If we gather data of countries where more then 70,000 punjabis are living, it will spread in 14 countries and if we gather data of countries where more then 10,000 punjabis are living it will spread in more then 70 countries. If India or BBC are not using it, it is understandable yet why State of Pakistan is still hesitant to use this opportunity? Is it due to the colonial training in which there was not any room for mother tongues of Frontier Forward Policy Region especially Punjabi? Read the piece urself
