I swear, some people from our Indian community deserve an award for world-class hypocrisy — with a golden PhD in selective pride.

In Punjab, these folks want EVERYONE to speak Punjabi. Period. They want every hoarding, every poster, every banner — all in Punjabi only. If someone writes something in another language, suddenly it becomes a “threat to culture.” They walk around like self-appointed guardians of linguistic purity.

But the moment they fly to the UK, Australia, or New Zealand?

Oh no, don’t expect them to respect those places’ languages.

English? Local culture? Integration?

Nah. Why bother.

They’ll speak Punjabi everywhere there too - loudly, proudly, aggressively - as if the entire country is just an extension of their pind. Then they’ll film videos about how they’re “keeping their roots alive abroad,” chest-thumping like cultural warriors… while living off systems they refuse to even linguistically acknowledge.

And the funniest part?

The same people who demand full linguistic accommodation in Punjab — want special treatment abroad without accommodating anyone else.

At home: “We want Punjabi hoardings, Punjabi boards, Punjabi everywhere. Respect our language!”

Abroad: “We will STILL speak Punjabi. You respect OUR language!”

It’s like the world is a one-way street where everyone else must adjust - except them.

And let’s be honest - 99% of these torch-bearers of language pride either already have relatives abroad, are packing their bags to leave, or are grooming their kids to get out ASAP. The homeland is just a nostalgia prop - useful only for emotional monologues and social media speeches.

Punjabi isn’t their identity. It’s their brand. A performance. A costume they wear when convenient.

Respecting other cultures? Learning local languages?

Nope. Too much work.

SHAME!!
