Re: Definition of a Paindu - your input is needed

Before I was told Paindu was an offensive term, I thought Paindu was someone who came from rural areas of Pakistan, which is mostly Punjab. I still don’t fully understand what exactly Paindu means. :hmmm:

Re: Definition of a Paindu - your input is needed

Many people use this term but on social media I have seen mostly karachites using this term for other citizens. For them even lahoris are paindu let alone people from rural sindh/punjab.

Re: Definition of a Paindu - your input is needed

I associate paindo with being a country folk or someone just very plain. But never any of the above mentioned --- pedophiles? errr no.

Re: Definition of a Paindu - your input is needed

Trust me they (karachi walay) can be paindoo too and aside from the fact also for the nose picking/scratching/bad oral hygiene. Eeeww

No one is spared in our culture :nono:

Re: Definition of a Paindu - your input is needed

Our opinions are sometimes forged by our experiences, stuff like Panchayat ordered gang rape of Mukhtaran Mai, stoning of own daughter outside court, sexual predation of young boys in Multan andthen committing it in Rotherham also. I am not sure if we can throw in cousin marriages.

Bringing up phlemn by strange throat noise and definitely scratching are defining qualities. I know these are stereo typing and outside of that simple country folks who are hospitable and warm

the one who is not modern enough, imo.

Re: Definition of a Paindu - your input is needed

Could you please not trash nose pickers?

Re: Definition of a Paindu - your input is needed

Paindoo

1) Believes in climate change
2) Recycles
3) Has low carbon footprint.
4) Picks nose judiciously
5) Rearranges every once in a while

Re: Definition of a Paindu - your input is needed

it has different meanings in different contexts.

when used by karachians - it is to insult the punjabis

when used by elitist/urban punjabis - it is to insult rural punjabis

when used by punjabis themselves - it is not to insult but to take pride in rural roots.

Re: Definition of a Paindu - your input is needed

Painduism in Filmistan:
We see people following old habits or traditional/country things despite of having ample resources or switching from middle/lower to higher class.
Eg. 1. Babu bhiya (Paresh Rawal) taking water in bucket from swimming pool for bathing, in Phir herapheri movie.
2. Dimple (Katrina Kaif) smoking beeRi in Dhunki song of Mere brother ki dulhan movie.

Now the important question is -

Katappa ne Bahubali ko kyun mara?

Re: Definition of a Paindu - your input is needed

This term is definitely not coined by Karachiites (specially Urdu speaking community) as Urdu got dehati to refer to people coming from rural areas. Its a fact that people from urban areas do have a perception for rural areas and people living there as is the peculiar perception of rural people about urban people. 'Shehri' is the simple counterpart of dehati / paindu. Shehris talk against dehati / paindus and Piandus talk against shehri. Everyone loves and brag about the lifestyle they belong to. For urban people, rural people are raw (lacking the manners they follow). For rural people, shehri lack substance, awkwardly behaving shallow people.

One can not get rid of such perception, till someone actually come into contact with other group.

Re: Definition of a Paindu - your input is needed

Looks like a paindu has took it to his heart.. outch! :slight_smile:

Now I wonder if OP has got it right by including pts. 10 & 11.

But seriously, how many multis will you make? :diwana:

Re: Definition of a Paindu - your input is needed

Re: Definition of a Paindu - your input is needed

btw, paidu is a Punjabi word and used in Pakistan. we don’t use this word in India. we have another word for it…it’s ‘gaNwaar’

paindu [in Pakistan] = gaNwaar [India]

ek kahaavat bhii hai is silsile se:

sar baRaa sardaar kaa, paauuN baRaa gaNwaar kaa!!! :hehe:
