What's new

Are Seraiki people a sub group of punjabis or are they there own ethnicity?

first of all Ethnicity in Pakistan is widely misunderstood and usually coincides with provincialism
in punjab there is a variety of ethnicities
many clans like rajputs and Dogars are completely different then punjabi defination
same goes with baloch and pathan tribes
now you can realize the truth about paharis or seraikis
 
And now your tiny brain is compelling you to equate other ethnic groups to afghans or indians?

Without us there is no Pakistan either.. Panjab ki 32 bana lena.

Puttar do you see me complaining ? Personally I might be more successful than your entire familia.

And guess what an afghani is yet more proud of his ancestors,his culture and language than mummy daddy clowns who hate their own culture,language and traditions... Those most of whom were ruled by other people for the mast hundreds of years ... Those who didn't even make Pakistan who act as if Pakistan is their Baap ko jagir... Those who "fancy dreams" about a superiority complex towards other ethnic groups lol.

Beta .. First be proud of your "own" language before talking shyt about others and your false pride.

I hear urdu speaker complain that Punjabis always speak Punjabi amongst themselves even in the presence of urdu speaker, why cant they speak urdu when they know it!... now you telling me we hate our language because you seen some mommy daddy families...you must be living in a bad neighborhood brother.

Do you ever wonder why Urdu speakers can understand punjabi (if spoken slowly) while they cant understand Sindi or Pushto?? ... thats because Punjabi and urdu has 50% common words with slightly different accent. Do you know Lahore was and is the center of Urdu literature.

Do you ever wonder why Punjab was the center of most Indian Empires. Punjabi accept change they dont resist it with guns. They are creative, I am from Karachi but I believe in Lahore for the reason that Lahore attracted geniuses from the entire region during Mughal Era and those Dormant Genes will wake up again once given the opportunity.

you know Punjab takes big chunk of development budget but do you know what Punjab produces, do you also know that 90% of Pakistan's exports originate from Punjab. Do you also know that 80% of expats are Punjabi sending 80% of Pakistan's remittances to Punjab which are spent in Punjab.

Jealousy come from inferiority complex.
 
Saraiki are mixture of Sindh, Punjab and Balochistan and a different ethnic group not Punjabis at all.. the good thing about them is that they can easily mix with all neighbors,

btw i am not even sure about Pothoharis, some of them also consider themselves non Punjabi.. @save_ghenda have very good understanding of Punjab.. Plz correct me if i am wrong about Pothoharis..

I think its right time to divide Punjab.. a big Punjab is developing superiority complex among people like @AsianUnion .. i being a Punjabi from KHI ask all other ethnic groups to rise against fake Punjab, we need original Punjab, which is central Punjab..

Saraiki and Pothohari deserve their own province..
 
Same with pahari (mirpuri) people are we punjabi or not?

People need to remember modern borders even on provincial level are not drawn on ethnic lines 100%. I have looked up south AJK tribes/clans of Mirpur and Bhimber and many are identical to ones living in districts in Jhelum and Gujrat which end up in punjab province. Apart from the fact that pahari, punjabi and potohari spoken in these districts are very very similar though not identical, just watch any video on youtube. You have more in common with someone from Jhelum/punjab then someone from Jhelum/Punjab have it with Bawalpur/Punjab.

Its not just punjab but every province is ethnically diverse. Hindko of Abbotabad/KPK have more in common with potoharis then they have with pashtuns. Think of modern provincial borders as administrative units instead of all of people living in them practising same culture from one corner to another. Remember I'm only talking about rural areas, urban city culture is becoming pretty much same all over Pakistan.

Another BS from ur undeveloped brain, infact loss of grey matter and vertebra is clear, What I am saying is a comparison, like an example, not at all equating the other ethnicities equal to Indians or Afghanis. If i did equate it I would have actually said it, You are like Indians, Afghanis, race, colour, ethnic, culture, length and breath.

I have already said, I feel cutting the Punjabis superiority among some Punjabis out, I consider Punjabis equal to Sindhis, Balochis, Paktoons and Muhajirs. You do need to read with big glasses post number 8 earlier in the last sentence: https://defence.pk/threads/are-sera...they-there-own-ethnicity.446824/#post-8634410

Beti g, the reason u can't comprehend a simple post i wrote earlier first page, shows me you and ur familia are metric fail.

And guess what an afghani is yet more proud of his ancestors,his culture and language than mummy daddy clowns who hate their own culture,language and traditions... Those most of whom were ruled by other people for the mast hundreds of years ... Those who didn't even make Pakistan who act as if Pakistan is their Baap ko jagir...

Beta .. First be proud of your "own" language before talking shyt about others and your false pride.

Afghani has false bravdo, its the central asians who are the real ancestors, and Afghanis gets raped, smuggled, invaded and sell themselves to the highest bidder and yet claim themselves as some of the proudest martial race. what a fck joke? are you a Afghani in disguise by any chooice...lol.. What has any Afghani ever produced or given to Pakistanis other than refugees, terrorism and economic burden, infact Pakistanis fought wars for them to liberate these namak harams....who u worship like ur masters. Punjabis donot worship Afghanis or anyone.

Punjabis are way proud of its language then anyone, the billion dollar Punjabi Music industry around the world, and in India and Pakistan is ran by Punjabis, so coming from a farted brain, who is afraid to disclose his own ethnicity due to own faults, telling others about own language shyt. You have little to no knowledge of Punjabi language.


Let me educate you about Punjabi Language:

Punjabi
is a Indo-Aryan-Pakistani language. It is the native language of about 130 million people, and is the 10th most spoken language in the world. Most of the people who speak this language live in the Punjab region of Pakistan and India. It is also widely spoken in Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and Delhi. It is natively spoken by the majority of the population of Pakistan and India. Punjabi is also widely spoken in UK, US and overseas Punjabi settlers.

Punjabi has many dialects. They form a continuous series that eventually becomes Hindi in India and Sindhi in Pakistan. The dialects are similar enough to each other that speakers can understand most of the dialects that are related to theirs. In India, the main dialects of Punjabi are: Majhi, Doabi, Malwi and Pwadhi. In Pakistan, the main dialects are Majhi, Pothohari, South Punjab, Saraiki, Hindko and Multani. Majhi is Punjabi's most important dialect because it forms the standard for writing in Punjabi. Other dialects of Punjabi include Pahari, Dhani, Shah Puri, Jhangochi, Rachnavi, Chenavari, Chhachi, Jandali, Ghebi, Thalochi, Riasti.

The Saraiki, spoken in Southern Punjab, and Dogri Punjabi, spoken in Kashmir, are closely related to Punjabi, a subgroups of Punjabi language.

I grew up in Bahawalpur and Saraikis aren't too different from punjabis. Sweet language though.

Aren't much difference but still different. Your ancestors settled in south punjab from upper punjab or as they say real punjab. Though migrations have been both ways in recent times. If you notice many changar/gypsy people in upper punjab are all seraikis originally. Those who have settled in villages doing kammi jobs for zamindars have adopted local language but those who still live like gypsys isolated speak in seraiki like accent.

Saraiki are actually the original city dwellers. Punjabis just came and settled outside the cities in rural lands and moved in.

I don't think punjab being bigger have anything to do with asianunion chauvinist behaviour, he seem to me more like relative of Nooras then anything else. PPP used to be pretty big supporter of seraikistan but they chickened out on demand of Karachi province. Now looks like they are against more provinces in general.

I believe more provinces will be made in one go. So Karachi, Hazara, potohar, seraiki etc will be made new provinces in one go. In punjab there is no ethnic tension between people of different parts at all, the demand is purely for administrative control. But same cannot be said of Karachi province.
