When was the last time you listened to some good Punjabi music? These top 10 Punjabi songs will keep your spirits high and your feet tapping!
Punjabi is a language that originated in what is today Northern India and Pakistan. It has lent its words to many different languages such as Hindi, Urdu, and Sanskrit. The music of this region has developed in tandem with its language, and both Punjabi songs and its culture are rich and diverse. This list of the best Punjabi songs will give you a taste of all that this beautiful region has to offer.
Punjabi language and its history
When was the last time you heard Punjabi being spoken in India? It's because Punjabi as a language has never been the majority one. The original language was Sanskrit, and the majority of Punjabi speakers are followers of Hinduism, and more often than not, Hindi is used as the language of instruction and learning in schools. However, as in other countries, Punjabi has become increasingly popular. People who aren't native to the language enjoy it because of its variety and charm.
When did Punjabi start being used as a language of the Indian Army and therefore of the Army that fights against its own country in a war? That's when it was the middle of the 19th century. It was then that the Sikh Empire expanded and military personnel became more involved with the defense of Punjab.
Punjabi Music- A Brief History
The Sahitya Academy of Punjabi language was established in 1940 to produce an extensive body of literature in Punjabi, the language of Punjab. By the 1950s, the Government of India recognized Punjabi as the official language.
Punjabi music is full of celebrations and has a rich folk culture. The songs that are included in this list reflect these traditions.
