All about Punjab

 Punjabi male Dress

 mostly  has become victom of foreign invasions in both parts of Punjab especially in cities. In Pakistan Punjabi male usually wear Pakistani shalwar kameez and villages typical Punjabi dress still exists. The glory of Punjab “pugri” almost completely wiped out in the cities of Pakistani Punjab.Typical Punjabi dress is white Pugri (Turban). Collarless long shirt known  as “kurta” and 5 yard Long sheet of white cloth known as “dhuti”  , “chadder” Or lungi wraped around as trouser. Indian Punjabi in cities and villages Still wear pugri similar to Punjabi pugri and usual western shirt and trouser. Some villagers still wear dhuti.. The  Pugri  used to be very honourable part of Punjabi culture.If two men  swap pugri means they became brothers.and treated each other as brother regardless of religion. If there used to be any dispute in the tribes some elders put their pugris on the feet of other disputing party. The disputing party give respect to elders pugri and agree to end  their dispute. The pugri was sign of respect and honour.

The Pugri is usually  made of  thin cotton cloth muslin

The kurta and dhuti cloth khaddar used to be  made from spun cotton on hand spinning wheel “churkha”  by house women and then woven by village weavers “julahas.”

The yarn spun on churkha used to be of different counts or thickness. The Punjabi women used to know how to adjust thickness of the yarn by losening or tightening hand fingers. This yarn spun on churkha Punjabi  call it “sooter”. Thin or fine sooter for clothing khadder i.e for kurta and dhuti or chadder. This khaddar was replaced by cloth “latha” for dhuti or chaddar. Thick sooter for khesis, khais or matts.

For shoes Punjabi male used to have khusas hand made from leather by local “mochis” (shoemakers).

One other piece of Punjabi male dress is a long piece of cloth  to put on shoulder

in summer known as “saafa” or “Patka” or “purna”. In winter they  wrap around thick cloth khesi made from hand spun cotton yarn sooter. In some cases loi similar to shawl but made from wool. The Punjabi dress and language suffered the most during campaign of nationalism  of general zia ul haq and musharaf by giving impression of being Islamic dress shalwar kameez and Islamic language urdu. Which was totally false claim because I couldn’t understand from where this Islamic named dress and language came from? Is it worn in Arabian countries or urdu spoken in Arabian countries? Iran or turkey? No. In Turkish villages especially kurd areas people wear trouser similar to shalwar which is called “shalwaray” even in Iraqi and Syrian kurd areas men wear shalwaray. In reality Punjabi dhuti is part of basic Islamic culture i.e dress worn by most muslims during yearly pilgrims is same as Punjabi dhuti. Upper part of the dress haj pilgrimage is similar to safa or patka. There is only one other muslim country where shalwar kamez worn by most men is Afghanistan.

The underpants worn by Punjabi men is called Kachcha and it is similar to boxer shorts but bit loser.

The Lacha is another piece of cloth in some places worn by Punjabi men instead of dhuti or chadder. The lacha is a silky chadder with coloured  borders etc.

Punjabi Women dress

It is impossible to tell by dress whether a Punjabi woman is a Hindu, Muslim, Sikh or Christian – they all dress in shalwar topped by a kameez (a garment that can be fitted like a dress loose like the kurta) and accented by a rectangular scarf  about 2.5 metres long called the chunni or duppatta. She’s fond of her sweaters, but she is passionately proud of her collection of woollen shawls.

Prandah

Prandah is usually made of black cotton yarn to tie hears on the back. This is simple type of pranda. Some fancy type of pranda’s have golden, sliver or other coloured  thread wrapped around but basically black..This is also disappeared in modern Punjabi folks in cities

Surma and Kajjal

Sukk

What is sukk?  It is definitely dry skin of some tree which bit bitter in taste. It was part of  Punjabi women makeup,  to clean and cleanse teeth. After using you get some orangey colour to the lips. The modern lipsticks and tooth brushes taken over its place.

Mehndi

It henna paste used to be main item of Punjabi women makeup. It has properties to cure some skin infections. If someone used have burning feet they used to apply mehndi paste on bottom of their feet. The older folk to colour their hair. The mehndi is still part of weddings and also used for temporary skin tattoos.

Phulkari

These can be breathtaking. The women of Punjab are responsible for the  most famous item of handicraft – the phulkari. This is a shawl completely covered in dense silk embroidery, folk motifs in jewel-tones on an ochre background.

Jewellery

The jewellers of Punjab stock an enormous range of designs in bangles, necklaces, rings and earrings, nose-pins, ornaments to pin in the hair, anklets and toe-rings. Gold is weakness of Punjabi women regardless of religion – brides are loaded with it. A particular kind of bangle is the tip-off in recognizing Sikh men and women. It’s called a karah and is made of steel.

Nath

Is typical type of you can call nose pin but is not pin but long string of gold or silver from ear and then attached to the nose pin. It was impression in old Punjabis meaning woman under control. I have seen decades ago one nath wearing woman of Pakistani Punjabi origin in Manchester while my family was visiting her family. This nath was just like small gold chain attached to the nose pin. While she was talking this gold string was moving as well. 

Chanjar

“Chanjar chunkey ghi” tells all about it. It is like a leg bandage with attached small bells “cunghrian” is mostly disappeared.

Churkha (Punjabi spinning wheel)

It was main part of Punjabi culture. My mum wasn’t very educated used to say at night

bring your books and give me company while Iam spinning yarn “sootar”. After spinning few bobbins she used to make hanks “uttis” on one device “Utti”. It was my early years music during my home studies. It was amazing to hear sound of hand spinning wheel.

Chaati

There are two type of chaatis first of all I describe here chaati used in cooking milk to prepare for youghart. This chaati is made of clay and then cooked in kiln to make it suitable for use in wet condition. The family woman used to pour milk in the chaati and then put the chaati in the  self made Punjabi oven “paroli” which has fire from “pathian” made from buffalo dung. Left it for half day or full depending on temperature of the peroli which usuali cooking milk at low temperature. These type of pots were made by Punjabi potters called “ghumiyaar”

Chaati Madhani

The chaati again made from similar as above but different shape to use it for making lassi and butter by stirring Punjabi tool “Madhani “ into the youghart. After half an hours stirring you are able to collect butter by adding cold water in it. Good about this butter was that it was the most purified form of butter.

Chakki

Every Punjabi household used to have one especially in villages.It is Punjabi version of grinder.The  House woman used to grind wheet every day for chapattis

Peerihi

It is type of Punjabi low level square stool made from four round wooden spindles inserted into four pillars (paawas) and then interwoven with thin cotton ropes of different colours.

This daun is used to keep bed in stretched form for comfortable sleep or rest. These munjs are also used for sitting in meeting rooms “baithaks” or deras of Punjabis. Usually elders sit towards head side of the bed and youngers towards tightening side as sign of regards towards elders.

Peengha

It is some sort of  swinging cot for babbies to the small children. I was lucky to have one and used it till my teen years. It was  favourite place in the home for my school home work. The peenga of meine was great piece of workman ship of  local  carpenters (tarkhans)

Saag

It is one of the most favourite dish of Punjabi household. My mum used to say everybody couldn’t cook good saag. According to her to cook a delicious saag you need to put effort and be patient in cooking for long time. It still remember when she was new in the north east of England I have told her I will bring saag today. When she heard it saag she replied don’t joke because there was no concept of asian vegetables especially in north east of England. I went out to country side and found out many fields of saag. I  have approached one farmer and asked him if I could get some saag. I still remember I have used word mustard plant but first time knew they call it in English “rape”. He asked me what are you going to do with plants.? I told him my mum is going to cook it as saag cury and he asked how it tastes like?  I told him it is delicious Punjabi food if cooked properly. I have asked him what do you do then with rape. He said they extract oil from its seeds. Anyway I came back boot of my car filled with saag and got some spinach, corn flour, ginger and some butter from the super market. When I brought in nearly a bale (pund in Punjabi) of saag in the house. When she saw it her surprise and happiness was so amazing that I still remember. It was I think last saag I have eaten cooked by her because one sudden heart attach took her away from us before any medical help. Rest in peace mum you were great mum. Anyway she cooked saag from baby leaves and gundals (body of the rape plant and also made chapattis from corn flour. It was one of the best saag of my life I have ever eaten.

Now I better give you main ingredients of saag, one part saroon (rape), one part spinach,

Ginger, butter, onions, garlic, tumric, salt, chilli powder or green chillies and some cor flour.

Praat

It is a round tray type of dish with higher wall or edges about 2-3 inches used in prepration of foods and made from copper or  brass and coated with thin layer tin know as in Punjabi kali (a thin layer of tin coat . Don’t be confuse with similar spelt word for flower kali which has very good scent.The professional people who used to kali named kaligar. They were mobile tradesmen.

It is Punjabi cooker made from clay or clay bricks approximately u shaped

and used in most Punjabi cooking. Woman who cooks food on chulha used to sit on peerihee (small Punjabi stool) while preparing and cooking. In cities chula is replaced by gas chula cooker or in some cases electric ring. It is main part of Punjabi culture. The early breakfast before going to school used to be around chulha sitting on peerihee or phatti made from plank of wood with two small planks nailed underneath.Few years ago my Pakistan visit took me to Mundi Bahauddin to visit my dads friend. We used to call him chacha ji and his wife chachi ji. Anyway it was chachi ji’s kindness who told me at night that she will prepare prathas in the morning. you come into the kitchen sit on the peerihee and eat freshly cooked prathas while she is making. It might be to recall childhood memories of  my mum used to give us breakfast before going to school. Chachi ji you have done great favour and I still remember that breakfast.

Makai dee roti

It was part of most favoured food of  punjabi’s. The makai dee roti is type of chapatti flattened with hand from corn flour dough and cooked on tavva.  

Choori

It was famous saying of punjabi’s  ‘kha choori tay ker kasrat’ (eat choori and do exercise).

It was my childhood favourite food because I have sweet tooth. The Choori is made with

Mushed chapatti with shakur (Punjabi raw sugar) and gheeo (fatt extracted from the butter by cooking). It is rich in fat that’s why there is a saying do exercise to digest properly.

Another favourite food of my childhood was I don’t know what name I should give to it but it used to be very delicious to me and still remember its taste. It used to be made from

from previous night mushed  corn chapatti into shuker (Punjabi raw sugar)  and then mixed into yoghurt. I can still feel its taste after few decades. If someone reading it please let me know the name of this peculiar Punjabi dish.

Bulley shah

The famous saying that behind every man’ s success is a woman in the form of mom , sister, daughter or wife but it wasn’t the case with great sufi saints  and preachers of mankind Rumi and Baba Bulleh shah but it was the famous saint Shams Tabriz  for Rumi and Shah Inayat Qadri belonged to the 'Arain' or 'Raeen' caste, while Bulleh Shah belonged to the Syed caste (he was a direct descendant of the Prophet Muhammad). Bulleh Shah had to face the resentment and taunts of his family and other 'Syed' friends for accepting the spiritual guidance of a non-Syed. Bulleh Shah rejected his critics' false concept of inherent superiority and nobility of any caste through his poetry.
He explains through this poem that whoever calls him 'Syed' will be punished in hell and who ever calls him 'Raaniya' will be showered with blessings...because for him his guide is everything and he does want to be differentiated from the common

Bandeya Ho (lyrics and rough translation):

Bulley nu samjhawan aiyaan bhena te bharjhaiyaan
Munlay Bulleya sada kehna chad de pallah raiyaan
Bulley Shah's sisters and sisters-in-laws came to convince him. 
Bulleya, please do as we tell you and leave the Arain's (his guru’s) company.

Aal nabi ullad Nabi nu tu kyun leekaan laaiyaan
Jera sanu syed sadday dozakh milan sazaiyaan
(Bulleh Shah replies):

By becoming follower (mureed) of non syed you lowered the status of syeds (usually syed’s descendents of prophet Mohammad considered higher in status)

or
Why do you separate the Prophet's and Ali's descendants from the common people (why do you wedge a divide between the two)?

The one who calls me ‘Syed’ will go to hell, but the one who calls me ‘Arain’ will enjoy the comforts of heaven

Bandeya Ho Bandeya
Bandeya Ho
Bandeya Ho Bandeya
Bandeya Ho
Imploring mandkind...(Banda means man, while Bandeya refers to Mankind)


Raeen saain sabhan thaain rab diyaan be parwaiyaan
Sohniyaan pare hataiyaan te khoojiyaan lay gall laiyaan
Arain and masters are born at every place, God does not discriminate against anyone.
Beautiful people don't care for such differences, only the ugly ones do

Je tu loorain baag baharaan chaakar hoo ja raiyaan
Bulleh Shah di zaat ki puchni shakar ho razaiyaan
If you seek to the gardens of heaven, become a servant to the ‘Arains’. Why ask about the caste of Bulleh Shah? Instead be grateful in the God's will.

Atrocities against punjabi children

When I heard story of a little girl my eyes started to pour down stream of tears. She said uncle I spoke Punjabi with one of my class fellow. She suddenly approached to the teacher and complained about speaking punjabi . The teacher called me and put pencil between my fingers. She was pressing my fingers and shouting “Do you speak Punjabi again?”  I was crying with the pain and asking for her forgiveness but she continued her this behaviour and said you are polluting atmosphere of the school by speaking Punjabi. Since that day uncle I have stopped speaking Punjabi.

Talking about your own rights is not crime. High lighten your Murderer or his crime is not crime. Free World courts thinks about this  positively Speaking your mother tongue is your natural birth right and no one has right to snatch it. (from saeed farani’s  book “Punjabi is not going to die ).

MR. PM Invasion is not far away

Horrific and brutal murder of one British soldier on the streets of Woolwich (London) has shucked me really badly. When I read this news I took it as ordinary news but when I read second time then I realized that it is not ordinary news but I call it as slap on the face of great traditions of British tolerance freedom and liberties.  Although prime minister’s statement and bogus leaders of British Muslims are to calm down the situation but we need to look at root causes of this type of incidents.

About three years ago I went to Islamic Heritage centre Whalley Range Manchester for eid prayer. Whole speech of the Imam was about jihad. Islamic Heritage Centre was used to be transport college bought by Kuwaiti investors and converted to Islamic Heritage centre. This is photograph taken during his jihad speech at Islamic Heritage centre. 

It is not only Islamic heritage centre which was bought by Muslims but there was students hostel on Alexandra road whally range  Manchester bought by muslims and converted to Islamic school.

There was one hotel on chorlton road whalley range opposite health centre and netto shop has taken over by organisation “Minhaj ul quran” an organisation owned by Pakistani cleric Dr, Prof. Maulana Alama Tahir ul Qadri who claimed bogus asylum in Canada and gained Canadian citizenship.

Manchester city football club bought by and dubei sheikh and one football club owned by

Alfayed (owner of Harrods). Another british football club acquired by Al hisawi group of Kuwait. This is only known to me but there are hundreds and thousands other places by muslims which in my words are responsible to destroy real british culture. It is not by incident but it is planned invasion.

It is early seventies in Faisalabad  a city in Pakistan  “jamiat Ithad ul Ulama of Pakistan” held their conference and invited clerics of different sects. “Maulana Gulzar Ahmad Mazahari” was president of this organisation. In other words it was formed by Jamaat E Islami.of Pakistan. Ther was one particular speaker named “Abdul Rasheed Sidiqui “ from “UK Islamic Mission”. This particular speaker claimed during his speech  That

“we are doing too much Islamic work that you will see after 10 years uks map will be changed”. As soon as he told this to the conference all people started shouting slogans like “ Naara Takbeer  Allah hu Akbar” (shout Allah hu Akbar). During that time I was in my early teens. After passing 40 years what happened to british map? Is Britain became Islamic state or Khlafat? No it was lie of Uk Islamic Mission cleric.

Now lets see what is Uk Islamic mission. UIM is part of Jamaat Islami of Pakistan which is responsible for present lawlessness in Pakistan. His east Pakistan wing more than 10 leaders are under trial for Rape murder, looting and othere serious crimes in Bangladeshi courts. Jamaat Islami has never condemned talibaan mujahideen or alquidah. Because jamaat was biggest supplier of mujahideen to afghanista and Kashmir and even in Bangladesh in the form of alshmas and albadar.

Now lets see Tahir ul Qadri. A Pakistani cleric returned to Pakistan after claiming bogus asylum and staying 3-4 years in the Canada to acquire Canadian citizen on the basis of asylum. He came back and challenged last government of Pakistan in his flambouynt speeches. At the end gathered around 50 thousands of his followers and forced Pakistani government to negotiate with him. This is not new to muslims  Islamic history is full of this type of  events.

If someone wants to go abroad they ask whether they could get visa to that particular country. In the case of Britain they ask whether they can get nationality or not. It is a big joke.  I have no objection on people’s migration. It is a natural phenomenon for all species to migrate in search of food. It is ok to let good people in but it is not fair to locals which are losing their all opportunities to the explosion of invasion.

Few years ago I was renovating one of my flat  and plasterer was Iraqi Kurdish.. His name I use kargazar or similar . He was asylum seeker with his family in Manchester.

In reality what I have found out from the conversation . He came to Germany to get baby through medical means and then moved to safe heaven Britain and claimed asylum.

According to him since he came to Britain he has bought three properties in Iraq by claiming benefits and working illegally.

Other thing kargazar have told me that during Iraqi invasion of Kuwait his uncle was in Iraqi police. Every day his uncle used to go with empty truck to Kuwait and bring back full truck with goods stolen from Kuwaiti homes. Now this Iraqi police man is asylum seeker and living in Sheffield.

 My dear prime minister and government you have decided to accept hundreds afghani translators But keep in mind they belonged to different culture. How many of them could kill another soldier at one stage. It is also alarm Tahir ul qadri type of cleric gather his 50000 Supporters and start sit on near house of common as he did in Islamabad

Hon min tuwanu britania lai chaldaan aan. Ik din raat day time sarray baithay tv daikh rehay see. Meri dhee autoon thalay sitting room ch ai tay aidhar audhar daikh kay chalee ghai. Ohnay koi gal vee nehn keeti. Meri zanani nay autay jaa kay ohnu dekhya tay puchya ki gal ah. Ohnay kehya menu aidaan lagdaa jidaan meray kamray ch koi hai.

Mom nay ohnu ohtay hath phair kay tasali ditti keh ohday kamray ch koi nehn. Mom nay jidoon ohday autay tasali da hath phairya tay ohnu laga baiti day jissam baraf wangoon thanda see. Then she told to her mom that since few days she finds blood spots on her cloths. Her mom talked to her cousin  about this situation and he told her there is one man he specializes in these type of things. He usually hold his surgery on Thursdays but I know him personally so we could visit him anytime personally.

This is his house where he lives and practice his healing powers on the most vulnerable and desperate people and also on state benefits . It is not free and not cheap too. Comparing to doctors it is far too expensive. Doctors have to spend long times of their life to be qualified as doctor. Any patient goes to doctor has too be checked according to BMA guide lines and treated properly. On the other hand taweez writers doesn’t require any qualifications or not bound by any guideline of any body

Anyway mom and her cousin came to above photographed house and told the problem and situation. He closed his eyes and after few minutes said someone has done magic on her. Don’t worry I will give you few (around 7 rolled small paper “batiyaan” ) small papers and everyday you have to circle seven times one paper or batti on her head and then burn it. These seven small papers (taweez) costs us about 11 pounds or 17 pounds. Now  we followed all his instructions very carefully and completed all course. Anyhow problem  solved. She became ok. During this time we visited Bulgaria and turkey and these blood spots on her clothes followed her there too. I assume whoever done this it was international magic.

Many desperate people knock the door of these type of conmen.  Few years ago in Bolton one baba killed one person during extraction of jin.  Madni baba or noorani baba went to prison for murder.

One Pakistani qualified accountant went one step further. He is from London or Manchester . He used to be called “Prince” opened an office in the heart of Manchester city centre. Basically it was over the phone chat lines. It wasn’t chat line. It had many things like fortune telling over the phone and tarot reading. Who were fortune tellers? They used to recruit anyone through advertisements. After one two hours training you are on the phone telling callers their fate. I have spent few days with them. No wonder he was prince who was filling his bank account from most vulnerable people of the society. One day I popped into their office and found out that someone informed bbc about them. Then BBc came to their offices with hidden camera. Due to this they wrapped up their business.

One day one of my Kuwaiti friend phoned me if you have time come with me he is going to visit one syed (prophet Mohammad’s ancestors called syed) in salmiya Kuwait near fire brigade office to hand over some money sent to him by his follower for his services of taweez. He was an old man from balochistan region of Iran or Pakistan. While we were visiting him one Indian guy handed him 20 kuwaiti dinar bill (about 40 pounds) for his services. I would like to point out that in Kuwait many third world country workers earn 20 kd per month. Although it is illegal to practice these type of activities but still it is wide spread in most gulf states.

While I was in Pakistan my sister took me to one such practitioner in faisalbad. He was very busy and his room was full with women seeking his help through acquiring small pieces of papers “taweez”. He gave me taweez one small piece of paper by charging by hundreds rupees on the condition that I will send him my first salary from abroad. His paper to be honest helped me nothing . Might be it wasn’t international one.

Pakistani young generation is the most vulnerable who has no help from busy parents and they search through internet for spiritual help. There are hundreds online such type of healers  or alims on line which target and rob them through their credit card payments.

While I was few years old I used to visit one of them called “Mufti” . His main job was to

write taweez all day for his followers. While I was in west Germany One day I came across one magazine “Die Spiegel” who published an article about prophet mohammad and his photograph sitting on the ground and surrounded by four of his naked wives. Those day it made me angry as well and I sent this photograph to mufti.  As soon as “mufti” received this photgraph he oraganised many demonstrations against spiegel and  german government. Many shops and buses burned down by these religious fanatics due to this photograph.

I used think this religious man “mufti” very good and holy man. I used to enjoy his company because he was very talkative and full of humour.

Although Iam not sure but my instinct says he targeted my family through taweez. One of his follower approached him to do magic on my family. He has done some magic on Pakistani sweets “mathai” and delivered to our family through our close relative. According to my dad effects of this magic felt by whole family through our lunches and dinners by seeing thorns in the food. After few days investigation found out the whole plot and contacted to “mufti” for magic remedy but he told them that you have to contact someone else for remedy.

This taweez business is so lucrative and respectful in some circles that one solicitor from toba tek singh left his legal practice and became pir or religious healer. He became very popular in his followers and someone told me during urs or mella days his young follower girls put their hairs as a carpet and he comes to the mella walking over the hairs of the girls. I was  astonished to hear it because I knew him personally and he was educated person. My question is why education in eastern or third world countries has failed to teach educated people to differentiate between good and bad.

This peer was walking only hopefully on hairs of young  girls but some peers use young  and beautiful boys for their religious rituals which is called shahid bazi, nazar ala almard or contemplation of beardless. Most sufi peers were poet as well and most of their poetry is in praising the “saqi” which is beardless boy .
