All the multiple tragedies that the OTT series Kohrra is built around are rooted in the proud state’s stall and decline over the past quarter century. Punjab is a state in deep decline, living on past glory. The leaders of Punjab have failed it, and its people want out. Watch this week’s #NationalInterest with ThePrint Editor-In-Chief Shekhar Gupta

I wonder how Mr. Gupta manages to watch nearly 7 hours of Netflix series after reading so many newspaper, twitter posst, running ThePrint, finding new investors, doing CTC daily, researching for National Interest, doing Headlines Ke Peeche. You definitely have 48 hours per day and indefatigable energy. I really admire your zeal and stamina even at this age !!
Power of delegation
Like the hard working Modi.
@@pichumanisankar2617 - Bad comparison. Why bring politics here too ? To answer your comment, there are millions who work harder than some of the narcissistic and hate-mongering petty politicians like modi and yet their intentions toward nation building are much nobler !

The state of Punjab is terrible due to refusing capital when Modi tried to reform Farm Laws. Modern-Day Zameendars led a riot in Delhi and regained control of their local fiefdom.
Lol put blame on punjab Haryana up mp rajsthan farmers also included
@@LovepreetSingh-vx4hitrue but Punjab and Haryana took the lead.
@@rutvikrs bro I'm farmer that time i was there i know better idea about situation 🙏
@@LovepreetSingh-vx4hi last time I checked, Punjab was overrepresented. Are you contending with the factuality of this statement?
@@LovepreetSingh-vx4hibrother , it was a middlemen sponsored protest
Anyone who has studied Macroeconomics would know that this phenomenon is not limited to Punjab , it's global.
A City, State or country initially Flourishes due to a variety of factors including Farm, Industry or service. This attracts a larger migrant population eventually building pressure on land resulting in high land costs. This makes new investments less attractive ( Today it would be much cheaper to setup a factory in Bihar etc than Punjab). As a result new industry stays away resulting in economic decline which in turn results in migration .
Western countries are facing same problem as most jobs have been moved to China, India , Vietnam etc due to cheaper labour. This economic cycle will never stop , it repeats every few hundred years.
Even God cannot help those who don't want to help themselves. Remember the opposition to the Agricultural Reform Bill
Farn laws were brought in for the exact purpose of solving this problem but communist and Khaistani terror outfits sabotaged them. If punjabis have jobs, prosper due to farm laws who will support their communist agenda? Who will support Khalistan agenda? Who will convert to christianity?
Right
Haha, hope farm laws are implemented in other states and they flourish 🤣🤣🤣
@@ssd7853 Punjab farmers have been selling products to Pepsi and Ambani for last 15 years. So politicians took them for a ride when framers bill was proposed. So let the farmers remain in same conditions without reforms. In new thx era, 1% of population needs to be in agriculture, far below the present 55% level. Farmers resisted reforms and changes and are now foolishly sitting quite, to,incur loss , to be pushed out of agricultural sector . Capable farmers have started selling their products to corporates without farmers bill
@@RKV8527 yes, let the entire Indian remain in that fix. Reforms can be made states wise if they are soo wonderful.
Haha, so many contradictions in your whatsapp education narrative..
So basically farmers didn’t need the laws as they were and are already selling to corporate without those laws 🤣🤣
People like you are the real Papu’s.
What was the need of those laws??? Or you know it was framed to gradually land grab and just trying to act dumb because that’s what your WhatsApp narrative wants you to become.
Hi SG! Can you please do a similar piece on the decline of West Bengal?
Hha hha, West Bengal is out of bounds for Mr SG. He won’t say anything adverse about that State.
And a similar piece on the aimless drift of Kerala, please?
of course not.
There is NO West Bengal.
It is WEST BANGLADESH.
Also please confirm if our government in their latest army talks with China have compromised land for peace?
A charged and hard hitting episode, should have and could have been a little longer. Maybe part 2 next week. Thank you SG sir.
Thank you, Suneel. But I'm afraid a Part 2 seems unlikely. Thank you for watching and writing in...best wishes, Shekhar
As a person living in punjab this is heartbreaking, the problem is lack of industrialisation of the state, giving subsidy to farmers, most revenue of punjab goes up in subsidy no capital expenditure, punjab needs a new wave of industrialisation to really progress, sad to see the decline of my beautiful state, NRI need to invest in Punjab
Opposition to farm laws by Punjab farmers was not their own movement. It was hijacked very soon by (I) khalistanis, (II) ISI handlers, and (iii) left-liberals egged on by their western handlers. Without the financial support from outside, the farmers would have long back returned to their farms.
The Farm protests were financed by Gurudawaras all over the world. But to Hindu Brahmins who pocket all the charity they get and use it for personal well-being doing this is not comprehendible.
@@pardeeptandon Yes. these BMW driving, gold laden brahmins are the root cause of all our problems. Are you stupid or what ? Do you even know that all the hundi money goes to govt ? and temples are under govt control ?
Do you have proof or just spitting venom here. Like What's apps University.
@@pardeeptandon The Hindu Brahmins supported Farm Laws which would have helped the Punjabi Sikhs.
Instead of thanking them you are abusing. Who is the fool here?
@@daddashikamani 85 % of our media is owned and managed by Brahmins. They had called the farmer's protest being run by Terrorist Khalistanis. Is that helping?
Sg, how do you find time for so many things? Watching a tv series amidst a busy Lok sabha session? You are being very kind. Punjab is actually 19th in a list that includes union territories. It languishes at India's average per capita income level. I hope somebody will be bold enough to revive farm laws.
Revive farm laws?😂 are you kidding as no political party would touch the farm reforms with a barge pole for decades because of the fear of losing votes.
Farms law and land reform bill, both are gone in permanent cold storage. They'll never return.
@@dukhi_aatma372 - because of this even Modi Bhakthas are not happy with him.
@@dukhi_aatma372India needs Manufacturinf reforms and not farm reforms
Problems of Large Scale Conversion, Village Communism and Punjab's economic decline are interlinked. This notion of "Jatts can only be Agriculturalists" Was Promoted by the Punjab Communists and Kisan Sabha movement in 1970s.Also,there is Jatt Domination taken to the extremes- not any jatt but Big Jatt landlords having complete dominance over the politics, and contempt for everyone else... Stiffling the industry is critical to keeping the lower castes at the bottom of the pyramid, therefore the latter are now leaving Sikhism for Christianity lured by material benefits and in hope of greener pastures.
Very well said 🙏🙏 JATT Sikhs are the major culprits of this mess as they hold all the political, cultural, Agrarian and Economic aspects of Punjabi society and these are supported by Panchayats, Civil bureaucracy, and most importantly Film and music Industry. They all glorify their caste but the poorer sections of the Panth are left on the mercy of them. To counter it the rest of the Panth need to stand up against this JATT dominance and first try to get reforms in SGPC and Gurdwaras committees and member elections to save the society as well the beautiful Panth.
Well said. I live in Ludhiana and have been saying this for years. Still people dont realise.
Very sad for any govt not trying to bring punjab up. I am a Tamilian but I know about punjab people. They are very bold and hard working. I always visited Gurdwara Bangla Sahib with my Sikh friend. I was born in 1963 in Karol bagh New Delhi and I was there till 2009. Now in TN. This high time we need a constructive govt in Punjab to bring its glory back.
I don't think Govt hadn't tried bringing Punjab Up, it is just that Punjabis themselves are not willing to move up the ladder and the sad part about this is that they are not even allowing others to prosper.
Ex being Farm Law, it was a step in the right direction but unfortunately their EGOs got hurt so badly(Don't know what were they trying to prove that they were strong and can hold any state or nation to ransom) that they not only stopped this Laws from implementation in their own state but also took the decision for the rest of India.
@@nileshchouhan3904 those farm laws came the wrong way thats why they failed
@@nileshchouhan3904Do you even know what you are TALKING ABOUT?
@@nileshchouhan3904- yes, I remember SG, in one of his CTCs on the farm laws, pointed out that the farm laws would have had a smooth sailing but for the Punjabi egos. The PM should have first talked to the super proud Punjabis before introducing these reforms.
@@pichumanisankar2617I remember him saying that time should have been given to people to debate the bills and government should have convinced the farmers before passing the bills
11:22 "Agrarian Feudal Patriarchy", quite apt term to describe punjab's situation.
Even more than the leaders, The PPL of Punjab have failed to realise the importance of hardwork & industry.
Thank you Shekharji for presenting indepth statistics 🙏
So everything in Punjab is responsible for this sorry state of affairs but the intense regressiveness and casteism that is present in the Sikh religion?
Haha, paid comments like these are best 🤣🤣
Sir,
Let's not IGNORE the Punjabi taste and fascination with most 'things' and 'lifestyle' which in an agrarian and feudal society is considered Western!
I used to cringe at Punjabi pop music in the 90-2010s, my friends from NCR and Punjab used to almost take offence. The themes of those songs were Whiskey, European cars and fashion brands, American gun culture and even the "emotional/sad songs" had sets and architecture that looked for lack of a better phrase "European Mahal".
The same mfs couldn't listen to Carnatic or folk music from other states that I loved, and mock my jazz/metal/classic rock preference. 😂
@@rutvikrs Mr. Gupta used 'Smug'.
Bring a Punjabi, I know what he meant and what you mean as well.
@@hotfun07 lefties and feudalism ruined your state. It's honestly saddening. A lot of the same people I was in touch with are lost in the morass of conspiracy theories from corporate Gujju takeover, they hate Sikhi and new Delhi colonialism.
If it is any solace, you are no different. My state Karnataka is headed down the same path. Free bus rides to women it seems. Could have built a desalination sector with 60k crores in the 3rd most desertified state but nope. Feel good feudal policies rules are the priority. Ugh.
Please do a similar review of the Kerala story. Even Kerala is an important state of of our country. They also immigrate to middle East.
Immigration to Middle East is entirely different. You can’t be a citizen of those countries. So you always comes back after earning enough. Kerala has benefited from it.
By the way in last decade Middle East unskilled job is completely taken over by ppl from UP, Bihar, Bengal etc, which in ‘80 and ‘90s was of great demand in Kerala.
Kerala now faces immigration in higher studies, nursing etc especially to UK, Aus, Canada etc.
@@sujithkumar2041 ok bro. But I want shekhar mama to review Kerala story. Isn't Kerala and it's story important for India?
The Data indicating that one episode on MP is needed. Its really showing some promising data.
Coming soon ;)
I would put Punjab problems to the huge Agriculture subsidies being dished out there. People are not ready to see anything beyond Agriculture. Apparently people are getting enough subsidies to not think about doing anything else. I suggest a bit less of subsidies would be good for Punjab. People with think of new tricks to earn the money.
Shekhar Ji never misses a chance for hammering Punjab. He should know that Himachal enjoys centre sez incentives (baddi nalagarh)and so does Haryana the NCR incentive. Punjab has been thrown to be as a border state with no encouragement from centre. It’s only the people of Punjab who have maintained the laborious and entrepreneurship nature. No wonder why people would migrate than to sulk in an area of limited opportunities and no support from state or centre .
No support are you kidding?
1.Who Do you think receives the highest per capita farm subsidy in the country?
2.And all the mandi committees of the apmc's where does the grant given to them by the center go?
3 who gets the highest amount for all the grain procured by FCI?
4 . Being a border state Punjab recieves additional monetary benefits from the union home ministry
5 who maintains its capital?
Exactly! Punjab have never got the benefits from centre which other states enjoy. It is almost treated like a colony. You can tell that Punjabis are genuinely hard working which is why they have maintained some what decent standard on their own. It is being used for resources. Even during the green revolution, it was being used to feed other states and avoid famines. Green revolution destroyed the way people have been growing crops from thousands of years and implemented a foreign, unfamilier way to farming. Its water is being stolen by other states and it gets no money or benefits for sending its river waters to rajasthan, haryana and delhi.
I think Punjab lacking behind in economy is a big deal but bigger problems are still not being address. Its ground water is on the verge of finishing. I feel like there won't be any Punjab anymore in 15-20 years after the ground water depletes.
@amithabv. Sir I think you are writing this comment without seeing this ctc. Thats the whole point if Punjab wants to develop further it has to leave agriculture as it's main contributor for gdp.
The encouragement am mentioning is in terms of industries and service sector. Haryana and Himachal have better health packages and scheme benefits from pmjay. The taxes related to industries are way less in himachal than Punjab.
The parameters in which Punjab is better relates to the people and their nature.
And abt the point of capital it's still so lame that even after decades we are sharing a capital so just can't blame soley Punjab for this. And also fyi chandigarh as per the new ruling of supreme court has been converted into a heritage city. So there is no question of industries and services getting added to the present model of the city.
Regarding monetary funds as a border state. Its governments role to usher in companies and private sector in setting up plants and creating jobs. Now where would these company go? Will they go to the border areas of bhikhiwind ferozpur where brave battles were fought and yet no infrastructure came in or will they go to Gurgaon and other area of ncr "supported" by the sarkar of the day?
Punjab was the first state in the country where semi conductor units were set up. It was blown up in 1980’s. Other than that, cycles, spares and tools, yarn were made in Punjab. Slowly everything went to other states. Everything can’t be blamed on central government. These industries went during UPA time, dint come back during any other government too. The kind of fixation the jats with half the population to be involved in agriculture is nothing but political tool to control the small holder farmers. If there were any concerns with NRI taking control, right manner is to talk to government and get changes made. Industrial nations are industrial because they are taking benefit of Industrial Revolutions. Sadly not many in Punjab is looking at upskilling to suit requirements. For that matter, Sardars in Haryana are upskilling. It’s good for Punjab and the country. If UP can plan IT hubs out such, so can Punjab. Instead all we hear is Khalistan and anti Hindu stuff
Punjab went into terminal decline when sikhs turned into Akalis. Punjab turned into khalistan and Udta Punjab. Surprisingly this macabre fall of Punjab is being supported by most Sikhs outside Punjab. An otherwise intelligent Sikh will support what a dumb granthi says or what a rustic Sikh says similar to Islamic mullas . The Sikh pegeantery remains doomed. No development in the last thirty years. Punjab development has gone below Indian average. Who is responsible. Primarily the Sikhs themselves. By the way I am born and brought up in Punjab and am well qualified to talk on Punjab
Totally disagree, Langauge used in comment is Pure hatred towards Sikhs. I don't think this self qualified on Punjab even understands meaning of word Akali & has no idea of Sikh issues.
I have not much understanding of Punjab politics. But from an outsider I get a feeling of Hindutva version Akalis in politics. Is politics and religion much intertwined there?
@@sujithkumar2041 Punjab has the highest no of OBC/SC/Dalit in the ENTIRE India. There is data and there is propaganda. You can search for data but propaganda is easier to find. Farm laws is a perfect example of poking your own eyes due to religious fanaticism & hatred.
I live in Chandigarh and have two sons one is working in IT and another is in college. The one who is in IT is amazed to see none of his colleagues is from Punjab as all the youth of Punjab and their parents want them to emigrate. Then the people who are from villages suffer from superiority complex. All they want is good lifestyle. The punjabi is no more hardworking. The governments both SAD and Congress did nothing. The centre govt also does not care about the state as it is not being ruled by them. The tunnel is dark with no light at the end.
Nice summary of what has happened and is happening in Punjab with reference to a OTT series. Good one Shekhar.
Thank you, Siddharth. I'm glad you liked this episode. Thank you also for support...best wishes, Shekhar
The problem with Punjab has been that the CM is always a Sikh Jatt. They are just 20% of the population but they have literally looted the state and run to Canada.

@@harmandeepsingh7662 Tusi eka band ki tai, fer ki tusi sochina
Its the same state who would've benefitted the most from Farm reforms yet they were the ardent supporters who suffer the most from the system. Old cliche line but so damm true
No. Punjab would not have benefited.
Punjab farmers are vested beneficiaries, of the currently broken system, where they get guaranteed tax money and subsidy, for overproducing rice and wheat.
Small farmers in rest of India, would have benefited much more. Eg- tomato and onion farmers in Central India and UP/Bihar.
These selfish Punjab farmers wanted to preserve their hold on Indian agricultural sales, at the cost of others, and even their own future.
Not really here's the proof th-cam.com/video/bJreA_AtGRU/w-d-xo.html
What SG says about Punjabis wanting to leave India is true about the rest of India too. The only thing is Punjabis have been more successful in reaching their goals than the rest of the Indians.
Not every Indian is leaving for the same reason like a Punjabi. Yes, some telugu. But not every Indian.
@@prasadputrevu; People may have different reasons, but the fact remains given a chance, even HNI's leave. The rate of giving up Indian nationality has increased during the Modi era.
@@pardeeptandonlook at the data again it has gone down in the last few years
@@pardeeptandonAnd why are HNI leaving? Because their money is taxed without any returns, only to pamper freebies on farmers that keep growing excess rice, using subsidized electricity.
When your tax money is wasted on unproductive, wasteful endeavours, and you just keep paying with no end in sight, then it is best to leave.
Which goals are you talking about?
APP has given hope to many young people back in 2012..people has high expectations from it..but ,what a sad pic it is giving to nation!!playing same old socialist politics again in this country and people are falling for it..what india needs a thatcher/raegan type of economic policy..kejru simply want to buy votes by giving freebies and no development..
I recently read a news that ,delhi had only 3 cabinet meeting and 10 assembly days for a year..the only thing he is doing is visiting different states in delhi money for party propaganda..its fine but u have to do the homework 1st..but , administration and development of delhi is falling in last 10 yrs..the only big road , building,flyover and tunnel delhi has seen in last 10 yrs is due to central govt spending for national capital.
So true; punjab needs the Agri reforms the most and it’s people opposed the agri reforms the most. This is how socialism/govt controlled prices and false security lulls society into decline.
It's a very very sad state of a region that was once a benchmark of prosperity and agri prowess that was reduced to desperation and depression, though the external picture doesnt portray anyone of these. It's now or never to restore the whole suite of development and opportunity in the state and naturally It's outbound borders in the interest of our nation . Tnx Shekarji for bringing this up to reality 🙏
Other states like Maharashtra, Gujrat, TN, Karnataka, AP went for industrialisation, new age businesses like software development etc and Punjab remained stuck in agriculture. Even textile industry in Ludhiana has been out competed by other states. .. Other states have right to flourish, don't they?. Their rightfully education, industrial policies, capitalist friendly policies have attracted investments, new projects, industries. .. It is a matter of interstate economic competition. Other states have rightfully overtaken Punjab

FIRST PUNJAB WAS DIVIDED , WHY? WHO WAS JINNAH, AND WHO GAVE HIM THIS RIGHT TO DIVIDE OUR PUNJAB WHEN HE WAS A "GUJRATI" AND WAS UN AWARE OF OUR PUNJABI CULTURE.

Almost every Indian wants to leave india atleast punjabis have a way out…..Bihar is much poorer than Punjab and every other state….Biharis will leave india for even African countries
Roughly 4% of Punjabi Sikhs were on rotation protesting against the farm laws in Delhi for one year which is designed to build warehouse, select profitable plants, and sell directly where it would have made difference. They were protecting 1% of middleman whose profit may come down. Don't imagine the Sikhs coming to US, Canada and UK does all kinds of menial jobs and live almost in squalor. So a community is based on drugs, conversion, IELTS will go on its own way. They have become too boisterous and unreal and will not change. So Hindus of Punjab should take a lead and provide an economic growth.
I am really surprised by the data on Madhya Pradesh. It does not get as much coverage. Infact, I would say that it is the most ignored state in the media with regards to the work done and only the NE states are more ignored than it and even for those there have been a lot of media reports with the current governments multiple road and rail expansion projects.
Specially surprising since SSC has been CM for 4 terms and while the last one was a coupe, they did not lose the election by much (less than 6 seats).
There is nothing special about any state or any ethic group in this era. If a group believes that rest of country needs to bow down to their wishes, go to hell. India is a tough country for people who are not well educated.
These people bring biharis to toil in their field because it us beneath their dignity, but willingly do sanitary work in foreign country, why? You demand dignity of work, but are unable to give the same to your fellow countrymen. What a shame.
Actor who played balbir was so good
Mr Gupta has a soft corner for Punjab. Good. To start with the green revolution which encouraged rice farming should have gone to eastern states, not Punjab which is wheat consumption state. In the beginning of the revolution they made big money by exporting to other states. Once other states learnt to grow rice better Punjab could not export much rice. That set the decline. During the green revolution also people of Punjab were rushing abroad. So to say that it's due to current situation is not right
So many accurate statistics, how can you miss the following….
Number of Sikh youth killed between 80s to 93..
Horror of state oppression and it’s devastating psychological and social effects…
Number of rejected industry request in last 39-40yrs…
Economic effect of denying river water of Punjab’s river
Farm laws were supposed to be good for Punjab until your news outlet along with The Wire, Quint etc and Gunda Rakesh Tikait
spread fake info about Farm laws as ANTI FARMER which forced BJP govt backtrack those laws
Print did not oppose farm laws. Check SG’s CTC on the topic.
You clearly don't even watch this channel, you idiot. The clear editorial stance of SG & The Print on the matter was overwhelming support for the much needed reforms. The only fair criticism he did was that the Modi govt. set itself up for failure by initiating dialogue after rushing the reforms in the parliament, and not the other way round by building consensus first as it should have been. No matter how good any reforms are, the reality (sometimes sad one at that) of this country is you can't bulldoze in laws, no matter how good they are.
@@Jaykavadi It is true SG was one of the few vocal supporters of the Farm Laws when they were introduced... But as the agitation started and prolonged the tune changed to " parliamentary procedure .. inadequate consultation ... poor communication ... blah blah " .. Also please see the other reporting on The Print from the protest ground ... Fact is all the news media in this country that write essays demanding "bold reforms" become TRP vultures at the first sign of mobilization by vested interest against the reforms...
I guess when u put pressure on Punjab being 13 why do u forget that punjab is the state without capital and its capital has Punjab major institution and many business are registered in Chandigarh.. rich singers , actors , models , servicemen , politician .. Punjab institution like Punjab high court , punjab university , Chandigarh university they all get counted in union territory .. try to do that with Maharashtra without Mumbai , Telangana without Hyderabad , karnatka without Bangalore .. despite all that the report says punjab has the most 63 percent households in upper wealth quintile that is only low to Chandigarh and Delhi . Punjab has 1 lakh households that earn 2 crore per year that is the super rich category and punjab is at fifth position in india . Punjab has 6 lakh households that earn 30 lakh per year that is 7th highest in country and all other 6 states which are at top have 3 times the population of punjab .. lowest poverty in India , lowest crime .. u trying so hard to just convince people that punjabis are fail while they aren’t .. Punjabis running world banks today .
The same case with Haryana which also doesn't have an official capital. But it has progressed coming out if just agriculture and embracing indutries unlike Punjab which is trapped in over glorification of agriculture and caste specific community
Haryana also doesnt have a capital and shares it with punjab. As some one who studied in Punjab Engineering College; he is right punjab is in decline and I could have told u that in 2013. Its engineering schools are in a decline; it has not tried entering the new industry. It very behind most of the developed parts of India in most technology and industries. Hence students are fleeing punjab either heading to canada or other part of India.
@@anmolmonga1933: Harayana enjoys proximity to Delhi. Moreover, Haryana was part of Punjab till recently and has Punjabi culture.
It is out of my mind, why all punjabis or Sikhs always get offended when someone talks about problems in Punjab. One should accept the truth. It's not the we non Punjabis find it pleasure in seeing down going Punjab, it is equally worrying for us because Punjab is part of India. Every state is vital. I found Jatt Sikh to be full of superiority complex. Khatri Sikh n Punjabi Hindus are somewhat okay. There youth are mad about going to Canada, this unprecedented migration has left deep impact on society of Punjab.
Chandigarh is very different from punjab . It will be nightmare for chad residents to be included in punjab!!!
The culture of city is different.
Liberalization of agriculture is long due in India. Even IMF officially has this stance too. Would have been the greatest economic policy to happen to India and punjab, but punjabi farmers protested against it.
When the partition happened the RSS and gurkha hindus were travelling to west punjab to rescue the sikhs and hindus that were being massacred by the thousands by Muslims, they were the ones that gave the sikhs and hindus in east punjab their safety and dignity back.
Congress was the one that massacred the iskhs in 1984, CONGRESS got more popular while the RSS literally got hate for supporting the sikhs being massacred.
The most criticism i have seen from sikhs is that RSS thinks sikhs are hindus, which is stupid because sikhs are obviously different but this is the justification for voting for all the stuff i just presented. Seems very short sided.
Any punjabis or sikhs agree with me?
Punjabi's are doing fine, those who are pointing towards flaw in Punjab, need to look into their own states of affairs.
When you enter punjab, all you can see is hoarding of IELTS & Canadian Visa. If punjab is doing so well, why are punjabis settling outside in hordes?
Modi tried to reform agriculture by bringing farm laws. I m a farmer and I know it was in our interest. However we know how khalistai, AAp, congress and mandi mafia played well to derailed it. Anyways laws will be back again soon again
Just go and read recent revelations how farm laws were drafted with consulting nri businessmen and Indian corporates and made it a Agro business not even protecting any interest of stakeholders from farmers.

V important subject
Very incisive analysis. Very good. I was in punjab in 70s, 80s and 90,s. And the story was same as described by you in this episode.
Very true. Just visited Niagara and Toronto massive Punjabi population. Probably more this Punjab.
Partition of India destroyed two communities and two state. Both are running in a race to the bottom from where they started before the partition.
Indian Punjab and Indian Bengal.
yeah blame everyone for what happened 80 years ago.
Punjab is mainly a farmers state ...it would be great if you would talk one time with Divender Sharma, who is an Agrarian Policy specialist from Chandighar and fights for farmers upliftment since decades.... solution for Punjab and its people perhaps lies in better understanding of our farming crisis 🙏 Punjabi people will not submit their freedom to food industry , nor will they become beggars to the government for something what is naturally theirs .... where and when did I hear this????? "Freedom is my birth right and i will take it!"
But Punjabi farmers will also, not diversify away from rice and wheat, and keep taking govt's tax money, that whole country is paying. Govt's annual MSP bill is about 80% of the amount of central petrol tax collections.
They will keep depleting groundwater, and overuse pesticides, and suffer cancer, and then ask more and more money from Centre.
Never seen a nonsense argument more than this. Punjab is in this state due to this self-glorification, self-congratulatory nonsense- as if Punjab is the only state in India with valor, bravery, agriculture etc nonsense. Going to Kaneda, working in menial jobs, staying within community there too and sloganeering 'Raj karega Khalsa' with taking part in Anti-India activities seem to be the routine. Agrarian SS Johal to so many expressed their reservations on fast depleting water reserves in Punjab due to blindly cultivating cash crops-but Punjab is more interested in religious fanaticism & 'opposing' Modi than examining farm laws with cool head.
P.S I am from a top 3 states in India in every development index and before u start with ur valor nonsense, my ancestors were capturing nearby countries with fully functioning navy while ur ancestors were learning to wipe their backside.
@@rajx7120 not true at all ...there are a lot of organic farmers groups and movements in Punjab who are trying to make a difference... they grow multiple crops and fruits ..diversification is under way.... with the help of the government or without ....
why is government not supporting such farmers groups which also sell their own products instead of feeding Ambani/Andani
Last month I did binge watching of this series. Totally enjoyed it.
😂😂 Punjabi of the both side of divide have same problem , all good people want to go canadda😂😂 and don’t want to do any hard work here for betterment of state .
This is because Punjabis, more than other Indians, tend to worship Western culture. What a shame, in a land that has produced such great sages such as Patanjali and Panini.
GSDP growth of Maharashtra is even more worrying 😢. It's the economic driver of the country.
Another bogus analysis on Punjab, farm laws, and stagnating economy. Last time I checked none of the Indian states are providing enmass 40,000 USD jobs per year. In Punjab people have both culture, support system, and resources to migrate. So they do. Higher income in Punjab will lead to higher migration.
Beautiful. Thank you.
Punjab (on both sides of the border) has the most fidelius outlook towards the land. Their attachment to the idea of Punjab is so loyal that they’re willing to forgo development and education if it means they can still retain some of that magic about the land.
Sure other regions also love and are proud of the land they haul from but nobody wears it on their sleeve like Punjabis.
It’s both something to admire and also worry about. I don’t know what the solution can be. 😢
I think in general youth of India want to go and settle abroad. They're looking for better opportunities and quality of life. Our cities are in terrible state. As long as the condition of our cities is such, people will leave. Why blame Punjabis alone for wanting to go to Canada/UK? Keralities have been going to middle east for the past 50 years and the dream of most Telugu youngsters is to migrate to US.
Those millenials and GenZ that remain in India are those who don't get a chance or those who aren't good enough to migrate, or they come from so well to do families that problems of India don't affect them as they're so insulated.
Also remember that western countries are hunting for talent. Their population is dwindling and they need immigrants to keep running their welfare states. India is readily providing them both blue collar and white collar labourers. End of the day each individual thinks what's best for him/her. If you get a chance to go abroad, just scoot.
True
Kerala youths are now migrating enmass to europe and us and Auz as students enrolling any of the thirld class cheap Universities and couses in thies countries. Thier ultimate aim is just get a green card.
True. I think haryana tops the list of number of people leaving the country. If not that, It is definitely the state with most number of people going to usa in illegal way. Gujarat comes second
Very true. Patriotism exists only on social media. In real life, everyone is trying hard to leave the country. From my engg college batch, 70% students went abroad for higher studies, never to return. And it's the same everywhere, especially in big cities. Nobody wants to waste their life, their dreams and their kid's future hoping that India will somehow one day will become developed.
I, for one made a choice to remain in India when my H1B was stamped. It was in 2008. India was promising and hopeful and encouraged me to do some thing here.
That’s not the case anymore, unfortunately.
There is hardly any analysis here. Just numbers thrown around. Punjab has stagnated due to no support from Center and constant Centre State fights. Also having a neighbour who pours arms and drugs into your territory to destablise is also not discussed. Highly corrupt govts in past and no industrialisation allowed saying border sensitive state for long time. All blame only laid at the feet of people only. Taking an example of a fictitious series to sell your video will not work. Elevate your analysis!
Ok sir.. you do the analysis sir
The misfortune of Punjab state started since 1947.The state was not given its due since the very beginning. State 's language was not given due status and statehood on the basis of language was denied to Punjab.Promises made during preparation were ignored by infamous "times have changed now" reply by the Nehru, Gandhi clique. The Bhakhra dam and Nangal Fertilizers were developed to feed teeming masses. There was even a move to substitute the Gurmakhi with Devnagari. When it was resisted they highly Sanskritised the language.
Then came 1966, the State was further devided into Haryana by doling all the hilly areas to Himachal , with no State Capital. Chandigarh has been made a bone of contention purposely.
Frustration brought 80s and 90s .
Baddi and Parwanoo in Himachal were developed to shift all small scale industry of Ludhiana leading to unemployment.
At present power and water heads are under the control of the Centre. Unemployment is at peak.
The political leaders of the state irrespective of their party, always and all the time failed its hard working people and played in the hands of the Centre to the changing tunes.
At present Punjab is an absolutely ignored State to fend for itself. Now the question what the youth of State should do, well drugs came handy and for those who do not addict look for greener places abroad. What is here for them. Nothing.
At least they go out, earn the money and send it back.
You journalists are much better educated and very well read.
You know that justice was always denied to the State of Punjab unlike Haryana, a pampered State.
All this narrative comes from your hatred for hindus - you will get what you give to others
So everybody is to blame for the misfortune of Punjab except punjab. All govts in delhi do is to think how they can put down punjab. Come on grow up!
🤣🤣in my language '' A dancer who doesnt know how to dance gave the reason that the street was not straight thats why she couldnt dance''
Media, along with the corrupt politicians who have now come together in the form of an alliance, let the punjabi farmers down - through deceipt, apathy and indifference. With such a pathetic state of affairs, that bum of a CM and his boss in the rAjdhAni are busy calling the PM unpad, 4th pass etc. This is our democracy! God save us
It's sad but true...
very sad
Urbanites can't write or smell what ails Punjabi Society
I literally the whole day to watch Shekhar sir cut the clutter love from Australia 🇦🇺!
Maharashtra is also falling behind. See per capital income see growth rates.
True our politics getting shit every day😢
Many previous study suggest that efforts are required to promote R&D and vocational training institutes to improve the efficiencies of industries. Human development through skill-upgradation and training are absolutely essential for growth.
R&D and education ☕😂
Before that, industries need land and electricity.
The subsidizing of agriculture has made land costly, and cheaper electricity to farmers, come at the expense of costlier electricity to industry, also called cross-subsidization.
All these subsidy policies have ensured that Punjab is good for only farming, and nothing else can happen.
What's the point of vocational training, if you can't get jobs?
ThePrint did an episode in how engg and ITI students were disillusioned by their diploma, as they are no companies to work in.
And why the companies are not there? Because excessive pampering of rice farmers is hurting other sectors of economy.
You don't want to talk about these root causes, and instead give diversionary excuses.
@@rajx7120 well put. Some geniuses don't realise that the service sector is a byproduct of second/third order problems/questions created by manufacturing and industrialisation. Then they wonder why Indians can only innovate abroad and conclude that it's because of Hindu rate of growth, Indian culture, caste, lack of English, greed of the business class, population, low trust society and any other self deprecating narratives.
Excellent analysis
Thanks!
Dear Daya,
Thank you for your very generous contribution to ThePrint.
7:02 how come bihar with such low base below punjab
लालू और नीतीश,
दो गधों की जोड़ी😢
Farn laws were brought in for the exact purpose of solving this problem but communist and Khaistani terror outfits sabotaged them. If punjabis have jobs, prosper due to farm laws who will support their communist agenda? Who will support Khalistan agenda? Who will convert to christianity?
@@MAC-vi7fy if it was so good than why government did not try to convince farm leader, we all know how hastily it passed in parliament BTW agriculture is state matter according to constitution
@@jayantkumar2314 They tried for a 2 years. But these so called leaders didn't budge plus doesn't help that Modiz doesn't have backbone. Ideally they should have been removed from the singhu highway in 30 days. People get shot for such evil acts in china that's why they are 5 times richer than us.
@@jayantkumar2314 UAPA should include provisions for anti development and anti prosperity activities. anyone opposing a law that will result in development and prosperity needs to be incarcerated. Enough is enough.
Sikhism world-wide is very sad story - reason - they played into hands of Pakistan 🇵🇰 propaganda.
Very sad😢
they deserve it
Thank you Sir as always for your valuable insights and opinions. Request one episode of CTC on why West Bengal is the at the bottom of most economic charts yet the West Bengal government always tries to project that it is the fastest growing state. Many thanks, looking forward to your opinion on Bengal.
Good analysis. Would like to get such analysis on Maharastra
Your article made me think, What is it that the farmers of Punjab are getting free? They get FREE Power, Free Water, free fertilizer, free seeds, free insurance, free transport of grains etc. So, the government is giving then everything (almost) & new dispensation is even giving this free this free that to other citizens. When you get so many things for free, where does the state get its revenue, by milking its industry to the last drop. The industry will run away in such a scenario. What happened in Bengal. For 34+ years there's freebee governance & when they tried to change it the Leftists were thrown away. The path to reforms is really tough but has to be taken up. Very little choice. I wonder Punjabis are proud people & still they are dependent on Bheekh being offered by governments. Seriously think of it if a family was paying 800 rupees Electricity bill per month, that's 4000/- per year. What do you get in 4000/- per year, not even a decent travel by a train to city like Mumbai. I mean come on, tell the powers that matter shut the PHOKATIYA thing & do the real governance. Punjab can follow what BJP & INC did for Petrol Subsidy. They just increased it in small bits every month till it was done away (technically). Time to really ask questions. KAB TAK YE FREE BATONGE.
Punjabi's are doing fine, those who are pointing towards flaw in Punjab, need to look into their own states of affairs. Thanks to presence in army, Bollywood, and presence in business across the India they are doing good and keeping undesirable people from out of state.
This is about Punjab, not Punjabis.
Punjabis are doing fine outside Punjab -when you talk about presence in various areas.
But Punjab state in itself, is declining.
What about CAG report ?
Kohrra seems like a netlfix version of Punjab ..I am not saying things are great in Punjab but to make a series representstive of the conditions in a complete region is a bit too much! But elites can do that. They can tell minorities that 'we will tell you who you are and where you are' (supposed to be). Didnt expect this from SG though. Disappointed.
@09:30 you always takes an issue and insert your neoliberal ideology and propagandize your oligarch and plutocrat masters talking point.
Punjab could develop urban and manufacturing sector, but your demand that it has to come at the cost of subjecting farmers is pathetic.
You claim punjab needed farm laws, what reform are you talking? are you talking about your masters from Pepsi exploiting farmers?
What are the much needed? South Indian state developing much faster with education and industrial and urban development, but that did not come at the cost of farmers, no one forced the farmers out into urban area and made them to work in industries.
The progress came naturally as generations grow. The farm reform you are talking about is pushing Punjab farmers into poverty and your oligarch master take over their land, that is the reform you are championing.
And Punjab emigration, that has context you misleadingly missed out, Canada has highest Sikh diaspora that was due to refugee emigration in the 80s. When you have more of your diaspora, it is easy and attractive to emigrate, and that is how Gujarat has became traders state.
You take reality totally out of context and spread propaganda for your oligarch neoliberal masters.
Shame on you. No, the Modi farm reforms are not going to save punjab farmers, it is to exploit them and put them into poverty when Punjab is the major food crop producers of India. STOP you propaganda.
punjab is doing just fine. you think punjabis leaving abroad because of economic difficulties?
haryana is going the same way evej though 'experts' like you think haryana is doing great. I say this as a haryanvi.
I know haryanvi people leaving much coveted govt jobs going and settling abroad.
Truck drivers in us uk earn 10 lakhs a month, send lakhs back. Even IIT IIM graduates dont earn this high income.
Blaming migration abroad on socialism etc is a very surface level analysis. Wait till you see haryana emptying soon
Poor leaderships destroyed punjab.Polititions with no idea of running their state are responsible for punjab downfall.These polititions only interest was not punjab but how to get rich themselves.I am sure oir new CM BHAGWANT MANN WILL SORT PUNJAB .
Same type of craze also seeing in Gujarat for leaving Gujarat and india
Arvind Kejriwal was a sensation in 2012-14. He singlehandedly tore the INC apart and sunk Rahul Gandhi permanently. Modi had the advantage of BJP's pan-India base else; Arvind would have sunk him too. However, Arvind has fallen woefully short. I know many will question what about Modi's promises? I suggest they check the arithmetic. Arvind has stagnated at 9%(impressive for a newbie but far behind Modi). 2014 like Gujarat Model, is the only way to power in modern India. Hanging around with 10th-fail Tejasvi and taking jibes at Modi's qualifications is useless. Unlike INC, AAP holds attraction, is not anti-Hindu, and is free of baggage. At some point, India will grow tired of BJP. AAP needs to make sure that it displaces and replaces the INC to become people's de-facto anti-BJP choice.
Hey buddy any views on the excise policy and the Seesh Mahal ??? The obscene amount of advertising ?? The blatant abuse of Punjab Government resources for party activities?? More than the freebie disease it is the corruption and fraud that is utterly sickening
When haryana was creates from punjab,it had v low per capita,but now haryana is almost 1.5 time gdp of punjab.Aap govt came with the promise to abolish drug mania,but it has done zero.
true
Lol because you are closer to Delhi without gurugram haryana is noting.
Why does every analysis miss to throw light on Sikh Extremism and atrocities on minorities in Punjab which is one of the reasons why labors and skilled workers avoid going to Punjab for work?
JATT sikhs and their feudal mindset are one of the main reasons for this mess, they deny lower castes Sikhs any representation on higher positions may it be SGPC, Govt. of Punjab, Panchayat Elections etc and try to suppress them in the social construct. They try to glorify the caste, drugs, gun culture through Film and music industry which brings more problems to the society. Sikhism and our Gurus never preached discrimination but they shamelessly try to portray their surnames instead of Singh and then claim themselves to the torchbearers of Panth. These are the reasons why many lower caste Sikhs and Hindus convert to Christianity in search of financial benefits and education security of their kids. It's high time we as a Punjab society get our act right and get back the glorious days of PUNJAB back.
The country has suffered due to punjabs stance on farm laws which was fuelled by the opposition
Oh my god Punjabis are leaving , 100s of gujuratis died during illegally entering usa and Canada recently . Obviously Punjabis will go to western countries , if Hindi speaking belt could afford it also would hve been left .. Shekhar g sometimes it’s all about affordability, eagerly waiting for your episode on 34 percent children’s in gujurat are victim of malnutrition.. detailed analysis
Punjab did not get its capital. period. yes please keep bashing now.
All thanks to sikh
E x t r e m i s m
Again an episode on national interest should be done after aap completes it's term for people to understand if their any change
Who is responsible - Punjabi itself a self proclaimed high society and believe themselves as superior to other society. I am itself is Punjabi and from Punjab and knows how Punjabi believe they are best and superior and that itself leads to drugs as they took itself as a thing of rich and to show-off.
Second - Govt. again choose by us Akali dal, congress and Aap - the govt. with no vision. Some how captain Amarinder Singh was good but again in the wrong party took the overall Punjab down.
Third- which you rightly said vision to go outside India again came from the same basic mindset to show-off ourselves as superior.
Fourth - A society who doesn’t give importance to education. In Punjab you have landlords in villages and businessman in cities. None of their children wants higher education.
Fifth - A jajbati , stubborn & aggressive mind set. Doesn’t wants to listen. As you rightly mentioned the farm laws are good for Punjab only but with some politics and those landlords doesn’t want that and put the whole society in stupid agitation.
There needs to be more diversification in the local economy of Punjab. There are so many educated professionals who cannot find jobs. This requires investment and subsidy from the government. The government is failing this great state.
It's not about govt (Way before Akalidal, then Congress or now AAP).. unfortunately with the time, people of #Punjab brought their state to this down.. The govt does what people expect... they chose #Freebies and Jagirdari over #Reform. So they have it.. 🙁🙁🥺🥺
Punjab is gone! Sorry to see a beautiful state going to the dogs!
No one is talking about Maharashtra!
But Shekhar, I loved Udta Punjab!
The WhatsApp political groups that reach every Punjabi household..
Have been successful in abusing the current BJP guv...
But sadly, even more vociferously abused Adani, Ambani that were to invest in cold storage & food processing!
Why can't we just yield punjab and move on? It will solve 2 problems
:-
The only hesitation felt in India to condemn pakistan is bcz of punjabis their "Eko hi hain" is costing our security, if no punjab India can call out pakistan without any hesitation and treat it like any other neighbour, we could even have an equation of USA and mexico border which is good for us.
:-
How much we wanna dumb it down but their is a sense of separatism in every punjabi or atleast sikhs, we are letting cancer grow on us and it is also costing resources which could be better used somewhere else for our future, anyways they are more closer to islamists, in sense they are easy to be radicalized, just trade out PoK for punjab and everyone wins!
Haryana also going that way
