I grew up in the bay area of California. It was so hard to understand the Indians. I remember they would say they are Punjab. But then I would hear them say they are Hindu. I moved to Oregon and I met Sikh. In college I learned Sikh are from Punjab area of India. Now I am a geography teacher in America. I can successfully explain that you can be Punjab and be Hindu. You can be from Punjab and be Sikh. You can be Sikh and be from Pakistan. You can be Muslim and be from Punjab, India. The world and especially the part of the world who came from other countries (like me immigrating from Eritrea, Africa to America) to grow up in America have learned a lot from going to school with the fellow immigrant Indians in America. The people of India are a blessing to the world. 🇮🇳🇺🇲🇪🇷
Mr Teacher of Geography: Punjab is a State in India and a province in Pakistan and hence a place in both places. A person from Punjab is called a Punjabi, the language and the e culture are called Punjabi as well. You add the “i” at the end.
Because so called Sikh ism is an extension of paganism known as the Pharaonic Hinduism. They are believers of universe as the one god, not the Truth, creator of the universe and every thing in between, Alpha, The Only living Lord, Allah the merciful. They preach and practice hindrance to the truth Hinduism in deception, the denial of the truth by faith. Proof of it lays in the shape of their head gear, forming triangular shape of Pharaonic burial place in Egypt. Every one of the men claiming to be a Pharaoh, under the cover of the word Sardar.

Thanks to my great grandfather who settled in UP migrated from Lahore, india 1947 . He never left India till his last breath he had many chance to settle in uk and canada in 1947 and 1984. Thanks to all my fellow Indian who helped our business to grow exponentially. He lived like a king in a small town near raebareli. I came to canada and every moment I miss him and my beloved 🇮🇳 and yes Amritsr Wage Guru
Same thing happened to my father's elder brother. We were refugees from East Pakistan (Bangladesh now). He started as an engineer of Indian railway construction wing. Visited from Iraq to Africa for bridge construction job. He had every chance to be settled in Europe. But he was strict, once uprooted, never again. Panjabis and Bengalis paid highest price of partition.
I have many Sikhs friends here in Malaysia. Nearly all of them are career professionals such as educators, doctors, lawyers and engineers etc.This small group of people are consistently caring and sincere. God bless you all.Cheers!
Mani Shankar Aiyyar said: "Sikhs suffered the most due to partition" I guess, he never heard of Bengalis. Am a Bengali, I know what is suffering. My family orginally held from Barrackpore (which was a township during Bengal Presidency but right now it's considered a suburb of Kolkata) My Great- Grandfather was a police officer posted in Eastern province of Bengal (which is in Bangladesh presently) during 1930s. He was killed intentionally by a muslim dentist while performing surgery on his teeth. My grandfather was also a police officer, he was almost killed during Partition riots, but thankfully he survived. He saw most of his colleagues were killed at the hands of rioters during Partition trying to bring law and order under control. My grandfather also saved 100s of muslim and hindu families who were targeted by rioters during the refugee influx from both sides of Bengal Province.

And all that pain , that sufferings , that retaliation are always was same for both of us , the Punjabi and the Bengali . Within just a night we were the refugees in our own country . I swear , how it feels no-one else can understand . 😔
The Bengalis are still suffering. All Indian Bengalis in North East India are still called Bangladeshis by the fellow tribals of the place and asked to leave the place. Due to partition North east India Bengalis are suffering from identify crisis
@@ramakrishna7534 Bengalis were there since the start the world there. They were in minority, but they were there. May be migration took place, but it was because the Hindus were insecure to stay in Bangladesh as it was under Pakistan. But don't forget Bangladesh was part of the bigger Bengal then..so Bengalis were spread all around Bengal and after partition they simply came from one part of the Bengal to other part of the Bengal (under India). So technically they dint migrate to a completely new place with new language. They simply moved from one location of their home state to another location. Those Punjabis who came from the Pakistan side to Indian Punjab side are not migrants right. So even Bengalis are not migrants. It's utterly disgusting that Bengalis in North east India, even after contributing so much to the literature and economy, still have to prove their right to stay in their "once own home state" just because now new geographical names has been given to the places. And bdw by North East, I am mostly talking about border states like Tripura, Assam, and Meghalaya..

@Aman Singh There are multiple editions of books in Pakistan with each one differing depending on province furthermore each book changes and adds more by passing year. Again which book did you read? Because there is not so much religion mentioned in our history books. Atleast know what you are talking about. There is a completely different subject to teach about Islam and that's not history books but rather "Islamiat"

Sikhs are heartily welcomed here in Bangladesh🇧🇩🙏. I live near the historical "Gurudwara Nanak Shahi" in Dhaka city and there are around 23,000 Sikhs in my neighborhood. Most of them are descendants of Pakistani Punjab's Sikhs ..when bangladesh and Pakistan was a same country, many Sikhs from Pakistan's Punjab came to East Pakistan (current Bangladesh). During the 1971 war, Sikh fighters fought valiantly alongside us against the namard cowered Pakistanis .. Bangladesh Govt. has given their community full Bengali citizenship and nowadays their community can speak fluent Punjabi and Bengali. They operate some of the best North Indian restaurants in Dhaka. Guru Nanak visited Bangladesh in 1504, (Bangladesh was independent back then as the "Sultanate of Bengal") and he established a number of Gurudwaras .

Why. Infact Sikhism is part of Sanatan Dharam and that is reason that most families will have first son as Sikh or if it is daughter, they will marry into Sikh family.

It's a fairly objective statement. Imagine if on partition there was a Sikh and Hindu state but nothing for Muslim ... in this scenario it would be correct to say the Muslims lost the most.

I always say if the Buddha or the Sikh founder had been born in Christian or Muslim lands he would have been branded a heretic, an apostate and been lynched to death! His writings burnt, his followers killed, there would be no Sikhism nor Buddhism today! Fortunately these men were born in Hindu India - a faith that preaches respect for views other than its own

Sikhs are legendary for their humanitarian spirit. During 2021 Corona pandemic, Sikh Sardar volunteers were the first to provide food donations . And never to be forgotten: free funeral rituals for thousands of dead (infected by virus) whose corpse even their family did not want to touch. Sikhs were the first volunteers to provide free food to homeless victims during Nepal's 2015 earthquake. Sikhs are very generous people. They providec delicious langar meals , lovingly prepared by Sikh schoolgirls , to visitors from all faiths in their Gurudwara. Their generosity is praiseworthy. Sikhs are very courageous people. Their valour and sacrifice in the line of military duty is legendary. Sikh warriors defeated invaders coming down from the Khyber pass. Sikh bravery was witnessed in Jullianwallah Bagh, 1947 partition, 1971 war with Pakistan and 1999 Kargil war . Their bravery is praiseworthy. Sikhs are very open minded people. Straight forward and truthful, their blunt way of speaking puts them in hot waters occasionally, but that is also a sign of uncompromising sincerity. In a land full of double standards and hypocrisy, their moral integrity is praiseworthy. Sikhs are very jovial and fun loving people. In a land lacking sense of humour , their ability to laugh at their own charicature is praiseworthy. Salute ❗

I don’t know who this Indian politician is and why is he taking credit for the kartarpur. As an a Pakistani we all gives the credit to navjot Singh sidhu. He put his career on line to get the kartarpur open. I really hope that Indians Sikh see that and thanks him. Modi only cares about Hindu.
I’ve just been to Nanak Sahib as well as Kartarpur & it was an absolute honor to have visited important places linked to the religion of Sikhism. Loved it every moment.
I'm Muslim. I believe that Sikhism is way better than class based Hinduism. Blacks, whites and anything in between are equal. In Hinduism, the darker your skin gets the more abuse you encounter. Lighter skin or even the whiter your skin gets is considered as pure and superior just like the way whites in America and Europeans believes. Sikh people are extremely hardworking people. They basically they own many parts of Toronto, Canada.
For most of them, a fair skin is the ultimate gift bestowed upon any human being and those with slightly more melanin content in their skin lost the genetic lottery.
I live in a pakistani Muslim area within the UK They are obsessed with being fair skinned. Even in ozalmic religious texts itself it's mentioned how being fair skinned is a blessing and being dark skinned isn't
I found this presentation to be both informative as well as educational. I would be interested in learning more about Sikhism. Thank you DW for posting and stay safe 🙏
After meeting Indian of all faith, I realized we are all people of same land, history and traditions, yes we may have different faiths but our "Khamir"is the same. The haters exploit our emotions by magnifying our differences to keep the hate going.
Thank you for showing the TRUE About SIKHISM. They are Warriors, Respectful of other Religions, Believe in Hard work and Sharing for needy people. Sikhs truly follows GURU NANAK DEV JI's teachings. When you treat people with Respect and Dignity you are given double in return.
Thank you for this. I’ve always been interested in learning of all ways of life and faiths. I am embarrassed to say I’ve been oblivious about Sikhism but really love learning about! Thank you! 👏👏🇨🇦

"Actually, I am a Hindu girl; married to a Sikh and going to a Muslim Country" resonates heavily on my mind. This is how Hindus; Muslims and Sikhs love each other.
