Pakistani Punjab and Former East punjab

[Kabira]

Good thread dude. But you can't just make claims like Indian Punjab dominates Pakistani Punjab without providing proofs etc. This statement seems inaccurate.

Sports, films and all the "soft power" have to be seen in a national context. For example the Punjabi songs and dances in Bollywood rely on Bollywood's massive reach to be popular so it will be unfair to other Indians when you claim this "soft power" as solely belonging to Punjabis. Same goes for sports. And this point stands out more when you consider the fact that Punjabis in India make up less than what 5~6% (?) of the total population?

Furthermore, both Punjabs are not what they were in 1947. Both sides have seen an influx of ethnicities from other provinces. Comparing today with the past doesn't make any sense.

I've seen interview of late Yash Raj who said their main porpose was to promore punjabi culture through bollywood. I mean if rest of Indians don't have problem with promotion of culture which is barely 2-3% of them then good for Indian punjabis. This has helped even Pakistani artists indirectly till recently lol
