Talk:Punjabi festivals

Islamic festivals
Muslims form the majority of Punjabi population. This article mentions Islamic festivals in a sentence, in the passing, which raises serious NPOV concerns. Please consider expanding those sections for balance, and clarifying which festivals are predominantly celebrated by Muslims, or by Sikhs, or by Hindus.

Thanks Sarah. Will work on your suggestions. (Malikhpur) 16:20, 24 April 2017 (UTC)


 * The article is looking better. Please consider a summary about Zuljinnah, Alam, and Tazia processions on Muharram among Punjabi Shia Muslims. See 1 (pages 87-102) and 1a (page 271 mentions Tazia in Lahore during Sikh and British rule period), 2, 3, 4, etc. Ms Sarah Welch (talk) 21:08, 25 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Thank you. I will look at the suggested books and will incorporate a summary. (Malikhpur) 22:13, 25 April 2017 (UTC)

Hindu and Sikh festival
Please stick with WP:RS. The mainstream sources state Holi/Vaishakhi etc are religious festivals. Yes, a few people from other religions can also observe it because the individuals are secular and culture-driven, but we can't do original research and represent the festivals as having nothing to do with religion(s). Christmas is a Christian festival, for example, but many non-Christians observe it by giving gifts and celebrating the cultural aspects of it. Wikipedia can't state Christmas has nothing to do with Christianity, and declare it as a seasonal festival. Let us just stick with summarizing the reliable sources, and stop original research on human history/festivals. Ms Sarah Welch (talk) 13:40, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
