Hey Guys it looks like you are showing youself to be illiterate Jat Pendoos.
Being a Punjabi does not mean you are Sikh. Remember that Punjab consists of many Sikhs AND Hindus - with some families containing both religions- as well as Muslims, Christians etc.
Try to see the bigger picture Punjab is a State.

Yep- Punjabi Muslims, Punjabi Pakistanis, Hindu Punjabis etc...all relates to the huge india independance movement, where Punjab was split into 2- Punjab and Pakistan. Now people are all over the place...ther is a huge sikh community in pakistan too- believe it or not.
well said Gurpreet.

No doubt, i'm muslim and speak better punjabi then most of my sikh mates in wolves. most pakistanis in pakistan speak punjabi, official stats show 66% of pakistanis consider panjabi as there first language.
punjabi does not equal sikh, there are only around 20-25 million sikhs around the world, yet there are around 60-70 million muslim punjabis in pakistan alone. Muslims have formed the majority of punjabis for the last 1000 years when islam was first introduced in the nom sourthern punjabi city of Multan, Pakistan. although some may argue Multan was a state within in iteself, o well, thats another issue.
punjab all the way, thats what i say. Punjabi is a Nation, a Language and a Culture. it consists of in terms of numbers around 70-80 million Muslims (Mainly Pakistan), 20-25 million Sikhs (mainly India) , around 5 million or less Hindus (mainly India) , and around 3/4 million christians (India and Pakistan).
It really amazes me to find how ignorent some people are. once ha da girl ask me are u punjbai or muslim, i was luk DUH!

Being punjabi is all abt culture which can be expressed in different ways n most of all influnced by lots of stuff....some people think being punjabi is all abt talking punjabi n playing punjabi music.For others it's abt religion n appearance.it's really a individual thing...but definately cannot be stereotyped!
