Punjabis are Punjabis, be it Indian or Pakistanis, and what makes them Punjabi is that they have the innate ability, and almost a God gifted quality to laugh at themselves. So in that sense, most Indian Punjabis agree that their Punjabi is indeed *‘thaiss’, *(very raw and direct), and linguistically speaking it is. But Indian Punjabis are very proud of the rawness of their language, while Pakistanis to appreciate the Sikh Punjabi. In fact people from Faislabad, Pakistan are known to speak ‘Sikh’ Punjabi (or so I’ve been told). So really, most Indian Sikhs don’t take offence in that, and not all Pakistanis look down on that type of Punjabi. I absolutely love Sikh Punjabi, bring out all the aidaa’s tey kiddaan’s.

Technically… Punjab means… the land of five rivers… the **Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi, Sutlej, and Beas.
**All those rivers are in present day Pakistan…
