Traditional foods...'Kaddi'. My all time favorite. With ghee. In our Fazilka district Kaddi is made in almost all 'Bagri' speaking and 'Bishnoi' households EVERYDAY. Usually at night. Made with Lassi (buttermilk) and Besan (Gram flour) very healthy and yummy..

Here are my two cents regarding identity/language. I am a Punjabi with roots in Rajasthan. My mother tounge is 'Bagri', with other 2 sisters being 'Punjabi' & '

Village Life.. making ghee (bilona)..milk is collected, heated, yogurt starter is added, fermented overnight..churned in the morning..ghee is separated from Lassi/chaah...Lassi is used to make kadhi, drink, given to the cows and used to make organic fertilizer..tough work😊

We might have political differences but I agree with
@bsmajithia
that Punjabi's want to live in peace and Punjab belongs to us all Punjabi's. & the people talking about referendums sitting overseas should come to Punjab and ask us Punjabi's what we want. We have suffered enough.

To all the bigots (of all faiths) out there: the real issues of Punjab are: pollution of our rivers/ canals, depletion of ground water, revival of our agriculture, better medical, educational facilities, job creation, improved governance etc..(you guys have gotten sidetracked).

I suggested yesterday that besides the legal issues, we on all levels (politics, unions, farmers & intellectuals) need to dispel the 'myth' that Punjab has enough water. Data now proves it beyond any doubt, 'that we don't'. We are at the tail end, & we don't even get our share..

ji, but I think you have been misinformed. Lulu group has been procuring Kinnow from Abohar area for the past 6 years & an order of 1,500 tonnes - it's the yield of 75 acres only, whereas Punjab has over 1,00,000 acres of kinnow..
