That's true contribution to the "Bhangra" music from
India is almost NILL.
How about rec.music.punjab.bhangra
or
rec.music.punjabi.bhangra

Its up to debate whethere this fits better or not ( and thats
exactly the purpose of a CFD ) . However it is perfectly
acceptable name .

How can you say that ? Isn't India (Punjab) the place where
Bhangra originated ?? It may be true that you do not get any of
the "modern" Bhangra music from India , but India is the home
of "traditional" Bhangra music .

# What is Bhangra music,
# Bhangra actually means a type of folk dance not music.
# Music associated with this dance could be called Bhangra
# music and that's what the people from UK, Canada have done
# when they started producing Punjabi modern music, calling it
# Bhangra music.
Wasn't music associated with Bhangra way before people
from UK , Canada etc produced modern Bhangra music ????
Isn't the traditional music which accompied the Bhangra
dance the real Bhangra music ??

The view that contribution of India to Bhangra has been NILL, is really
laughable :-))) If someone were to say, Japan has contributed to
Buddhism, I won't deny it completely, since Buddhism has stayed in
Japan for CENTURIES to have got SOME "local" influence within Japan.
But to say that within a decade or two of UK/Canada Bhangra, that India
has NILL contribution to Bhangra, BUT UK, Canada etc have more is ridiculous.
Even though the Bhangra musicians of UK/Canada may be citizens of the
respcetive countries and may or may not be Indian in origin,

I guess, here what Bajwa or whoever posted before, is trying to make,
is that Bhangra is a dance first. Of course, no dance can be without
music, since music sets the timing (at least in Indian dances) but
Bhangra as music (rather than as dance) is a new development (maybe)
and THERE Indian musicians don't have much to contribute. This last
statement is not mine, I am trying to interpret for Bajwa.

We can all say it cause Punjab came first then Bhangra and last a nation
called India which not all Sikhs and Punjabi's call thier homeland. Listen
to Punjabi songs and they will talk about Khalistan sometimes but never
India. They will all speck of nation of Punjab.example>>most boilyan, Mah
gabroo desh(country) punjab da<<
