About Punjabis in my previous Blog ?
I still stick to the fact that Punjabis are amongst the most illiterate idiots in India …more backward than their behari counter parts …You can never compare an illiterate punjabi guys with their south indian counterparts .
Punjab looks like pakistan anyways…Punjabis also look like Pakistanis & are similar to pakistanis .
Punjabis are the only community known to live off on hype …How many punjabis due you find as cabinet ministers in Congress govt ( except the Pupet manmohan singh ) ? How many bureaucrats do you find amongst punjabi community as IAS officers ?
The community is very similar to their pakistani counterparts in cooking up figures ….live up to their crooked nature .Every body reads about how backward the state is – many punjabis are known to take drugs like Marijuana , they are addicted to all local cheap intoxicants .- take up menial jobs abroad –
A pakistani punjabi comes to the rescue to their indian counterparts cooking up figures on their behalf
Father of Delhi Metro – E. Sreedharan – A tamilian
Father of Electoral Reforms – TN Seshan – Tamilain
Father of Economic Reforms – PV Narasimha Rao – southie
Tamilian brahmins who comprise of just .00001 percent of indian population dominate this country .
Indira Nooyi – Pepsi chairman
Venkatraman Ramakrishnan – tamil
Punjab is actually a very backward state just like Bihar ( except good at cooking up figures )

Most punjabis are small scale businessmen – traders – they lack the brains to make it big.

your statistic is wrong, the number 98% is a bit exaggerating as u do not count the taoist or local chinese beliefs which were also significant in numbers among the believers. I am a Buddhist btw.
Give your answer to this question below!
“…I suppose 98% of chinese are buddhists…”
It’s very hard to get reliable statistics (the Chinese government doesn’t really allow scientifically-conducted surveys or polls). However, reasonable guesses put the percentage of buddhist Chinese at closer to 20-30%, not 98%. It’s much more common in the North-Eastern very rural areas, and not at all common in urban centers.
The vast majority of Chinese, from the best estimates, would simply be called “irreligious.” No religion makes up any part of their life, and they don’t think about it or spend any time on it. Though technically atheists (because they lack belief in a god), for most it’s not a conscious choice that they’ve made based on evidence, it’s simply that religion has never been a part of their life and never will be. Apathetic would be a more accurate term than atheist in their case — they don’t *care* about religion. A fairly large number of those people still practice some cultural traditions stemming from Confucianism and/or Buddhism, but without any knowledge of their religious/philosophical origins, and simply as a matter of tradition instead of religious ritual.
