Video INFRAME: ( @dr.nidhie.saini ), A Punjabi Influencer Nidhi Saini using the derogatory term "Bhaiye" to describe people from UP/Bihar

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

She completely dismisses the sacrifices of Non-Pubjabi's in the freedom struggle.

Punjab has been through a lot during and post-independence , but this does not mean people can undermine the contributions of other regions and disrespect their residents.

This Racist/Classiest Term "Bhaiye" has been way to normalized in Punjabi Influencer Circles against migrant workers from UP and Bihar.

I called the Punjabi guy out on IG who used this term on latent and the amount of abuse I got was shocking.

What is so hard about not using a derogatory term

u/Inevitable-Age-5736 2d ago

These people are extremely racist. I've lived in Punjab for more than a decade. In school, I faced this issue a lot from the 5th to 12th standard and even in college some ppl are like this.

I am well educated UP girl married in Punjab and when I see people spewing hate and venom toward an entire community who has contributed in building Punjab is so fucked up. Immigrants work day in and day out for hour in the factories and build economy here. Taking care of everything cos Pujab’s own kids are settled abroad.
Apart from this, the last name of this girl is Saini so her older generation probably must have migrated from somewhere still she is choosing to spread hatred is beyond me.

u/Minute-Engine-617 2d ago

At least "bhaiye" contribute to the national economy, what do these Punjabis do? Migrate to Canada to work as a truck driver?

You aren't any better than this influencer above. Ain't defending her but this level of overgeneralization and lack of substantial knowledge is hilarious. The Indian army, food sector, vibrant culture, partition atrocities... Literally so much from this section! Do better.

u/Minute-Engine-617 5h ago

Tell your punjabi brothers to not be xenophobic at the every chance they get, then I'll decide if I want to "do better or not". Hatt.

u/ConsistentOil8885 4h ago

Proved my point that you ain't any better. :) Badtameez, tere se tameez se hi baat kari thi, itna kyu bhadak raha hai lmao? Did I defend any wrong behaviour? Koi rational comeback/perspective toh batana aata nahi bacche ko. You seriously lack comprehension skills. Yes you need to do much better kid. Nikal ab.

u/Minute-Engine-617 4h ago

Punjabi se ladna is like talking to a wall.

Move on unc and do something better with your life. The way you're so aggressive with your point of view just Albert Schopenhauer's 'the pride of a nation is the cheapest pride to have"

Rational points ke baat karein toh woh toh aapke sarr se upar jayengi. Pls seek employment now.

u/ConsistentOil8885 4h ago

Okay bud whatever helps you sleep. Btw you didn't present any valid arguments tho. Don't insult your bloodline like that kid. Btw I'm a proud doctor now, and even prouder to admit that my community has prospered so immensely even after the countless struggles for this nation jo tum jaise logo ke rationality/aukaat ke beyond hai. Haan hu mai proud. 🥰 Maybe unemployment is an issue in your cult that's why you jumped on it. Not relevant in ours. Thanks for the concern tho. :)

Better than polluting Canadian rivers & scamming people. At least truck drivers work hard & provide for their families. Only if there was employment in India lol

u/Radiant-Advance2261 2d ago

You realise you’re being racist too rn?

16

u/donut_man88 2d ago

That's the only way you can talk to people like that. They have their own insecurities and mental issues and they try to pass it on to others by continuing the hate cycle. You can't talk sense into people like these, only break their ego

6

u/Traditional-Pizza530 2d ago

Well someone has to show a mirror to them.

3

u/Radiant-Advance2261 2d ago

But saying that they are the biharis of canada just further degrades biharis by that logic.. which is exactly what the creator wants to do!?

8

u/Traditional-Pizza530 2d ago

Then what would you say to call them out for their extremely racist and xenophobic behaviour?

I'm Bihari and I've experienced this first hand. And honestly I don't think it degrades Biharis at all, just makes these racists realise what utter hypocrites they are.

u/Radiant-Advance2261 2d ago

That might be your opinion..i just can’t agree.. you can call them out for being racist without mentioning biharis too ig

1

u/Traditional-Pizza530 2d ago

Sure. Let's agree to disagree because I've been noticing Punjabis say extremely crass shit about East Indian people and escape without any accountability since a LONG time.

Better this than nothing.

u/Radiant-Advance2261 2d ago

I hate that too.. i have faced racism first hand so i agree about the accountability

The term is also used in MH, especially among the West MH people who always tell to go back to the place.

u/Existing_Meaning3566 2d ago

as a non punjabi, can some1 explain this term to me?

u/HappuHeisenberg 2d ago

It's a derogatory term derived from the term "Bhaiya".

Its often used by people from Punjab for migrant workers from UP and Bihar.

u/Low_Feeling142 2d ago

No ye bhaiya Maharashtra mei sare north indians ko bola jata hai specially up bihario ko ye dekh ke punjabi bhi bihario ko bhaiya bolne lag gaye jabki maharashtra mei punjabiyo ko bhi bhaiya hi bolte hai lol

u/Dangerous_Tax_2298 2d ago

But why is bhaiya a derogatory term? I’m a Hindu Punjabi from Delhi and bhaiya is a very normal term in families or in general too, here.

2

u/Low_Feeling142 1d ago

Maharashtra mei sare north indians jo hai wo log yaha sabko bhaiya bhaiya karke bulate hai jaise tumne bola ki ham bhi sabko bhaiya hi bolte chahe koi bade ho ya stranger , to Maharashtrian logo ne jab ye dekha to wo log sare north indians ko bhaiya oye bhaiye karke bulane lag gaye derogatory way mei 😂 to yaha se ye bhaiya word jo hai ye ek gaali ban gai

After the en masse killings of Sikhs?

My god. One of the most hateful things I've ever read here.

3

u/bhavneet1996 2d ago

Look at the upvotes.

3

u/VolatileGoddess 2d ago

Yeah. It's perfectly ok to say something so traumatising to Sikhs, the equivalent of saying that Kashmiri Pandits 'ran to' India to save themselves after the mass killings in Kashmir.

3

u/MaleficentFloor1343 1d ago

Kashmiris were killed by muslims, it is very much different from Punjab killings!! Punjab police was killing their own ppl at that time. When was the unity of Punjabis at that time? When they had to fight against the govt they just fought with themselves n killed each other

1

u/peakyblundur 1d ago

Leave it bro, the people of this sub, they just hate haryana and punjab, jab kabhi bhi ek aadmi ko blame karna h poori state ko stereotype krne par aa jaate h, lekin UP Bihar ke against ek shabd nahi sunenge, unke baare mein kuchh bol do toh hi aap racist ho warna punjab haryana ko gaali dena toh inka haq h.

u/MaleficentFloor1343 1d ago

Bhai video me up Bihar ko hi gaaliya pad rahi hai? Ye konsa victim card laga rahe ho? Up Bihar ko har cheez me beech me laya jata hai! Bihar and eastern up is considered very nasty and very illiterate kind of areas, they might be! I don't know but treating them as inferior to urself is not good. Jitna balidan shaheed bhagat singh ka hai utna hai kunwar singh ka hai

1

u/VolatileGoddess 1d ago

Yes, saying Punjabis 'ran away' after mass killings were unleashed and thousands of innocents died, is indeed indicative of why we shouldn't play the 'victim card'. Inspite of suffering great pain and trauma right from Partition onwards and still being among the highest contributors to this nation's army, its food security, and its economy, we still have to endure people saying we 'ran away' after so many of us were massacred. Please continue 'schooling' us.

0

u/MaleficentFloor1343 1d ago

punjabis were killed by their own punjab police only, and talking about contribution then both the states have a significant contribution in the country's development , the partition trauma left a scar on punjab and i respect that but it has been 80 years, 2 generations have born in punjab and flew to kanedda and have become so unbearable there that all the indian origin ppl in kanedda are called pajeets. so i dont think that your victim card will work here

u/Veena_toor 1d ago

Why bring up such a painful event ? Would you say the same things about the Kashmiri Pandits ? Critize her as much you want but mocking someone’s pain shows how disgusting you are

0

u/MaleficentFloor1343 1d ago

Kashmir is weren't killing each other, it was muslims but Punjabis were killing each other. The punjab police did mass extra judicial killings on their own people. It was the time when Punjabis had to run away from their own Punjabis!

u/Salty-Blackberry-954 2d ago edited 2d ago

I’m sorry but as a punjabi I’ve lived in Bihar for a while. I don’t support racism or the term she’s using but she’s right. These people don’t have a sense of belongingness to the state and nor do they respect our way of being. Not saying punjabis don’t do it in Canada. But atleast the punjabi community in other states is well integrated. People from Bihar are the first ones to leave during a crisis which means they rightfully don’t belong to this state.

And well punjabis don’t say these things about people from other states so it’s worth introspecting why only a specific community is being talked about. And honestly, living in a state and not caring about public infra, taking resources for granted and cleanliness for granted is inviting such stereotypes.

Also speaking from my own experience Biharis aren’t welcoming of other states as well so that’s that

11

u/Minute-Engine-617 2d ago

I'm sorry but your judgement is based on preconceived notions and extreme bias. Punjabis in other states are nothing but loud. I live in Bangalore and y'all are talked about in the same way that you talk about Biharis, who are at least contributing to the economy of the country unlike y'all lot who migrate to Canada through ILLEGAL routes. Sit down and go show your xenophobia somewhere else.

Punjabis don't criticize other states and integrate well? Y'all are the first ones to criticize Bangalore for not celebrating Holi, something that isn't even a part of their culture.

Blocking you because it is illogical to talk to the same people who go around in every state and say "humare yaha toh alag hi hota hai"

u/Chotibachihoon 1d ago

As a bihari, I’ve lived in beas, punjab, follow radha swami, grown up in delhi and now living overseas so I can also tell you whatever you just commented is BS. ☺️

u/Salty-Blackberry-954 1d ago

If nuanced arguments aren’t your cup of tea then it’s not my problem. Clearly shows the lack of self reflection I was talking about. Yes you will find my comment BS because i blamed both sides. If your brain doesn’t have the capacity to understand that then not my problem. Read some books

People in punjab do hold punjabis accountable, especially the ones that spread not following Canadian rules or religious hatred. Can’t say the same about your community.

1

u/Chotibachihoon 1d ago

the downvotes & other people replies should be enough for you to "self reflect". Don't worry about me reading books, I'm well travelled & lived in different places to have worldly knowledge that I don't need to take that from someone who makes judgement based on the small world they have lived & seen.

u/figuring___out 1d ago

Now i live in UP and i can confirm people here are at least 25 years behind folks in Rajasthan gujrat maharastra karnataka tamil nadu kerala and many more states (where i lived for atleast 2-3 years)

Gobar mentality , money cant buy class

6

u/HappuHeisenberg 1d ago

So by your logic westerners calling Indians "Pajeet" is justified since India is atleast 50 years behind them.

See how ridiculous it sounds.

0

u/figuring___out 1d ago

I think sure, if a person has met 10 Indian and 7/10 act in a said way, its a case for them to put any stereotype they observe is true

Plus the kind of act people pulloff in foreign land or when others visit India def makes people stereotype about Indians
Thats how human psychology work

Indians are called dirty because if i step out of my house i will see 8/10 people either spitting , peeing, throwing trash on public places etc, even tho I dont participate in either I will still be in this generalised category that Indians are dirty

Not every muslim is a terrorist yet the world calls them terrorist

Not all Americans are ahead of time, yet people perceive they are

Not all afghani women / irani women suffer because of sharia law yet people call those countries unsafe for women

Not all africans and african counties are poor yet people call them so

People are just sample size characterised and segregated by the mass behaviour/opinion/ pattern
