Sikhs, besides Panjabi languages, also preserved other folk traditions also eg Lohri and Basant. When Baisakhi was neglected in Desh Panjab by Panjabis, Sikhs took it to international level.
It’s good ethnic Panjabi are acknowledge its culture now. Sikhs paved the way by uniquely naming this “Khalsa Sajna Diwas” to avoid confusion with cultural part. We know today mainstream Baisakhi celebrations are essentially Khalsa Sajna Diwas at their core, not cultural.
Similarly, Sikhs did not vilify Lohri or Basant. It was embraced as a Punjabi folk tradition and continued without judgment. Lohri has also become an international.

Vaisakhi is not a SIKH festival it’s rooted in Punjab’s agrarian culture, marking the beginning of spring (1st Vaisakh) and the start of wheat harvesting (Waahdi). For centuries, it was a Punjabi celebration, farmers used to initiate the harvesting with dhol beats. In 1699, Guru Gobind Singh initiated the Khalsa movement on the day of Vaisakhi, giving it a strong Sikh identity. Even after Partition, it continued as “Vaisakhi Mela” in Pakistani Punjab, until later policies under Zia, suppressed such cultural expressions. Like Lohri, Vaisakhi belongs to the land and its people. Some cultural organizations are trying to revive these festivals in Lehnda Punjab 🇵🇰. The real question is: should we revive these traditions, or is it already too late?

“I am being targeted by India for organizing the Khalistan Referendum and for leading protests exposing the Modi government’s role in the assassination of Shaheed Nijjar and ongoing transnational terrorism against Khalistan activists in Canada. Let it be clear — threats to my life will not stop me. I will continue the campaign, stronger and louder.” cbc.ca/news/canada/br…

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this year’s Langar Seva at Brampton City Hall.
Langar, the tradition of serving free vegetarian meals, holds profound significance in the Sikh community and reflects the values of equality, inclusivity and service to humanity.
Hosted by Deputy Mayor Harkirat Singh, Councillor Gurpartap Singh Toor and Councillor Navjit Kaur Brar, the gathering offered a shared meal and an opportunity for residents to connect, reflect and engage.
It was heartening to see so many members of the community sharing a meal, strengthening connections and celebrating a tradition rooted in compassion, service and care for one another.

@GodlyBongs @Handre You are poor and dumb, and you're too poor and dumb to even know it. You live in a racist hellhole and, if you keep up these practices, I hope you all sink into the depths of hell where you belong.

@Handre This is stupid ignorance it shows u have never visited any of the supposedly rural population, we are not struggling with internet connection. Spylink just wants to expend its business territory they are not giving out this internet for free like u how u make it seem

Current situation South Africa, a geographically large country with a rural population of millions of people.
Many areas don't even have a cellphone signal, let alone internet.
Elon: We can give you high-speed web access in all rural areas for less than what your local suppliers are currently asking in cities.
ANC: Sounds great, but you are white.
Elon: I will give free web access to 2.4 million underprivileged children.
ANC: But... you are white.
SA-Media: This white racist doesn't want to abide by our non racist rules. He must give 30% of his company to our black elites for free, fuck the school children.

@patrickbrownont It's not a Sikh festival you Muppet! Its a Hindu festival, and on that day, Guru Gobind Singh addresses the Hindu gathering to form the Khalsa! Do some basic study, bigot!

@MppGualtieri This is all astroturfed. I've never heard of this holiday in my entire life, but now, this year, every single politician is tweeting it out like it's Christmas. All fake, manufactured consent to normalize a barbarian invasion. You disgust me.

Today, the Punjabi community in Mississauga East-Cooksville and across Ontario is celebrating Vaisakhi, a vibrant celebration of spring harvest and faith.
The day marks a deeply significant moment in Sikh history with the founding of Khalsa in 1699, and reflects the enduring values of faith, service and standing up for what is right.
As we also celebrate Sikh Heritage Month in April, it is also a time to recognize and appreciate the many contributions of the Sikh community in strengthening our province.
Wishing everyone celebrating a joyful and meaningful Vaisakhi.
Vaisakhi diyan lakh lakh vadhaiyan!
