DILJIT DOSANJH, SOCIAL COMMENTARY

Diljit Irking Indians? Tuesday!

⏱ Estimated Read Time: 1 minute

Yo, good morning! It’s Tuesday, we’re 40% done with the week, and I’m feeling it. Weeks just getting started. Had Monday off, so yay! But man, the kids were crazy this morning. Dentist and doctor appointments, they weren’t happy and taking it out on everyone. Hope you guys are having a great day.

But you know who’s not? Some Indians, man. I say Indians, like aren’t I an Indian? I’m Punjabi, and it pisses them off when Punjabis say they’re Punjabi. Especially after that video where Diljit brought a Pakistani Muslim fan on stage. He thanked her, asked where she was from, and when she said Pakistan, he was like, ‘Yo, I’m going to let you in on something, I love Punjabis regardless of what side of the border they’re on.’ Showed mad love.

But read the comments to this video, people are pissed. They’re like, ‘Why does he consider himself a Punjabi before an Indian?’ They don’t understand Punjabis have a special pride in their Punjab, they don’t see themselves relating to the whole broader scheme of India. India, honestly, is a patchwork of different nations.

They’re not happy that Diljit has gotten to this mega superstar level status and he’s still, you know, Diljit. Diljit still considers himself Punjabi. He doesn’t talk about India. But whenever he says Punjabi or Punjab, it irks people, man. It’s kind of wild because he’s the most vanilla, safe-type artist when it comes to stuff. So if they’re getting mad at him for this, you got to wonder what’s going on in that water. Anyway, y’all take it easy till the next one. Peace.

Ai Header Image Prompt: An abstract digital art banner image. High quality, highly detailed, visually striking. The composition features a dynamic interplay of vibrant, distinct organic and geometric forms, utilizing a palette of warm golds, deep blues, and rich greens, representing a proud, individual identity. These forms interact with or emerge from a background of more fragmented, structured digital patterns in cooler, muted tones like grays, muted oranges, and subtle purples, signifying a broader, diverse, and sometimes divided national landscape. A subtle, luminous digital fissure or energetic boundary subtly bisects elements of the composition, symbolizing borders and cultural divides. The art should be sophisticated, non-literal, and evoke a sense of complex identity and underlying tension, without being overtly AI-generated. No human figures, text, or literal symbols are present.
