Image via Wikipedia Now that the snark is out of the way, let’s look at one of the most interesting documents in the history of Punjabi nationalism or secession: the Anandpur Sahib Resolutions. The Anandpur Sahib resolutions were the Akali Dal‘s response to being wiped out electorally in 1971 and 1972. They decided to recoup [...]

I saw the first half of Jab We Met yesterday with my office team before leaving for the Landmark Quiz. It is disgusting. All the characters pronounce ਬਠਿਂਡਾ (BaTthinDda) as ਭਟਿਂਡਾ (BbhaTtinda). Such affronts to the great Punjabi nation cannot be tolerated. This is a systematic conspiracy by the Gujews who run Shree Ashtavinayak Cine [...]

Please note that I am giving up Punjabi self-loathing. I am taking up Punjabi victimhood instead. The reasons for this will become clear over the next three or four months (since that is how long it takes me to write a series of posts).
