Part 1 of 3
In this episode they discuss the cultural struggles of 1st generation South Asian/Indians in Canada, specifically focused in on Toronto.
At the time this was pretty controversial. - เพลง
So many bandanas. Mad respect to those who came before us and paved the way to a more acceptable future for Punjabi kids today in Toronto
Big difference between 90's and todays kids.
the problem is the kids parents grew up in an extremely ancient and conservative society which is in India. those parents believe the way they grew up is the right way and the indian 5000 culture is the right culture. they have a hard time understanding that their culture is 5000 years old as old as india. they then move to the west canada and america and they have kids in these countries but want them to behave like they are in india. its a culture clash but these parents need to understand if they wanted to stay 100 percent indian they should have stayed in India. they need to understand they are in a different country and should try to adapt a little. no one is telling them to give up their culture but they should adapt. It's good to follow your culture and heritage but it's also good to adapt some cultural habits from the west as well.
I think they can adapt good things .and leave bad things from western culture. Every culture have some good things and some bad.
@@iitn8437 yeah but they dont even want to adapt good western habits
Well said
I swear the girls in the 90s looked way better than today.
Damn right!
They did!! I remember that time very well!
I agree
I was a teenager in 90s and remember all stuff like bally sagoo..apache indian....bombay vikings......limelight club...now im in late 40s...time flew so fast...it was a great era....
Thank you so much for posting this.... Memories
I actually had this one and the Monica Deol one from Fax & I believe it was New Music / EC somewhere in one of my family libraries..... I agree Vik, the memories within are truly awesome mad and priceless..... I still get the BIGGEST laugh admittedly from Pandoori (the guy who was at the Gurudhwara / Gurughar if you would)... Hope I'm not to cruel or sinister in doing this but granted, the question has to be asked. I'm sure that by now, his truly beloved grand children have easily got to be of the ages that many of us would have been in slipping off to venues like the then Marquee (now in fact the Goodlife Fitness found on Coxwell as well as being across from the Dollarama as my memory remains)? Plus, we couldn't forget The breathtaking Spectrum or the many other truly cool and highly incredible locations we would all find ourselves from way back in the back in the day. Anyhow, where it come to those grand kids perhaps reading the story from then perhaps eventually seeing the Fifth Estate Video Story (if you guys are... sorry for my length). I've got to ask about how'd they'd react to the story itself being presented and seen and also, how they would have reacted or responded to their grandfather (be it dada or nana ji) who would have been addressing either their mother / their father....or perhaps their uncle or aunt?.... or even worse for that matter, their non family affiliated uncles / aunts that would in fact be trying their very level best to appear within the truly dear and most greatly treasured base of friends to Mom and Dad.... as those kids across the nation he would try addressing as "pigs" in order to insult I guess we could say here...without any kind of discrimination or displays of prejudice ?
A lot of this is still accurate today
3:02 thats such a pakora uncle answer 😂😂
reality is he is jealous that when he was growing up he never talked to girls or had a girlfriend so he is trying to stop the kids.
he never got a girlfriend in india so now he is trying to stop the kids .
@@jessejames863 looooool
@@Trapah0lic its true. LOL elders grew up in punjab and didn't get to have fun and are jealous and don't want the kids here to have a good life all because they are bitter they grew up in punjab living in some beat up farm and eating roti daal all day with no girls to talk too.
@@jessejames863bro, that's hella true iv never thought it that way but makes so much sense no cap
@@Trapah0lic why do you think these elders were mean to us kids growing up. same shit here in california. they are mean to us because the are jealous of us. they see us living a life they never got to live so it makes them bitter and angry.
Upload part 3

@@jessejames863 you were close..... was actually the 1992 / 1993 area of things...... Man were those such truly cool and awesomely mad times for me......
they should try to find a balance , the parents , children and modernists
children have the right to build their own future
they should but these are parents that grew up in india and came to canada/america in their 30s/40s. the way they were raised in india, they feel that is right and the west is wrong.
As an American who’s parents let me run wild; I wish I had somewhat strict parents like these people. Now in my 30’s my finances, health and mental state suffer daily.
How does that affect day dances?
no you don't . Asian parents are too extremely strict which damages the child. some American parents are too lenient. their needs to be balance.
Suck it up buttercup...30s, not much more to go
What songs they dancing to in club?
Why come to Canada with so many pigs roaming around waiting to impregnant a brown baddie.
What songs that at 1:50?
I wonder if Russell Peters hung out there? Lol
Women and girls in Canada are free to make their own decisions
Come on mom & dad
4:12 most beautiful women upfront and about.
4:12 girl in white is gorgeous
Whatever happen to the rapper precious P?
As my memory goes..... I believe he's still about in the Oakville area..... don't think he's rapping and more though.... Last time I caught up with him was dear god, can't remember truly how far back now??? I do remember at the time he did used to produce the occasional remix or local artist every now and then...
He became a music producer he still works with some big artists today.
These people probably have kids of their own now
Anyone know what year this was broadcast?
In the title dumass
@@Trapah0lic She/ he meant what year exactly in the 90s dumass.not which decade dumass.
@@Trapah0lic bro you are a dumbass!!
@@delsingh5897 I would guess around 1993 or so.
@@at1212b Cheers
I love Punjabi people and food!!!
😃
Looooool
I do respect these parents for several reasons. They knew that there are many more opportunities for young Indian kids to go off track and indulge in a life of drugs and crime. Thats why they had these strict rules. I'm watching this is 2022 and by this time, a lot of the kids in the video would probably be in their 40s or even 50s and I'm willing to bet that they are all disciplined, successful people because of the strict rigorous upbringing of their parents.
the cringe.....my god the cringe....
its cringey to you but thats just how it was back then LOL if you were born at that time you may have been at one of those parties. I think its hilarious and interesting ahahah
@@tattmatter4963 it's not cringey. his mind is just sitting under a rock and his head up his behind, the poor thing doesn't understand life smh, silly zoomers
