Punjabiyat

Punjabiyat[1][2] (meaning Punjabi-ness)[3] is the name of a cultural and language revitalization movement of the Punjabi language. It also focuses on the political, social and literary movement for preservation of Punjabi literature, Punjabi language and Punjabi culture[4] by unity of Greater Punjab.[5] In Pakistan, the goal of the movement is to stop the alleged state-sponsored suppression of Punjabi in favor of Urdu,[6] while in India the goal is to bring together the Sikh and Punjabi Hindu communities and promote the Punjabi language in regions of Northern India.[7] Supporters in the Punjabi diaspora focus on the promotion of a shared cultural heritage.[8]
