Punjabi Diaspora
The Punjabi Diaspora refers to the communities of people of Punjabi origin who have settled outside of their homeland, primarily in countries like Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia. This migration began in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, driven by economic opportunities and political factors. Today, Punjabis are one of the largest ethnic groups in these countries, contributing to various sectors, including agriculture, business, and technology.
Members of the Punjabi Diaspora maintain strong cultural ties to their roots, celebrating festivals such as Baisakhi and Lohri. They often engage in community activities, promoting Punjabi language and traditions while also integrating into their host societies. This blend of cultures enriches both the diaspora and the local communities where they reside.
