An observation I made the other day - Punjabi men are more possisive of their wives.
Guys typically from Karachi are more open minded. They don’t care if their wives are friends with their male friends. Their wives call my husband by the first his name - no bhai added. They all sit together in one room (guys and gals) and joke around openly
Guys typically from punjabi households - don’t particuarly like their wives mingling with their guy friends. Wives are friends with their male friend’s wives. Most of them refer to my husband as “Bhai”.

Any one else notice that?
I think it depends more on the group of ppl, rather than where they come from.
I can't comment on the social interaction aspect of it but my two cents on calling each other "bhai/bhabhi".. In my experience, yes, most of my punjabi friends call him bhai, and the non-punjabi (including some indians, bengalis and karachi walay) don't. I would say that giving someone a title is a sign of respect. However (this is my opinion and not necessarily what might be the prevailing thought in oru culture) Just because otehrs don't give "titles" doesn't mean they are being any less respectful.
Based on past experiences, when you make a topic based on ethnicity/race with generalized statements (however true to your expeirences they may be), these type of threads can easily go in the wrong direction. But the majority of our posters here are mature and sensible peeps, so I hope it wont’
@ thread starter, it is not just punjabi men call, we gals prefer like to have distance. so please dont just credit men for every good actions, cuz if punjabi men are asking their wives or sister to have distance then its good and that is what our religion teaches ur.
In Karachi University one student union imposed a restriction that outsite the class rooms boys and girls will stay away from each other 10 feet when they are talking to opposite sex.
But in the classes the same boys and girls were sitting next to each other.
