Heard that in rural Punjab, a baraat is welcomed with Gaaliyan and sometimes the people from bride’s village throw stones, etc on baraat. People on bride’s side sing songs in which family of the groom (especially groom’s mother) is targeted.
Have you observed or heard of this tradition?
What is the philosophy behind such treatment of Baraat?
Re: Baraat, Gaaliyan aur Gaanay
lolz reading this for first time,
usually now on mehndi boths ides ing songs making fun of each other n dancing n doing parody but within limits.
in our village there used to be tradition (my grandmum told) tht at rukhsati, bride used to ask for forgiveness from evryone of her family by touching their feet, but my grandfather erased tht tradition also when his nephew was getting married he was like shadi kr rahi hai koi gunnah nhi tht she should ask forgiveness

Re: Baraat, Gaaliyan aur Gaanay
OK, if that is not true, just translate this folk Punjabi song
Re: Baraat, Gaaliyan aur Gaanay
teher are hundreds of songs in Bollywood on this topic…in reality, i’ve seen this kinda baaraat…but, lemme tell you this…shorafaa ke yahaN yeh sab nahiiN hotaa!
some even call Khusre [hijRe] to come and grace ?] the occasion with their peculiar dancing, singing, clapping and verbal onslaught of samdhan/samdhii gaaliyaaN! 
Re: Baraat, Gaaliyan aur Gaanay
I think the traditions don’t get distinction between shurafaa and non-shurafaa. Its like we say ‘joota chhupane ki rasm’ shurafaa main nahin hoti.
Re: Baraat, Gaaliyan aur Gaanay
that is different…i’ve never seen or heard this gaali galauj rasam taking place in paRhe likhe shorafaa…it happens in uneducated lower class of people [jolaahe etc]
NOTE:
i’m a strong opponent of this zaat paat culture. what i mentioned is mere observation.
don’t confuse with ‘NOK-JHONK’ between folks on bride’s and groom’s sides. nok-jhoNk to mahndi ke roz ladies Dholak bajaate huye kartii haiN…is meN shusta tanz o mizaaH kaa unsar hotaa hai…gaali galauj qata’n nahiiN hotaa!
Re: Baraat, Gaaliyan aur Gaanay
I think culture (good or bad) belongs to lower class (people who are attached with the land like jolaha, etc). Upper class people (shurafa) don’t got any culture, they just got ‘log kia kahen ge’. 
Re: Baraat, Gaaliyan aur Gaanay
probably…and, education also play an important role in shunning such indecent rasoomaat.
Re: Baraat, Gaaliyan aur Gaanay
Sometimes, education leads to indecent proposals after it provided an opportunity to shun indecent rasoomaat 
I think the tradition of giving gaali was not taken seriously by groom side and it was acceptable norm. May be that was used as breaking ice between the parties.
Re: Baraat, Gaaliyan aur Gaanay
it doesn’t matter Muqwee Bhai if the grrom’s side minded it or not, mere utterance of those indecent words is bad enuf…lil kids hear all this! is it good?
jo ek gandii baat chhoR kar duusrii gandii baat apnaate haiN vo paka o saaf kab huye? :Di do NOT consider it decent when it’s NOT…no matter what! gaali galauj shoraafaa ke lachchhan nahiiN huaa karte!

I think they don't give baRi baRi galiyan and talk in ishare kanaiye (metaphorically). I think a person from Punjab who observed this situation may be in better position to explain this.

Re: Baraat, Gaaliyan aur Gaanay

But I read that in Mustansar Hussain TaraR's novel who is from Punjab. May be the tradition is not followed today or followed in a particular area and caste. The characters in TaraR's novel are jats from Gujrat
