Views On Punjabiyat
Showering praise over the composite Punjabi culture during the reign of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, where Hindus, Sikhs and Muslims lived happily with each other, Shah Mohammad had written that the Punjab was fortunate in having developed and cherished since centuries a long and glorious tradition of such culture.
The mystic songs of Sufi saints and Punjabi poets in particular were the pride of the whole of the Punjab, he had further written. During this reign, all communities reaffirmed their Punjabi roots, he had mentioned.
For him, Punjabi Muslims became a part and parcel of the Sarkar-e-Khalsa (the Sikh Kingdom of Ranjit Singh), whereas they had earlier looked towards Afghans, Arabs, Pashtuns, Persians and Turks and were consequently betrayed by them.

“Political correctness is the natural continuum from the party line. What we are seeing once again is a self-appointed group of vigilantes imposing their views on others. It is a heritage of communism, but they don’t seem to see this.”
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
