Punjabiyat
Punjabiyat (meaning Punjabi-ness)[1] is the name of the language revitalization movement of the Punjabi language. In Pakistan, the goal of the movement is to stop the state-sponsored suppression of Punjabi in favor of Urdu, while in India the goal is to bring together the Sikh and Hindu communities. Supporters in the Punjabi diaspora focus on the promotion of a shared cultural heritage.[2]
