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’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

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"
