live in whichever condition, is
trying hard to survive the onslaught of extremists and bigots who impose their
narrow-minded mentality in the name of past and history. We believe that Punjab's future
is more important than past. And Punjabis can ONLY grow if we shed our idiotic divisions
and foolish village mentality which has divided us so much that even among a subcaste
there are further divisions. Thats nothing but a shame.
Please do not screw the majority of Punjabis living in Pakistan, India, UK
and Americas - who just want to be better economically and socially.
We appeal to all upwardly mobile Punjabis to join us and express ourselves as a global
homogenous community with one voice and let us face the truth and learn from it. Our
principle endeavor should be to learn and educate ourselves on how best to make use of the
opportunities and make ourselves a strong community.
We are in process of building up a user-friendly website for all PUNJABIS
worldwide without any distinction and we invite your suggestions and ideas to add new
features.

Punjab
is one
Punjabi Network welcome to all Punjabis worldwide.
Punjabi Network is
proud to present a platform - let us make it a unique one - where Punjabis of any
origin, any country, any creed or caste, any religion or nationality can meet and exchange
ideas and thoughts. Punjabi culture is a common heritage of all of us.
We kindly request you to open up your heart and cleanse it from
any nationalism, any religion or any regionalism.
We are not breaking Punjab into more and more smaller units but uniting
all Punjabis and be a better community. The simple reason is we are a homogenous community
with same language, same traditions and same culture. In our definition religious beliefs
should be a personal matter or for that you can go to your nearest temple, Gurudwara or
Mosque. Let us not mix religion, politics and Culture in the same breathe. That is absurd
and very explosive. That does not work. If you have different opinion then please be happy
and wish you the best but dont force your views on others.
Let us learn from our common heritage, our common culture and
enrich it with our worldwide experience, knowledge and richness of heart.
Let us demonstrate to the world that despite our distances and
differences PUNJABIS have a unique and common culture.
Let us be proud of our PUNJAB.
Punjab which lives in our hearts and souls and whose
soil gave richness to our souls and a special strength to our genes.

| Great Sufi Saint Satguru Nanak Dev
ji says in Guru Granth Sahib |
Antar mel lobh jhhoodth antar ki gat tahi jivo...
that why do you wash consantly from outside
If you really want to purify your self
remove the mael of lobh (greed), Ninda (find errors in others) and Jhooth (not
speaking the things as they are)
of your mind first, purify your heart to cleanse yourself by not being greedy, find
errors in oneself instead of finding them in others, and speak the things as they are and
not manipulate for petty achievements.
Further he says
bahar thoondat bahut dukh pave...ghare amrit ghat mahi jiyo
That you are looking for contentment and pleasures outside
in vain, when there is a great deposit of nectar of peace in your own heart..so do not
attempt find false and temporary sukh outside try go into yourself and you will find a
cosmos of happiness.
