Oh boy… Erm…

How do you measure which of the two groups is more or less religious?

The Hyderabadis that I knew …some of them wore hijab and others didn’t. I found the same difference among Punjabis. Some of them sported beards and others didn’t. I found the same among Punjabis. They valued namaz and and tried to adhere to these practices. I found the same among Punjabis. The Hydros I knew were conservative in that they did not approve of drinking and such. But I noticed the same values among the Punjabis in both my family and social circle…and I am a Punjabi. A couple Hyderabadis…I couldn’t trust and I found them to be very rude at times. But I know of a few Pubjabis and pakistanis of other ethnic groups that I had negative experiences with.

So, again…how is level of religiosity between the two groups being measured?

And Spiral…trust me Punjabis …overall know how to do mehmaan nawazi and khana really, really, really well too. We know how to do food and our menus for basic dawats and formal events can’t be called skimpy. One’s husband ki family or clan of in-laws don’r represent all Punjabis.

I mean, it’s completely based on one’s experience, but from my social circle and what I’ve seen, all the hijabis/hafizes/etc I know are hydro. With the exception of 2 that are punjabi. It might also be where I’m from because the hydrabadi communities here are very involved in masjid life whereas the punjabi families aren’t. But yes, good God fearing people everywhere, not that all punjabis are heathens, etc.
