Paki attitudes towards Punjabi language: 1) it is a rustic language, not fit for sophisiticated, upward, modern, elite, rich people. 2) It is to be used when talking to villagers ("Paindo") and rustick folks. To be used with household naukars etc. 3) To be used in street fights to appear s...

Re: Terrorist Islamic Republic of Pakistan (TSP): 29 March 2

Sorry to say, but our own Punjab is quite rotten too.
