HISTORY

Punjab represents Indian culture dating back to 7000 B.C, when one of the earliest human civilizations, known
as the Indus Valley Civilization was known to have existed in the Punjab region. Over the centuries Punjab has
seen invasions by numerous foreigners including the Persians, Alexander the Great, a few prominent Chinese
tribes, the Mughals and finally the British. With each invasion and subsequent change of rulers Punjab absorbed
a lot of the culture and traditions of the invaders, eventually creating the wonderful amalgamation of present
day Punjab. Besides being one of the leading grain producers in the country, Punjab also has significant hosiery,
textile, and thermal power related industries.

RELIGION

Sikhism, the prevalent religion was founded in the 15
th
century by Guru Nanak Sahib. It was propagated further
by the other nine gurus who were regarded as reincarnations of Guru Nanak ji. Eventually, the tenth Guru, Guru
Gobind ji modified the Sikhs to a community and formed the Khalsa. All Sikhs who take Amrit (the holy
nectar) have to abstain from alcohol, tobacco and other intoxicants and also adhere to the 5 Ks (norms) of
donning a Kach (underwear), Kara (metal band), Kirpan (small sword), Kanghi (comb) and Kes (uncut hair).






3
LANGUAGES

Punjabi and Hindi.
Many people are fluent in English and Urdu.
The Golden Temple at Amritsar is the
most sacred temple of the Sikhs.


CUSTOMS

Punjabis observe many holidays related to all the prevalent religions
present in the country and many dancing and music festivals are held
throughout the year. Vaisakhi is celebrated to commemorate the creation
of the Khasla. Guru Purav for Guru Nanaks birthday. Lohri is to
welcome the spring. In addition, both young and old enjoy sports, namely
soccer football, cricket, and tennis nationwide.

One of the prevailing attractions in Punjab is the colorful and diversified
attire of its people: the silk saris, brightly mirrored cholis, colorful
lehangas and the traditional salwar-kameez.


Despite cultural progress, arranged marriages are still common
in Punjab; and even though it is illegal, giving dowry to the
groom is still very common.

THE PUNJABI LANGUAGE

Punjabi is the language of the natives of Punjab and Pakistan province of Punjab. It evolved during the period of
religious revival in the 15
th
and 16
th
century, by Guru Nanak. It is written in the Gurmukhi Script, which
literally means from the mouth of the Guru, referring to its use in the Guru Granth Sahib, the holy scripture
of the Sikhs.

Gurmukhi character is followed by its Roman transliteration with each consonant to end in a, in the absence
of any other vowel sign, consonant is followed by an inherent a sound (like a in majority), unless it occurs at
the end of each word, when it is not pronounced or is otherwise silenced. Aspirated consonants are produced
with an audible expulsion of breath, non-aspirated consonants with minimal breath. Punjabi for example
distinguishes unaspirated ka and ta from kha and tha. Then there are the dental and retroflex consonants. In
dental the tongue touches the upper front teeth, whereas with the retroflex the tip of the tongue is curled
upwards against the palate. Nasal sound in this text is shown
as n*.

VOWELS

XVowels may take on a long form (top row) or a short form (bottom row); this eliminates the need to write out
the complete letter. Punjabi has three vowel symbols.


oora
H aira
E iri


These are used only in the beginning of a word or as second member of compound vowel. Names are given for
the short form.


H H' lE El Q E E H H
a i u e ai o au

Kanna sihari bihari aunkar dulainkre la dulawa hora kanaura

- how to ask for and tell time
- typical daily activities in Punjab State
- the verbs to go, to study, to play, to work, to watch, to read, to eat, and to get up
- the past tense of the verbs.


1. Listen as the speaker tells time in Punjabi. Repeat after the speaker.

Lesson 5 VALIDATION COPY 1.0 JUNE 2007
Meeting the Family
ulT' F lPB
Parivar nu* milo


This lesson will introduce you to:
- The kinship terms used for immediate and extended family
- How to ask and answer simple questions about family members
- The pronouns who, this, that, these, and those.


The family is the most important social unit. The immediate family includes the father, mother and the
children. The extended family includes: childrens spouses, grandchildren, grandparents, uncles and aunts. It
is very apt for the sons to take care of their aged parents. The girls, after getting married, often live with their in-
laws.

In recent years, the use of English kinship terms has become quite common. In families it is not unexpected to
hear words such as mummy, daddy, aunt and uncle along side Punjabi words for various familial relations.
Terms like aunt and uncle are mostly used for non-relatives.


1. Look at these photos of families. Listen to the kinship terms and repeat after the speaker.

Family Parivar/tabbar
ulT'/ZF
Parents Ma*-baap/mata-pita
P'F'u, P'B'luB'

XThe use of kinship terms in addressing individuals is exceedingly complex. The precise term depends on the
relation, the social context, and factors of age differences between the family members and the speaker.

- Customs and practices accepted in the Punjab State marketplaces
- Names of foods and stores
- How to make purchases in Punjab State (India) shops
- The verbs to want, to buy, to pay, and to take
- The modal verb can.


The currency in (Punjab) India is the Rupee. One U.S. Dollar can
purchase roughly 43 rupees. Paper currency is available in
denominations of 2, 5, 10, 20, 100, 500 and 1000 rupees. Coins are
available in 10, 20, 25 and 50 paises (1/100 rupee) and 1, 2, and 5
rupees.

GNI per capita in India was estimated to be $480 (2002) with a
purchasing power parity of $2,600. The GDP growth between 1992
and 1997 averaged a record 6.9 percent annually, exceeding the 5.8
percent averaged in the 1980s. India is poised to maintain an
average growth rate of over 6 percent.



Shopping Tips

Barter for all items except for food.
Save by not buying at tourist attractions.
Buy reliable (sealed) bottled water.
Buy food that is well cooked.
Stay alive; watch for the abundant moving traffic.
Travelers checks are accepted in any bank.
Use ATMs; do not use street-wandering currency converters.

vegetable store, a bakery, etc. The term cashier is also not known. The owner or the helper in the shop is the
salesperson and does the transactions.

Lesson 8 VALIDATION COPY 1.0 JUNE 2007
Eating Out
F' u'E'
Bahar Khan*a


This lesson will introduce you to:
- Eating out in a restaurant in Punjab State (India)
- Various menu items
- How to order menu items
- Different table service items.



Roadside Dhaba Five-Star Restaurant


XIn Punjab (India), all of the restaurants and the roadside eating-places will have a menu available in English.
It is always fun to try ethnic Indian food sold by the roadsides restaurants (dhabas), a considerably less
expensive alternative than eating at a five-star hotel. A group of eight people can eat at a vegetarian Dhaba for
a mere Rs. 180 ($4.00 US) including colas, etc. Of course, any meat dishes do tend to be a little more
expensive. Make sure that the food is well cooked, and to satisfy the palate, try Tandoori barbeque.


XIndian restaurants clearly specify whether they serve vegetarian or non-vegetarian food. Some restaurants in
India might not serve pork or beef, depending upon religious preferences; Hindus dont eat beef and Muslims
dont eat pork. If you are craving beefsteak, it will usually be available in a five-star hotel.


XIn most households, it is the norm to eat with your fingers, but the choice varies from one person to another.
In a hotel or restaurant, spoons and forks are always provided.

Transportation
ulTlE
Parivahan*


This lesson will introduce you to:
- The verbs of motion
- The ways of asking questions regarding the different modes of transportation
- The different types of transportation available in Punjab State.










161
Trains are the most common and the cheapest means of transportation in India. Air travel is expensive and
mostly used by the rich. For in-state travel, the bus is more convenient.


1. Listen and repeat the following words as you read along.




Airplane Bicycle Ship Bus
T'El R'R P'ElB PPEl R'R FP
hawaee jahaz cycle samun*dri jahaz bus



Car Ferry boat Helicopter
' El F'T Bl'uZ
Car ferry nav helicopter



Motorcycle Taxi Train Truck
PZ P'ElB ZPl ZF Z
motorcycle taxi train truck

In Punjabi, the verb always comes at the end of the sentence. Example: I by bus go. The gender changes: aa
for masculine words and ee for feminine.
Example: I walk-P` uEB R'E' ' (M) main* pedal jan*da ha*.
-P` uEB R'El ' (F) main* pedal jan*di ha*.
I drive-P` ' FB'E' ' (M) main* car chalan*da ha*.
-P` ' FB'El ' (F) main* car chalan*di ha*.
162
2. Listen to the questions and answers about using different forms of transportation. Repeat after
the speaker as you read along.

How do you go to work?
BPl P B lT` R'E ?
Tusi kam te kive* jan*de ho?

Model: who + the verb of motion + mode of transportation + destination
Example: I ride a bus to school.


Model: E lE' lP B '

This lesson will introduce you to:
- the vocabulary related to classroom activities
- the vocabulary related to being a student
- the education system in Punjab State, India.




Students gather outside an elementary
school in northern India before classes
begin.
In addition to school buses, a common
mode of transportation for students to and
from school is the rickshaw.



XThe Indian education system is based on the British system. There is lower kindergarten, upper kindergarten,
and grades 1 to 12. A child is admitted into lower kindergarten at three years of age. Indian Board exams take
place in the 10
th
and 12
th
grades, similar to the O (ordinary) and A (advanced) levels of England. In India, a
bachelors degree requires three years and a masters an additional two years. Basic professional courses take
up to five years, followed by specialization. Also, in Punjabi, there is a clear distinction between the words for

Lesson 18 VALIDATION COPY 1.0 JUNE 2007
Political and International Events
lPH'Pl HB H B'PZ l 'R
Siasee atei antarashtri kaaraj


This lesson will introduce you to:
- The vocabulary associated with politics and international issues
- How they are reported in Punjabi news
- How to read and understand political events written in Punjabi newspapers.


Note: All news media is reported and the newspapers written in English, Hindi and the regional languages in
all States of India.



The government and administration in Punjab are organized along the same lines as in other states of
India. The legislative wing of the State is the Vidhan Sabha or the House of People. In Punjab, the Vidhan
Parishad or the Upper house was abolished in the 60s. The chief minister and the members of his cabinet
are members of the legislature, and they are the top executive wing of the government, responsible to the
legislature. The local government consists of the Municipal Corporation, Municipalities, and Notified Area
Committees in the urban areas. In rural areas, there is the usual setup of village panchayats, samitis and
zilla parishads, though, in practice, they do not wield administrative or legal powers of any consequence.
The judiciary and the executive are separated in Punjab as in other States. However, Punjab shares a
common High Court with the State of Haryana and the Union Territory of Chandigarh.
Currently, Captain Amarinder Singh s/o Late Maharaja Yadavindra Singh of Patiala is the Chief Minister of
Punjab.

14. Working in a small group, come up with similar dialogues, and then role-play them.


15. Study the list of U.S. Army ranks. Compare them with the Indian military equivalents.

XThe Indian Army uniforms and insignias were adapted from the British system, which is comprised of a
combination of stars, the Lion of Sarnath, crossed sabers, and crossed batons. Sikhs are allowed to wear turbans
instead of the standard military headgear.
XThe Indian Army structure is slightly different from that of the enlisted US Army. The foot soldiers (jawan or
the sepoy) have the following ranks: lance corporal (lance naik), corporal (naik), sergeant (havildar), senior
sergeant (havildar major), and the battalion senior sergeant (battalion havildar major). Their duties are to pass
orders down the line, detail men for fatigue duties, to nominate guards, and to distribute and control
ammunitions. There is no equivalent in the US for the naib subedar, the subedar or the subedar major. These
are non-commissioned officers and they hold posts of a platoon commander (company second in command),
along with regular commissioned officers. The Subedar Major of a unit is a very respected, right-hand man of
the commanding officer and he advises him on the state of the men.

These are the India Army ranks with insignias and the US Army equivalents where applicable: Pavel
Mococh.
