About

I am a passionate socio-political and lingua activist committed to revival and promotion of Punjabi language, art and culture.

Ahmad Raza Punjabi has a deep and abiding relationship with his motherland (Punjab) and mother tongue (Punjabi). His rich knowledge of the history and literature of Punjab is commendable. He is a great advocate of education in one’s mother tongue, because “one can express oneself most authentically and forcefully in ones own indigenous language.”

 

He is a founder CEO of Punjabi Parchar Organization and Punjabi Parchar TV. He used both mediums very effectively to highlight the richness of Punjabi Language, Punjabi Culture and importance of peace and religious harmony.

These sponsorship letters were provided to attend religious ceremonies or to participate in different cultural programs. He is a generous and welcoming host of visitors especially Punjabi visitors coming from India, Canada, United Kingdom, United States of America and other corners of the globe. His warm hospitality, especially for visitors of Kartarpur Corridor, Gurpurab, and Vaisakhi Festival has won the hearts of language and peace lovers.

In these interviews he talked about Punjabi language, art, culture and importance of peace and religious harmony.

 

He was invited by Lahore College for Women University as guest speaker to educated new generations about the history of Punjab and Punjabi language.
Ahmad Raza Punjabi is decorated with several awards in recognition of his untired efforts for the revival and promotion of Punjabi language, art, culture, peace and religious harmony. Mr. Aamir Raza, play writer, book author and columnist dedicated his book “MARKS SY KHAIF LOG” to Ahmad Raza Punjabi in recognition of his activism and achievements for the cause of Punjabi Language.

 

Ahmad Raza Punjabi played a vital role for the issuance of official notification from the Government of Punjab about declaration of 14th of March, every year, as Punjab Culture Day. He worked hard for the revival of Punjabi Traditional / Cultural Day such as Lohri and Vaisakhi.

 

But his most remarkable achievement is to get the verdict from Lahore High Court in favor of compulsory education of Punjabi from primary level. He filed and won a case in Lahore High Court against a renowned educational institute against their notification in which school strictly bounded all his students do not speak Punjabi Language in school premises, as Punjabi is considered a foul language. Being a true Punjabi lover only these 02 achievements are enough for him to be remembered in the history of Punjab as Son of Soil.
He has achieved a lot but his untired struggle for the cause of Punjabi language and peace and religious harmony is still going-on. He has dedicated his whole life for the revival and promotion of Punjabi, language, art and culture.
