Guest Posted February 14, 2004 Report Share Posted February 14, 2004 In Sri Nankana Sahib, there are many Pakistani Sikh families. There is a regular Punjabi School too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Punjabi Nationalist Posted February 15, 2004 Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 Where in Pakistan is he from? There are only a few thousand Sikhs (If that) left in Pakistan, whereas Hindu population could be in the millions. Not all of them are in Punjab, Sikh community in NWFP is probably more recognizable than the Sikh community in Punjab. When my Grandfather returned to Lahore after it was awarded to Pakistan i dont think he found any Sikhs there and he did not receive a warm welcome in his old neighbourhood. I think by and large times have changed since then, he did visit Pakistan twice but both were disappointing and frustrating trips for him. Sikh community is confined to living in and around a few Gurdwaras, thats about it. I have some unofficial plans to go to Pakistan this summer so if you can find out more about this guy id be happy to take him some books depending on if and where i go (Lahore and Gujranwala most likely). PS, where did you find this guy? Sorry but i have to ask before i get in touch with him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 16, 2004 Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 He is from 'Mithi district Tharparkar Sindh', Mithi is a tiny desert city bordering Rajasthan. He contacted me through PM at the Waheguru forum. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Punjabi Nationalist Posted February 17, 2004 Report Share Posted February 17, 2004 He is from 'Mithi district Tharparkar Sindh', Mithi is a tiny desert city bordering Rajasthan. He contacted me through PM at the Waheguru forum. Hmmmm, if i ever go to Pakistan it wont be anywhere in Sindh, especially not a border area which is most likely off limits to travellers from India or of "Indian origin". Some parts of Sindh bordering India had around 80% Hindu majorities right up until the 1960's, but i think most left for India after the Indo-Pak wars. Im guessing this guy is one of the few people who still stayed back. Unfortunately even if i could manage to see this guy, getting his kids hooked up or introduced to potential brides/grooms is not something i can help him with. I think his best option is to travel to some of the main Gurdwaras in Punjab to make some contacts with Sikhs living there.... Ps, I hope this person is legit anway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
