Great pics, I've never seen them before. Thanks for sharing. ...but I think its important to keep in mind that punjabi does not mean Sikh. Before partition, 60% of Punjabi's were non-Sikhs. And even now there are Hindu Punjabi's and Muslim Punjabi's in Punjab, India. In the women at Harmindar picture, they seem to be wearing saris or could be grare, so I was wondering if u know for sure whether they r Sikh? Thanks
