That's one reason why they call themselves Kandharis and not Multanis and Seraikies. Some of the old temples in the area also point to this theory. The word Kandh in Seraiki means wall. Kandahar used to have many walls. The Hilmand river flowing in that area was labelled "Rud-e-hind-wa-sind" by Arabic manuscripts. Before the influx of Pashtoons the inhabitants of Kandahar spoke Seraiki. The Pashtoons labelled their language "Jataki". The language spoken by Afghan Hindus in Kandahar known as Kandhari is probably "Jataki".

Language of Tank and FR DI KHAN

[edit]

The majority language of Tank and FR DI Khan not saraiki, its pashto and everyone knows that. http://www.ethnologue.com/map/PK_s http://www.aserpakistan.org/document/report_cards/2012/District_report_cards/FATA/F.R.%20-%20D.I.%20Khan.pdf, http://www.financekpp.gov.pk/FD/pakhtunkhwa-at-a-glance/races-a-tribes, http://www.aserpakistan.org/document/report_cards/2012/District_report_cards/FATA/F.R.%20-%20D.I.%20Khan.pdf, Tank District (http://archives.dawn.com/weekly/herald/herald130.htm) has been shown as saraiki speaking by proponents of Saraiki province, however, we know that there were protests in Tank for there inclusion in Saraiki Province, since more than 80% of the population there is Pashto speaking (Bhittani, Wazir, Masud, Kundi's, few Jats etc)tell me if their are anyother major ethnic groups in Tank??, evenmore now after the war on terror. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tigerkhan007 (talkcontribs) 22:29, 17 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Saraikistan vs Bahawalpur South Punjab

[edit]

Although the two ideas of a separate administrative unit in the south of Punjab might seem similar, they are not the same. Saraikistan is the name of a would-be province in the Saraiki-speaking part of Punjab, the idea of which has been promoted since the 1970s, and continues to be to this date, by the Saraiki Nationalist Movement. In turn, Bahawalpur South Punjab was a short-lived idea floated by Pakistan Peoples Party before the 2013 general election in order to attract voters from southern Punjab. In my view, it is fully warranted to have two separate articles on these two ideas (unless Saraikistan is merged into Saraiki nationalism). If anything then Bahawalpur South Punjab could be merged into Saraikistan - and not the other way round as some persistent IP editor wants. So, please do not redirect this article to Bahawalpur South Punjab! kashmiri TALK 19:09, 1 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Article history

[edit]

The edit history of this topic is a mess beyonid repair: identical (or similar) content has variously been created and recreated at Saraikistan, Seraikistan, Saraikistan Movement and Saraiki nationalism, sometimes in sequence and sometimes in parallel. The histories of these articles might contain content worth salvaging. – Uanfala (talk) 18:37, 2 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Uanfala: My full support. I am revisiting this article after a 2-3 years's break and am shocked to see that so much content has vanished. In the current shape Wikipedia contains not a single mention of the independence movement in the area and all the varied political history related to these aspirations. I regret I won't likely have tome to salvage this but maybe someone can help? — kashmīrī TALK 11:16, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Well, this is beyond my sphere of competence and interest, so I don't think I can help. At least on the language aspect of the issues, I've come across detailed studies by Shackle, Rahman and by Wagha, so there's decent amount of literature to start working from. – Uanfala (talk) 11:49, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This Page

[edit]

This page is entirely against Wikipedia policy, because it is criticism in pakistan. And entire Punjabi is against so called saraikistan because it it a foriegn funded movement in pakistan. Well there is no need of provience in Punjab. And some political parties ask for provience South Punjab, not saraikistan. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rana Zubair Punjabi (talkcontribs) 16:54, 31 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

India is also foreign-funded and many people are against it. Do you suggest to delete India article? — kashmīrī TALK 17:03, 31 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Change the Name from Sarikistan to South Punjab

[edit]

The name of this proposed province is South Punjab not Saraikistan. Change it as soon as possible. South Punjab is the name of proposed Province. is any one available for discussion?— Preceding unsigned comment added by Saad Ali Khan Pakistan (talkcontribs)

  • For now:oppose As the link avove states: Prime Minister Imran Khan has chosen to seek the cabinet’s nod through circulation instead of bringing the summary in the regular cabinet meeting for discussion and then approval. The move appears to be a political gimmick, as the government did not have two-third majority in the National Assembly to get the Constitution amended. Beside that, it is a proposal, not a fact. The Banner talk 08:43, 17 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It was called Seraikistan during 2008 to 2010. Now movement for this province suggested the name South Punjab. Before 2018 elections Janubi Punjab suba Mahaz was formed by the defectors of PMLN from South Punjab which is (South Punjab Province Army/group) which was later merged with Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf. This also gives a strong suggestion to change name of this page. They didnt called it seraikistan suba mahaz
Saad Ali Khan Pakistan (talk) 20:49, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The Banner When will its name will be changed in this article?. Seraikistan is not the name of this proposed province. see another link in which proposed province is named South Punjab

When there is consensus among editors about the name. So far, only the two of us are involved and no one else unfortunately. Maybe you should start a separate Request for Comments about this issue to draw in outside interest. The Banner talk 09:24, 15 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
