This is the toughest time for me and my family.
My mom's been diagnosed with advance stage cancer .
I am thankful to all my friends who have reached out to me through message and calls.
Really indebted to everyone.
I request to please pray so that we are able to fight it .
Hinduism survived centuries of invasions, Mughal rule and British colonialism.
It survived decades of Congress rule.
So why, after 12 years of BJP rule, are we still being told that Hinduism is under threat?
What exactly is threatening a civilisation that has endured so much?
And more importantly, who benefits from keeping Hindus convinced that their faith is in danger?
A civilisation that survived centuries of adversity deserves more than a politics of perpetual fear.
The conversation about Punjab’s painful history must include everyone.
Punjabi Hindus also suffered during the militancy of the 1980s and 1990s. Many were targeted, many fled, and many struggled to remain in their own homeland.
Why is their suffering so rarely acknowledged?
Why does their pain so often go unspoken?
Do Punjabi Hindus not matter?
And why has no Hindu been Chief Minister of Punjab since the state’s reorganisation in 1966?
Punjab belongs to all Punjabis. Every community’s suffering deserves recognition, and every Punjabi deserves an equal place in its future.
People sitting outside Punjab can never truly understand the pain of Partition, the wounds of 1984, or the spirit of seva and sacrifice that defines Punjab. They can never understand the struggle of Jaswant Singh ji Khalra .
Yet, they find time to be jealous of Diljit, his global tour, and his success.
What hurts me more is seeing people from Punjab supporting such an ideology. If you cannot understand Punjabiyat, its history, and its sacrifices, then perhaps Punjab is not the place for you .
Since the 1980s, generations of Punjab’s youth have left their homeland in search of opportunity and a better future.
Our first responsibility must be to create the opportunities and environment that allow our young people to build their future in Punjab, so that fewer feel compelled to leave.
And then, one step at a time, we must work towards bringing back those who have already left, by giving them a reason to return and contribute to their homeland.
This is not a task for one party or one government. It is a collective responsibility that must rise above political differences.
Let us first create a Punjab where our youth can stay, and then a Punjab where they want to return.

This is the Punjab Model?
While sitting at Goa Airport In july having a Subway, two employees from another food outlet a young man and a young woman came over and started talking to us.
They told us they were both from Punjab (Bathinda district) but had moved to Goa for work because they couldn’t find stable employment back home. They also spoke about concerns over the lack of opportunities and rising crime.
It was genuinely sad to see young people leaving their families and home state simply because they feel they have no better option. Talking to fellow Punjabis seemed to make their day they felt a sense of belonging.
A government should create an environment where its youth can build their future in their own state, not feel compelled to leave it🙏🏻 @AamAadmiParty
