r/amritsar

Today I felt very reassured in my decision to not live in this city (and by extension, in this country).

I'm 25, female, moved to Canada in 2019 to study, and had been there since. Came home to Amritsar 2 months ago and since then had been feeling very uncertain about where I want to live. Being away from family has been hard, and I was wondering if it was all worth it.

Anyway, went to Brijwasi today with my mom. We were sitting and eating in our car. Empty parking spot to our left, an Innova crysta zooms in and parks right infront of the shops. The empty spot gets filled and now Mr. Innova has no way to get out. What does he do? Gets out and raps on OUR window hard enough to shake the car, and barks at US to move. Both cars to our right and left had drivers inside. Why weren't they asked to move? Because it was men sitting inside. The only car with the female driver was asked to move. The problem wasnt that he asked us to move, he could've done that nicely. Instead he comes up and barks at us "corporation di gaddi hai, para karo".

Mr Innova - Small dick man, I hope you choke on your boss' balls 🫶🏽.

i’m sharing this as i’m going home. i went to the bus stop area near hall gate where there’s a lot of fruit sellers. i’m only 18 and i was wearing something very decent, a tshirt and trousers. a guy near the bus kept staring at me nonstop while i was standing w my mom and her friends, mind you 2 male family members were also around us. i finally went behind my mom and told her that the guy kept staring, she asked me to ignore. just as i thought the guy couldn’t see me anymore and i gave out a sigh of relief, he passed by me FULLY checking me out WHILE i was still standing behind my mom. this is my first creepy experience in amritsar in my 18 years of existence :/ i feel nothing but scared at this point. i thought amritsar was fine in terms of safety, but i guess i’m not right.

kise bhra kol koi gddi khde hove jehri use na hundi hove te sell krni hove please provide information. bhaji gll eh hae ki gddi da chah pura Krna 🫠

What is with Punjab regd vehicles and their obsession with oversized rims and tire sizes?

Saw few Scorpios with 21/22 inch rims and they looked good. But big rims on a fcuking Swift or i10? They look so disgusting.

Not to mention the road sense of drivers here. Fml

Hi everyone,

I’m planning to travel from Amritsar with my family and was looking for a reliable cab service (for local sightseeing and/or outstation travel).

If anyone has good experiences or trusted contacts, please share. Would really appreciate recommendations.

Please DM me 🙏

Hey, I’m in Amritsar right now and planning to visit the Golden Temple. Figured it’d be nicer to go with someone instead of alone.

If anyone’s around and would like to join, let me know. Happy to explore together and just have a good, chill time.

I 28/F m so done with people now

Looking for a genuine female connection .

I’m coming to Amritsar tomorrow to visit the Golden Temple. I don’t know anything about the city. I will be arriving by flight and need recommendations for food (veg+non-veg) and accommodation to make my visit and stay perfect.

The geography of the North Indian subcontinent means that every state or country within, depends on Kashmir for its water needs. Taking this into account would mean Sikhs would be placed in a precarious & vulnerable position at the mercy of Pakistan if an independent Sikh Nation was established.

This is because India & Pakistan's water needs are dependent on both parts of Kashmir.

Sikh separatists usually propose a Sikh nation situated strictly in Punjab or a wider proposal which includes Haryana, Himachal Pradesh & parts of Rajasthan. However, no Sikh separatists include the Indian or Pakistani sides of Kashmir in the proposed borders. In fact Sikh separatists do the opposite & show up to pro Kashmir separatist rallies as well as vocally advocating for Kashmir independence or reunification with Pakistan.

I find this highly suspicious. If a Sikh nation were to come about it would be under the thumb of who ever is controlling Kashmir. If Kashmir were independent or unified with Pakistan; water would be prioritized for the Islamic Theocracy of Pakistan & not the Sikh state. India could not assist in the matter as the newly created Sikh state would be a buffer zone between India & Kashmir/Pakistan and why would they?

This leads me to conclude logically that Sikh separatists are Pakistani funded agents helping to enable Pakistan take control of Kashmir's water supply.

Real Sikhs would not support such an idea as it would mean becoming a powerless oppressed group of people. Kashmir was part of Maharaja Ranjit Singh's empire & he controlled it because he understood the regions strategic importance for water - yet Sikh separatists wish to surrender it to Pakistan???

Now posts about such topics attract many comments from supposed Sikhs (I don't believe they are) in support of a separate nation. I'd like to say a bit about myself for context - I don't really care if no one believes me. I'm of a Sikh Jat background and I would much prefer Sikhs to support the 'Secular Socialist Democratic India' as secularism (freedom to choose a religion or no religion) is what Sikhism endorses. If India is not honoring its own constitution then it's our job as Sikhs to hold them accountable to it not attempt to create a dogmatic religious theocracy.
