Brahmins were relegated to an inferior social position, with their traditional job of recording lineages being taken over by Mirasis.
Rajputs simply exist as one of many zameendar biradaris alongside Jatts, Gujjars, Arains, Awans, etc. of whom the latter 2 are entirely Muslim

Ignoring the fact that this is a jeet role-playing, Punjab had a social hierarchy of zameendars (of whom a majority are Muslim) vs. artisan groups (kammis). Varna doesn't exist. Kshatriya, Vaishya, Shudra — these are terms of which the Punjabi Muslim simply isn't aware of.

One of the most uncomfortable facts Punjabi Muslims find hard to accept is that the majority of us were actually low castes who accepted Islam to escape the caste system.

"The love of Panjab has made me restless,
Because the mark of the Friend is in Panjab.
Know that my Kaaba is the venerable Lahore,
My prostration is directed towards that mihrab."
—Dara Shikoh

One cannot look at the Badshahi Mosque without remembering Dara Shikoh, Lahore’s beloved prince. The red stone that now touches the foreheads of worshippers was to be laid for the feet of a prince on his way to meet his Mehboob, Mian Mir ❤️

It's true; Upper Punjab has long exploited South Punjab just like this one 👇
When the FBR Chairman attempted to tax the feudal lords of South Punjab, they united across party lines and threatened to topple the government by forming a coalition.

Should South Punjab become a province?

Pakistani YouTubers often produce content without conducting even basic research. This particular individual has created an entire show based on the flawed assumption that a South Punjab province is necessary simply because Multan is far from Lahore. Had he spent just 15 minutes on research, he would have discovered that Multan already hosts the South Punjab Secretariat and functions as the administrative center for the region for several years now. Budget is already devolved as well… entire show without any basic reserach..

South Punjab's grievances are that the administration is away from them whereas the entire administration is in Karachi. You can not demand a province simply on the racist hateful idea that, "We don't want Sindhis in power in Sindh".

Punjabis make up:
• Roughly 70% of the Pakistan Army & 7% of the Indian Army (while comprising only 2.3% of the Indian population)
• 9 out of 11 Nishan-e-Haider recipients & 7 of 21 Param Vir Chakra recipients — the highest military awards in Pakistan & India respectively.

The martial archetype, deeply embedded in the folk-poetry of the Potohar—that land of warriors, which continues to furnish the bulk of Pakistan's finest soldiery—is frequently represented in it's 'mahiyas' - being an important aspect of the traditionally idealised male lover.

māhi ماہی -- originally meaning a herder of buffaloes; Ranjha's chosen occupation out of his love for Hir. Related to مہیں (female buffalo) Interesting how the word evolved to signify a beloved, lover or paramour & lent it's name to an entire genre of Punjabi poetry - 'māhiya'

and warning of afterlife dangers for those neglecting it's protection.
The great irony of course, is that Urdu & Hindi are ultimately registers of the same language-Hindustani-the native language of many hundred millions of Hindus, far more numerous than it's Muslim speakers.

for Punjabi Muslims to follow, which increased in pace with the formation of Pakistan & adoption of Urdu as a national language.

Causes behind adoption of Urdu by upper class Punjabi Muslims were to some degree the result of concerted effort by North Indian Muslim clergy, elites & other partisans, in combination with Urdu's esteemed status under the British, eventually setting a "trend"

There is quite an interesting and underrated connection between the dress-code of the Khalsa and Pashtuns; Guru Gobind reportedly adopted the traditional Afghan garb as the Khalsa uniform in honour of a loyal band of Afghans who "escorted him with perfect safety and honour"

Trouser-like garments, called suthan in Punjabi [derived from Sanskrit svasthana] have been documentably worn in North India since at least the 3rd century B.C. Furthermore, the modern shalwar kamiz has had much influence, and spread to neighbouring regions from Punjab. [1/6]
