This Saturday evening during a large party celebrating the birthday of Siri Singh Sahib Harbhajan Singh Khalsa some of the youth from our local sangat did a Bhangra performance for all the guests. A lot of the guests are not Sikhs and it’s always very interesting for them to get a taste of Punjabi culture and seeing the lively and energetic dances.
The boys did some dancing just to the dhol and then the girls came on to the stage a bit after. It was pretty cool how when they were running in from the back of the huge tent past everyone…as people were cheering them on…loud thunder was roaring as the rain poured down.
I recorded this video with my little digital camera so the audio/video quality isn’t that great…but you’ll get the picture.

Hey, shouldn’t is be “Punjab di Izzat” (the honor of the punjab)? Izzat di Punjab doesn;t make sense- the punjab of honor? Maybe I’m missing smth here… :-)
What Can u say about S.S camp. Went with no expectations, and came back having seen a sky of perfection and a ocean of beauty.

Any possibility of putting a download version of it?
izzat di punjabbbbbbb…….. be careful next time guys.
till then enjoy BHANGRA PUNJAB DA.
Actually the name of the group is Izzat Da Punjab, not Izzat Di Punjab. Since this was my first dance with the group I can’t claim to be an expert on it’s history, but my wife Sita, has been dancing with the group for five year or more. What she tells me is that the group is aware that the name is not structured properly, but that the Siri Singh Sahib gave the group this name (Izzat Da Punjab) and they keep it out of respect for him.

(1) IZZAT DA PUNJAB (as applied by YogiJi)
subject = Punjab
description of subject = it (i.e. Punjab) has honour.
One may choose this as a dance group name to propagate the idea that Punjab’s culture (including it’s dance) is governed by principles of honour.
(2)PUNJAB DI IZZAT
subject = honour
description of subject = refers to the honour of Punjab
Alternative interpretation of (2) is:
subject = the dance group
description of subject = it (i.e. the group) represents
Punjab’s honour
Hence neither of these two titles have a structural imperfection. They are structurally correct, but they have slightly different meanings. I would think twice before questioning YogiJi’s intentions!!!! (particularly those expressed in Punjabi, his mother tongue)
