Language used in Punjab Punjabi (ਪੰਜਾਬੀ in Gurmukhi script and پنجابی in Shahmukhi script), which can be specified as Eastern Punjabi to distinguish it from Western Punjabi spoken in Pakistan, is an Indo-Aryan language spoken by inhabitants of the historicalPunjab region (north western India and in Pakistan). For Sikhs, the Punjabi language stands as the official language in which all ceremonies take place. Even though Punjabi is the most spoken language in Pakistan, it has no official status. Punjabi language has many different dialects, spoken in the different sub-regions of greater Punjab. Since the Partition of British India in 1947, the Punjabi spoken in the two countries has deviated from each other, with Pakistanis retaining strong on Persian and Arabic vocabulary through Urdu, and Indians relying more heavily on Sanskrit vocabulary through Hindi. TheMajhi dialect is Punjabi's prestige dialect. This dialect is

    Explain what causes the "monsoon rain season". The summer season in southeast Asia experiences “monsoon rain seasons”. This occurs when a shallow thermal low develops over Asia’s continental interior, and the air within the low rises and begins to flow counter-clockwise. This motion results in moisture-bearing winds sweeping into land from the ocean. The humid air converges with dryer air from the continent, which has an additional lifting effect and brings the air to its saturation point. Heavy rains and thunderstorms result.…

    Monsoon rains, which were seasonal also, provided hardship for the farmers because they had strong winds sometimes. Deposits of rich soil and silt were deposited when there was flooding and they were unpredictable. Some of the world’s tallest mountains were in the North. The Indus River is between the Himalayan and Hindu Kush mountains. These two mountain ranges have the highest mountain peaks and border rivers. Streams and rivers form the Indus River run into the Arabian Sea. The Indus River Valley had very fertile soil to have good farming. The fertile soil is like the soil of the Fertile Crescent and Nile River Valley. In the spring the snow melts in the mountains and flows into the Indus…

    Indo-Canadians

    • 1473 Words

    Canada is referred to as a multicultural country because it openly accepts new immigrants from around the world (Gabor, 1994; Nodwell and Guppy, 1992). It has been documented that approximately 11.2% of Canada's total population identify themselves as visible minorities (Varma-Joshi, Baker, and Tanaka, 2004; Fantino and Colak, 2001). Starting a life in a new country not only brings happiness, but also anxiety and a fear of losing one's identity. Often feelings of being an outsider act as a catalyst for gang related violence and crime, especially in the Indo-Canadian community. However, there is not enough documented evidence explaining why violence is so prominent amongst Indo-Canadian youth. Although there is not enough evidence accumulated by researchers on this topic, based on research that I have gathered about other minorities involved in gang related violence, I will show that there is a tendency for Indo-Canadians to follow the same pattern as other minorities who become involved in gang activities. The lack of academic research on Indo-Canadian gang violence is significant to the practice of social work because it is the absence of research which makes it difficult for social workers to pinpoint key signs of gang violence and how they maybe related to their clients. As a result of a lack of academic based research on Indo-Canadian gangs, it limits one from finding possible solutions to deter future incidents of gang violence.…
