  1. Indiana BMV cancels 1,790 non-domiciled Commercial Driver’s Licences, mostly affecting Indian and Punjabi Sikh truck drivers. Learn about the new law, visa restrictions, and potential career impacts. english.mathrubhumi.com/news/w #DriversLicence #Punjabi #Sikh #truckdriver #visa

  2. @MishaVelthuis Another issue, is that Mastodon is only for 13% translated to #Hindi, 15% to #Tamil, 10% #Punjabi, and 5% to #Marathi. Just to name a few. Of course a lot of people can read English but using Mastodon in their mother tongue is a plus. #India has a large diaspora, so maybe those people can be of use?

  3. With all my #JerusalemArtichoke starting to give me tubers & knowing that I’ll have far more than we can ever eat - I did a search for #Punjabi #recipes that use chokes.

    I found one! It replaces #waterchestnuts with the chokes.

    So I’ve asked our #Sikh neighbours if they’d like some & after seeing the recipe, they’re happy to try them in their #meals. 👍

  5. I’m a little sick*, but I’m in the middle of making #lasagne for my better half when there’s a knock at the door.

    Our #Sikh neighbours brought a tray of #pakora with a very #hot, #spicy #chilli sauce.

    My better half gives me the pakora to eat as she & spicy hot don’t get along.

    I have yet to find any #Punjabi food too hot, so the pakora is now eaten.

    I don’t think I’ll have room for lasagne!

    I guess I’ll have leftovers tomorrow. #Dinner

    *I’ve been coughing up a lung most of the day.

  6. Read chapter one of Where Dream Reside by Fizza Younis, a YA fantasy novella that combines myth with Punjabi cultural values and uses magical realism and bring storytelling to life.

  7. Ishtiaq Ahmed (#Punjabi, #Urdu: اشتیاق احمد; born 24 February 1947) is a Pakistani-Swedish #politicalScientist and author. He holds a PhD in #PoliticalScience from #StockholmUniversity. He is #ProfessorEmeritus of Political Science at Stockholm University. Ahmed’s work provides a comprehensive and critical examination of the political history of #SouthAsia, particularly focusing on the #partitionOfIndia and the role of key figures like #Jinnah.

  8. Finally got around to making the homemade paneer last night. Decided to make Paneer Khurchan. One of our favorite restaurants in Chicago (“Essence of India” in Lincoln Square) does it really well and we were craving it. It is not a dish you often see on a menu here in the US.

  11. Audio Etymologies of the Day

    At ancientsounds.net/#five I've just added a bunch of simulations showing how "five" is related to Proto-Indo-Iranian and #Sanskrit पञ्च pancha, from which come #Urdu پانچ panch (borrowed into English “punch”, a drink made of 5 ingredients), #Balochi پنچ‎ panch, #Punjabi ਪੰਜ panj (as in ਪੰਜਾਬ Punj ab “(land of) five rivers”), #Persian پنج‎ panj, European #Romani panzh, #Ossetian фондз fondz and #Pashto پنځه pinza.

    And #Welsh pump, which is not Indo-Iranian obvs.
