Yo peacestead I respect u for bringing up this topic and I totally agree with u. I am also a Sikh Punjabi and I am very proud of it too. I really hate it when they in stupid hindi movies they make fun of us punjabis and I specially hate Johnny Lever for that. Also they don't even show the punjabi guy dressed up properly. Have u ever seen the way they wear the pag (turban)? That is so lame and it upsets me to a great extent. Even white people are better than the rest of Indians because they don't make fun of us Punjabis. That's why I love Canada not India except for Punjab of course. (By saying I don't like India I mean Indian people who make fun of other cultures) and this just doesn't happen with us Punjabis. I have seen this happen to many of the south Indian communities. And then I feel even more angry. If Indians cannot learn to respect each other, why would other countires respect Indians? U know I think all the communities who r made fun of in hindi movies should get together and teach these producers and directers a lesson so they will think twice before making fun of somebody. (I am really sorry if I hurt somebody's feelings)

the reason that sardarji jokes (its generally not punjabi humour just sardarji humour) is seen everywhere is because the sardarji community was always considered a light-hearted sportive community. infact their jokes became so famous because they were a community who could carry their jokes better than others could....(yes sardarjis are known for making the best sardarji jokes)....😊
now when it comes to showing sardarjis as stupid in movies, i would say a better word to use would be hilarious. they might show them ignorant, but always they emerge as good hearted hero's friends in the end....😊

and why is it that all movies in bollywood are punjabi based when punjab is only one of the many states in india...all surnames and families are mehras & chopras (only the rajshris used to make movies on the UP clans). all families punjabis, all songs balle balle/mahi ve (even in movies e.g. kaante that had nothing to do with punjabis), all festivals punjabis.............. its only after the recent devdas that people are even reflecting on the bengali people...i dont even know when they will start considering other states. i still think that sardarjis have a considerable role to play in hindi movies....

what about marwaris? does bollywood even know the difference between keralites, kannadikas, tamilians and andhrites? all they about south India is madrasi and a ridiculous looking man with dhoti and ash on his forehead, idlis and dosas......rajnikanth, chiranjeevi & kamalhassan were not even encouraged to keep foot into the bollywood industry. You say this forum is clean? In this forum i have seen many a member insult south Indians....😭

why, maharashtra is the cradle of bollywood, but the only marathi stuff they manage to show is ladies still sporting the fisherman style 9 yard outfit and screaming "kaay zaala or bhankaas".......gujaratis, parsis none of them are spared when it comes to movies....😭

all i am trying to say is that it is not only sardarjis that are made fun of but all other states as well.... atleast punjabis and sardarjis play a role in bollywood...compared to them the rest of the states are peanuts...

all i am saying is that please think before making accusations😭
