Sameer Jee...Humsab is challenging your knowledge of the other Punjab. He knows not what he is saying.So ``jatti`` and ``tut paiNey`` are outdated??
Humsab: yaar saade board te eh dono alfaaz vadday popular ne specially
Jatti ;)

``The women love to call themselves jattis and beat all standing records of talking and making what can only be called noises with repeated use of ``tut paiNey`` as taqiya-kalaam``

Tutpaina is outdated and out of fashion. Not commonly used in this side of Punjab. Even women calling themselves `Jattis` is rare. Actually, most of the women even coming from Jatt Baradari will use the term `Jatakaira` when commenting on some gaudy colours or fashion.

Narration is absolutely fantastic! Great going. Keep it up.

Questions (undoubtedly stupid - please remedy my ignorance):

(1) Which present-day ethnic group has (primarily??) Scythian ancestry? I would guess Pathans from reading this piece.

(2) Similarly, who are descendants of Huns? Were the Hepthalites a different group entirely? What about the Sakas?

(3) Who were the ancestors of Rajputs, Jats, ..., any other recognizable groups of interest?

Yes, the Headless Chicken has to be male...all he talks about is food and women! ;)
