Why?? WHY!!!?!?!?

Writing by shinda on Friday, 7 of April , 2006

A few posts ago I posted the Babay doing Bhangra video and someone commented asking me what I have against Bhangra.

Bhangra... The biggest thing I have against Bhangra is the commercialization of it. Now, not everyone will agree that’s a bad thing, after all its promoting and bringing Desi’s into the general public and all that, which is neither here nor there, but what we can agree on is that its allowing everyone the ability to hijack Bhangra.

Honestly I may not be its biggest fan, and I honestly really don’t have anything against other people doing Bhangra, I just don’t like other people making it look so bad. It was bad enough as a kid growing up, seeing drunken uncles two step to Bhangra, but at least they had the excuse that they were drunk. What possible excuse can these people come up with to justify what their doing as being Bhangra??

AHHAHA! No offense to these people or anyone else but I dont think any1 can do bhangra like punjabis. True punjabis. Its like in their blood or something. Its just sometimes sad when other people try, like hindus or even gore or anything, totally not trying to be racist here, Im sure eventually they could get ok at it. But it just doesnt compare to real punjabi people doing bhangra. Thas just something different . . . No one compares no matter how hard they try they just dont have it in them

anyways …

It is quite evident that these people are not punjabi and therefore their dancing skills are not up to par. For a culture to grow, language must be transmitted. Bhangra, since played to tunes and punjabi words, allows for cultural expressions to be portrayed.

I am christian buddhist and dont know so much about sikhism, but I am very interested to learn more about it.
If I contact a Swedish sikh-organisation do you think it is possible to visit them, even if I dont want to convert?
I have so much respect for the sikhreligion.

what do yall think of a hindu Sarina Jain trying to capitalize on bhangra - masala bhangra…this — is trying to play this off as an “indian” thing and she is saying that most punjabis might have a problem with it - “I think that there’s some cultural stigmas,” Jain said. “Some Punjabi (those from the region in India where Banghra originated) will come and criticize, but I’m not here to teach you Bhangra, I’m here to teach a workout.”

you can look her up on

she is there on the lifestyle section if you browse around you will find her the post says “bollywood goes to the gym”

her website is:

I HATE WHEN FREAKIN HINDUS TRY TO COME UP INTO PUNJAB PULL WHAT THE LIKE OUT AND CALL IT “MY INDIAN HERITAGE AND CULTURE” YET WHEN THE SIKH IDENTITY IS INVOLVED WE ARE MADE TO BE ASSES ON THE BOLLYWOOD MOVIE SCENE. I MEAN I DONT GIVE A FLYING —- ABOUT BHANGRA BUT THESE MOTHER—— GOT GET IT RIGHT AND TAKE THEIR FREAKING KRISPY ASSES UP OUT OF OUR STATE AND EVERYTHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH IT. THAT INCLUDES OUR PARTICULAR CULTURAL TRADITIONS AND WHAT NOT - OUR LAND - OUR RESOURSES - OUR FREAKING RIVERS!!!!!! —– HINDUS
