Punjab Online
Description
This website seeks to promote the rich cultural heritage of the Punjabi people. Punjab is a region in Northern India and the East part of Pakistan. Its name is derived from the fact that five rivers flow through it (Punj = five, Aab = rivers). The region has a proud history including an old civilization that endured numerous upheavals. Although the courageous people of the Punjab encountered tremendous challenges, they always kept their high spirits and maintained their traditions. Indeed, many major religious philosophies were born and nourished in the region. Punjab Online provides an interactive forum and informational resource on Punjabi culture.
In 1997, I had the privilege of working on the website for the renowned and Australia's only aboriginal band named Yothu Yindi. I enjoyed the work a lot, and in the process, was afforded the opportunity to learn about the Australian aboriginal tribal culture. This experience made me even more conscious of the paucity of Punjabi related resources on the Internet. Learning about the aboriginal culture and history inspired me to learn more about my own Punjabi roots.
I started Punjab Online in July 1997. The original website contained a Bhangra DJ-Mixer, few audio clips, and some articles and links. Since then, I have worked hard to provide what was not available on the Internet, namely a forum for people to interact and to learn about the Punjabi culture. All along my goal was to conceive a site that provides entertainment and culture, yet at the same time, exposes people to serious issues. Given that I was a full-time student who also worked part-time, I was unable to devote as much time as I would have liked to the project. However, over the years, I have kept updating, reshaping, and expanding the site to the very best of my abilities.
