For the sake of argument, I simplify it by assuming there is a genuine Punjabi Indian who is living in Punjab and speaks a generic form of Punjabi and is for all intents and purposes the stereotypical Punjabi, even though I know this distinction is more illusory then real.

Interesting discussion I think I understand where you are coming from though since most Pakistani Punjabis live in Punjab (vs other parts of Pakistan) so there is some homogeneity there. However, cant really apply that to to Indian Punjabis since the Pakistani side is bigger than the Indian side, and most people who moved from the Pakistani side to India during partition ended up settling in various parts of India (not Punjab). Also, there has been a lot of migration driven by jobs etc which has spread people geographically.

There are many Punjabi families living in Mumbai for example who would fit the rest of the criteria you have mentioned. Bollywood is full of such people.
