					<description>Dipak Vithlani, I appreciated most of your post until you shed tears for Benazir Bhutto.   On a human level,  she lost her life, which is something to mourn.    Beyond that,  give me a break.  Under her regime,  the Kashmir dispute actualy became worse and she emboldened the ISI to spread their cancer in India.

As for the Sikhs,  remember one thing,  their guru said they should be &quot;warrior saints&quot;  and their mission was to fight Aurungzeb (probably misspelled).  They were actually supposed to protect Hindu's.  The guru's also predicted a time when these warrior saints would lose their way and forget their ideals and duties,  and run astray.  Unfortunately it came true and they turned on their Hindu brethren in Punjab.  I won't say more.

As for being Punjabi,  you are Punjabi because you believe that you are.  India is a huge conglomeration of a massive group of diverse people with different languages, it's a political creation.  Being punjabi means you love the language,  the family values,  and the food.   It's a lot more,  but start with the basics.    The Punjabi's who look down on others who speak Hindi, that's massive retardation.   We can't change the past,  let's change the future.   If someone says they are Punjabi, and feel they are Punjabi, at least acknowledge that.  Now,  if they don't speak it properly,  well that's ok,  if you do know the dialect better, teach them,  don't put them down!!</description>

					<description>i am a Hindu. A Gujarati. I have come across those ignorant types who concieve HP's as a hindu-sikh mix. but in my experience those people have actually always been sikhs.
my ex girlfriend who was a sikh, was totally unable to grasp the concept that a punjabi could be anything other than sikh. and the same goes for my sikh friends from uni- even they have this misconception that HP's are some sort of converts from sikh to hindu or such....
I as a gujarati have to end up explaining to them what an HP is. That an HP is the same as me only from a different state/culture.

I don't even like the term HP but i do see whey they feel the need to call themselves that, due to the types of people i described above.

my name has 'dev' on the end of it...this leads many sikhs to the assumption that im sikh as well. how stupid is that....like dev is a sikh copyright!!

I also find it hard to believe that when discussing origins, people refer to muslims, sikhs and gujaratis as if we are a religion!!! Gujarat is a state- get that through your thick heads!!!!

And i also don't agree with the typical view that bhangra music for example, is a sikh based tradition. its a punjabi tradtion...therefore belongs equally to hindu's and sikh's. even non punjabi hindu's think its a sikh thing.

i wait for the day when people realise this.
also one more thing...i read a comment above by a girl who stated that if a punjabi person doesn't speak punjabi, but hindi instead then she doesn't consider those kind of people true punabi. what a dumb girl.

go to mumbai and you'll find thousands...millions even, of punjabi's who speak hindi. or gujarati's who speak hindi.
that was one of the stupidest things i've ever heard.</description>

					<description>The Gujarati view of HP, that you describe, is that of those Gujaratis who have never been to India. They are ignorant about Gujarat itself, so forget about any appreciable understanding of the rest of India.</description>

					<description>Most of nepalis are descendants from Mongols as for tibetans some of them also come orignally from mongolia..Lama buddhism is also popular in mongolia....When Mongols won china they stelled many different places and made tribes there...Still many mongols continued eastwards toward persia arabia even in europe you will find many mongol descendants...

Mongols in christimas eve attacked wienna with Ogodei khan son of genghis khan as their new leader who later died of injuries and mongols had to pull back to elect new leader thats why europe is the only place which was spared exept russia where mongol descendant Batu khan made the golden horde...In muslim world Timur was the only mongol descentant who converted to islam...While mughals were sons of womens who were raped by mongolian armies in afghanistan.....

So mongols descendants are found in much parts f asia even Nepal were later Indian people came along with the first Hindu king prithvi narayan shahdev...</description>

					<description>The fact that you happen to be born into some community does not necessarily mean that you know more about the community than outsiders (although often it does), a white convert Hindu would probably know more about Dharma than many of the kool yaar by name Hindus from Bharat.

Nepal is a country that is mixed, many have mongloid features (that is not the same as saying they are Mongols) but many don't (like the Madhesis in Terai).</description>

					<description>Kadimipuli Porumannana, Genghis Khan is Nepalese so I'm sure he'd know more than you. But maybe Tibetan would be a be more suitable than Mongol?   But then again Tibetan could be classed as Mongoloid ...</description>

					<description>Genghis Khan what the hell is Mongols?

Nepalis are NOT Mongols.

Next I don't know where you got the idea that meat eating was not done by Hindus because they were supposedly soft, well the Gurkhas are staunch Hindus and they do eat meat from what I know and are definitely not considered soft.</description>
