This guy is interesting. In a way he is almost like an exact opposite of the typical Panjabi Sikh who has grown up in the west (by which I mean here is a westerner who has been exposed to Sikh and Panjabi culture like we have been to 'pucchmee subyachaar').

The thing is culture changes over time. Some new things spring up and other die away. Sikhs love blaming Punjabi culture for pretty much every internal problem but dont seem willing to change the culture or to explain how a specific part of the culture has led to the problem. It's almost as if the community loves having a 'get out of jail' card that absolves them of responsibility, allowing them to blame something that often isnt even tangible.

I agree that cultures (like language) change as you describe. But in reality aspects of Panjabi culture (as perceived by Sikhs) IS sometimes responsible for reprehensible crap in our society.
As for our people changing - they seem to have lost that dynamic streak for a crusty conservative one these days and aren't even smart enough to identify positive progressive from backward destructiveness.....welcome to the mad world of Panjabi Sikhs! lol It must be twelve o'clock or something?
