ਰੂਪ ਢਿੱਲੋਂ

I thought I'd just re-write up for you as no search on google shows it up ਬਾਪ ਤੋਂ ਖਲਾਸੀ ਰੂਪ ਢਿੱਲੋਂ ਕਿਉਂ ਮੈਂ ਬਾਪੂ ਦੀ ਇੱਜ਼ਤ ਕਰਾਂ? ਕਿਉਂ ਉਹਦੇ ਹੰਕਾਰ ਤੋਂ ਹਰਾਂ? ਕਿਉਂ ਕੱਲ੍ਹਦੇ ਭੂਤ ਤੋਂ ਡਰਾਂ? ਹੁਣ ਮੇਂ ਨਹੀਂ ਰਿਹਾ ਨਿਆਣਾ। ਹੁਣ ਮੈਂ ਪੜ੍ਹਿਆਂ ਲਿੱਖਿਆਂ ਸਿਆਣਾ। ਇਹ ਗੱਲਾਂ ਹੁਣ ਹੋ ਗਈਆਂ ਬਾਸੀ ਬੱਚਿਆਂ ਨੇ ਦੇ ਦਿੱਤੀ ਖਲਾਸੀ।।

The real people to be wary of... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-india-59338245?fbclid=IwAR2HCdHbykl95Pit5W9DdhTFiy-jY4Jc8_ZCu_goJ7jtLgOy4HmRLve3iII

that long went out of circulation. It was published in Bharind about 10 years ago and I understand that book is now out of print..Maybe on online someplace like 5abi.com Yeah I understand why you would be hawkish about that..all I can say is I get that re the British Pakistani community,,,but I could be wrong, but a new certain type born and read only in Pakistan is wanting to look at what unites us as punjabis..They still are proud of being Pakistani as many of us are of being Indian etc, but they are putting those things aside and looking at it for the common perspective ...I guess what I am saying is give them a chance but be wary

that would be weird since it a girl's school where they are teaching Gurmukhi

See link https://www.facebook.com/shagufta.lodhi/videos/359998932550957 Thousands of Pakistani students signing up to learn to read and write Gurmukhi

Believe it only after the laws been repealed in partliament...talk and words are just that

not quite the same thing but video interviews with Punjabis on both sides of the border ...can pick up a lot of vocab etc.. https://apnaorg.com/punjabi-baithak/ https://apnaorg.com/sufi-videos/lectures-1/ https://apnaorg.com/books/g-booklist.shtml

get someone to read it to you or make an audio recording for those who as yet haven't learnt the gurmukhi alphabet to be able to listen to it

https://apnaorg.com/prose-content/english-articles/page-188/article-1/index.html Have a read of this link..I think this is happening already amongst us western Punjabis ( Sikhs) ..what about Indian Charda Punjab? Is Hindi and English doing the same?

https://apnaorg.com/intro/ interesting

oh no...my attention was never to make anyone feel like that!

That kind of happens in English novels about India anyway

I'm glad someone thinks what I write is wonderful..Its not the price that concerns me, that's the publishers decision and choice..it's the other things he says about English VS Punjabi etc..sad if it is all true...but that is his observation sitting in India amongst the new gen of punjabis there Yeah, I am writinng because,,kee kahi sakda,,Janoon hai..and yeah I rather have 100 readers that get what I am doing, even after my death, then 10,000 who can't comprehend it...

Hi Dalsingh, did you get to read any of my books / stories? What is your feedback?

Gurjant Ji Looks like you were the only taker. I got told by publisher despite giving it away at the price he set only 1 person in the USA purchased a copy. His view ( He is a young Sikh man living in India who publishes books to pay for his education and has managed to get entry into Cardiff University) is that the reality is compared to the rest of India all Punjabis are illiterate in terms of interest in art, literature etc unless it involves religious writing ( regardless of being Sikh, Hindu, Muslim etc) which is why rest of India looks down on Punjabis. Other languages of India's writers writing in their own language can sell up to 10,000 books ( for India a big number) whilst the best of the best in Punjab struggle selling 100 and those are given away for free as no one wants to read Punjabi. This is sad as it solidifies the image of Punjabi Sikhs being Agrarian farmers and nothing more, especially since according to him the only things Punjabis are interested is Punjabi pop music, bhangra, jokes and punjabi films with nothing more taxing for the brain than watching the same singers speak punjabi mixed up with Hindi and with girl meets boy, or boy goes west and becomes rich plots. It is all very surface level He says he sells only books written in English by the bucket load to Punjabis, who won't read their own language despite shouting that we should all be proud of it. He is strongly advising me to give up Punjabi, accept our own don't speak or read it anymore and make a living from English the true language of the Punjab and India! In short I am wasting my time. I suppose one thing verifies his experience and view. I am writing this post in English, and most Sikhs will only read it in English I have also been told those born after the creation of India have bee raised on Hindi films and language and no one born after 1980 cares for it or can speak it. They only care for the Economically powerful language. English. So sad that no other Punjabi here took an interest..maybe proves he is right..anyhow do give me feedback on it once you have read it

Thanks Sir

This isn't my pricing policy. Its a publisher in India doing online pdf books. Guess as no physical book to produce his price is low..
