Punjabiyat

Punjabiyat means "Punjabiness"[1] and is the language revitalization movement of Punjabi.

In Pakistan, its goal is to stop the state-sponsored suppression of Punjabi in favour of Urdu. In India, its goal is to bring together the Sikh and the Hindu communities.

The movement's supporters in the Punjabi diaspora focus on the promotion of a shared cultural heritage.[2]
