Re: The LOVE of Bengalis for Bengali..VS the Disregard even...Hatred of Punjabis for Punjabi
Gyani ji
I am very active in a India Pakistan friendship forum on internet. There I have met many Punjabis from Pak who told me that Punjabi in big cities is on decline. Most upper middle andmiddle class parents do not encourage their kids to speak in Punjabi.
Though things are different in smaller cities and Pinds.
People outside Pakistan will know the difference once we meet the current school going generation in foreign lands after some years.
The examples you gave of the old lady and videos of Anwar Masood saab (whom I a fan of) are from a different generation.
That by no means mean that Punjabi is finished in Pakistani Punjab. Its Punjab afterall. But its definitely on a decline.
