There are many of our sons here who are mature,
I will tell you, they got married locally,
how are they doing?
Okay, okay, good,
okay, very
good,
how many Punjabis are coming?
I feel like they are
also roaming around Anandpur Sahib. It does
n't feel like they have
come to a religious place.
Navraj bai, how much time has passed,
I can say, 11 years,
11 years,
you are also from the old mines.
Then Ranjinder also saw his people
today. How many days have passed since
his people met his people. Look at all the groups of groups.
Today we have arrived in Japan to
see the village of Punjabis and the name of the village
is Sky Machi. It is
located about 60-70 kilometers from Tokyo city and it is
said that the village is a complete
stronghold of Punjabis. There is a Gurdwara Sahib,
Punjabi businesses, restaurants, hotels, dhabas
and apart from that, Punjabis
live and work here. So,
through this blog, we will show you how our Punjab lives and what kind of businesses they have. First of all,
I will show you how peaceful it is, like I
show you Japan, we are completely
peaceful and this village is proper. There is
also a Punjabi dhaba in front of us. I will
take you here and
look at the Punjabi dhaba in front of us.
Similar things have been built by our Punjabis in Japan too.
And that is the name of the
village. First of all, I will
show you the sky machi
and sky machi.
Look at the Punjabi youths wearing bhangra, young women spinning and spinning. The
Punjabi dhaba has opened and today you will be with us. Bye, bye,
Gurdit. Navraj
and this is from Patiala. How are you doing, bai?
Very good, brother. Sat Shri Akal.
Sat Shri Akal. Bai. Are you okay?
Yes, it's good. Chardi Kala.
Today, they will take us around this village.
We used to say that bai was there a few years ago. There are very
few Punjabis living here in Japan.
No, no, Punjabi is very popular, in this
area of ​​ours, there is a village called Sky Machhi, very popular Punjabi. Are
you happy to have come?
How many Punjabis are there left, oh my? There are
about 200 to 250 Punjabis living here. There
are families and single men too.
Okay, okay, and we. Let me tell you. Since
we came to Japan, it has been almost
a week since we arrived and we were
constantly receiving messages asking for Punjabis to meet us. Some
said they live in Tokyo. Some said they were going to do a
tour of Japan before we came here.
We never thought that so many
Punjabis would live in Japan. But after coming here, we found out that
it is a strong,
densely populated village. The entire
village is inhabited by Punjabis. So, let's show you this village. First of all, let's
walk inside and go inside and there is a grocery store.
Now, let's go to the restaurant and have tea. After drinking
tea, we will then walk towards the Gurdwara Sahib
and you will have a
glimpse of the Gurdwara Sahib. In this vlog, I will
show you more about the whole rural life here.
First, let's go inside. Let's
show you what these people
keep here.
Good soap oil shampoo bye ji everything is

Vietnamese from all countries
Sri Lanka Pakistani Nepali they are their own The
food and drink are just a little bit of
We haven't had tea here for seven days since we
came to Japan
and left. The waiter said we will go after drinking tea.
I said let's go and have tea. This is how it is. The
restaurant on this side has a Japanese customer. The
Japanese customer is sitting on the restaurant side.
What do you drink? You
drink everything. You
come to drink tea. You mean you
drink tea too.
What else do you eat? You drink? It's
lassi.
This bhaji is all made into naan. Chicken curry, mutton curry, whatever
they want.
I eat my own food. They
like naan better. Naan better. We
eat more naan. We cook whole
chicken.
So we sit down, drink tea and
eat it. Then we go and
put spices on it. We
don't have to cook it separately for them. Keep the lights on. The rest like it
more. Yes, let's go. No, no, there's nothing to
eat. Tea. We had breakfast at the hotel and left. We came
with tea. We came with tea. Yes,
peas, desi peas, no, no, samosas, no,
samosas. We don't eat anything. Bhaji.
Thank you. Everything is done here, let's go,
okay, laddu laddu laddu jalebis, everything is
done,
jalebis are made,
Japan is no less than anyone, please take it, let's have
tea and then let's go,
so now let's go towards the Gurdwara Sahib
and in Sky Machi, there is only one
main Gurdwara Sahib, by the way, even
in Tokyo it is called Gurdwara Sahib, but
there, the main court that comes, it does
not open and it remains closed. By the way, we had
searched on Google Maps, as
you know, in every country there is a
Gurdwara Sahib or something else, how do we manage our
living? So we came to
know about it here, Sky Machi, when we
came to Japan, we also came to know that this is a village,
and then we thought that one day we should set aside for this,
one day we should show a special village,
so now we are leaving the restaurant,
ahead, we will
show you all the streets of the village, we will also show you the first glimpse
of the villages, because today we have
come to the village for the first time, by the way, is this a town
or a village? Proper,
brother, it is a town, it is a town type, it is not
your own
good town type,
yes,
and I mean a village, I think it will not be here, it will be near the village, yes, the
village will be near, yes, the
village will be fully updated, yes, yes, the
phone is kept,
yes, this landline phone is
still working, yes, it is good to
talk,
everyone uses mobile, then what is the need for it, it is for the
public,
emergency needs are for the public, yes,
we have been looking all over Japan, yes, you will
find enough at the place, whether it is juice or
anything, yes,
every restaurant has come,
Japanese restaurants have come, yes,
okay, yes, so here and there,
Gurdwara Sahib,
yes, in front of Gurdwara Sahib, we walk a little,
now we go to Gurdwara Sahib, it
seems like a village, although it is a town, but it is like a
village, yes, we
can say that,
yes,
this is also a supermarket, yes,
this is also a grocery store, all these
Punjabi boys have their own Gurdwaras. Coming up,
okay,
this village is called the South Hall of Japan
because the Punjabis have their
own stronghold. In England, South Hall is
very popular. Similarly, there are
many Punjabis living here and they have their own Gurdwara
Sahib. You can meet Punjabis walking around the streets.
Now, let's
see how in South Hall, you can find
other Punjabi things.
If
you look back, all the Punjabis in the
streets, because of the Gurdwara Sahib, today
South Hall is better than that. It seems
like we didn't even have
such a village of Punjabis in Japan.
But it's quieter than South Hall. Let's
eat a year from it. Yes,
we will happily walk around and see the rest of the fair.
Now, we should see what is left in the village, which is considered to be the
stronghold of Punjabis. What else
is there left here?
I will also tell you that
this town is a ski resort. And
what is the reason for the high number of Punjabis living here?
Here, Baiji is telling us now that the
most factories, the most
industries, are in this area, so they say that
from the beginning,
this area has been a stronghold of Punjabis. It is right that as many Punjabis as have
ever come to Japan, they work because people come here, they
do it only for work,
not for money, and if they have money, then they can
easily find work here, and so
from the beginning, their people
started coming here. This is what
became the complete hub of Punjabis.
Hello, Mr.
How else can you be well, Khalsa Sat Shri
Akal Ji? Hello Sat Shri Akal, how are
you? Hello Sat Shri

Gurdwara Dashmesh Darbar,

you a glimpse of the Guru Ghar of Japan,
like their own building, is the
Gurdwara Sahib not built like that?
Yes, just like in your own house, you have done it as if you were at home. How is the
Prakash
Skye Machi? Are you okay?
So, like this, this
entire area outside the Gurdwara Sahib, this is the parking lot and on this
side is the darbar hall. This is in front of the darbar hall, we will
walk inside and let you have
darshan. Then we will come out and talk.
Yes,
Sat Shri Akal Ji, how are you doing?
Nanak
Guru,
first of all, on the inner side of the court hall, Nanak
Guru has eradicated the
diseases of the demons, ghosts, and demons. Then, you are
my great master, you are
my great master.
So, here, on the front side, there is a langar hall, yes, there is
only one floor, everything is built in it, the
court hall is also there. The congregation is like a small one, it is
not like other countries,
and all the boys have kept it in it.
Look, how are the boys serving? How are you? How are you? The
langar hall is like this. The entire congregation has
come. They do programs on Saturdays and Sundays. They
say on Saturdays or Sundays. Then the
entire congregation will come. Like on weekends, the
Gurdwara Sahib is like this.
How are the programs? Come on, bai, how are you? And on this side,
I will show you. Here, there is the entire
court hall. And on the front side, there is a little more
accommodation. I think that's how it is. And here,
we entered.
This entrance will be the main gate, the outer side is like
this, the entire
Gurdwara Sahib, let me show you the darshan from the outside,
now a little bit, oh
Japan, this thing is so crowded, this is also good, the Gurdwara
Sahib is open,
it is not like we have

Japan, Japan, yes, I have
visited everything, the country has given me a lot, it's a
very good country, it's a clean country, yes, the
air and water are all good, the people are intelligent, but there are a few more
problems in every country,
yes, it's
okay, yes, the right
thing is, you ca
n't find a country like it, the right
thing is, the
other people are very intelligent, yes, sir, the
biggest thing is
honesty, the rest, there are a lot of
your own people here,
I'm watching, yes, young, not alone,
not old people, many young boys, come to Japan,
look, new boys have just come, bye, all these
years have passed, yes, it's been over a
year, you haven't seen anyone's Europe,
Europe's other, how did Japan become
yours before I was in Austria
Three years in
Austria, three years have passed,
yes, three years have passed,
after that some problem had arisen, they returned, yes, they
returned from there, they came to Japan, got married, got married,
came to Japan, and then
which of these did you like better in Japan and Europe, which one did you like better in Australia?
This Japan is very safe, yes,
Japan is safe,
yes, it is very safe, don't get robbed, it is very safe
for girls, yes, it is
special,
see this, new boys are also here, bye, bye,
where are you from,
I am from Rajpura, yes, Rajpura, my
friends from Rajpura have come, what is this,
Japan is only from Rajpura and Amritsar, yes,
Japan is from Rajpura and Amritsar,
you are also not from Rajpura,
Hoshiarpur, yes, Hoshiarpur, yes, more, bye,
this is
also me and my brother, Baba time has come, yes, yes,
we had time, we came together,
Navraj bai, how much time has it been,
my brother, 11 years,
11 years,
you are also from old Khunda, I
can say then You must have come in small groups
then he
came at the age of 19 yes
who is the oldest person here
who is the oldest in our eyes and the one who stood
in your eyes is
much older than me yes
your seniors are there no not
today anyway your seniors
your seniors yes yes
if I have to mean Japan also
research also since when did our Punjabis come here to
this area like the rest of us the
oldest family
in Kobe branch
yes those Sindhi families good
Sindhi family
second third generation
their second third generation will be good second
third generation yes yes it was like that
when yes the
Azad Hind Fauj which was there
yes then
when it was in Burma
their
yes yes a
bomb had hit and they were
sunk there wherever they were
and as if they had come on the support of Japan here
yes
and then mostly those Saka Kofe who
came there stayed there
soldiers who were all ours They have become
so old, come on, let's say the
Azad Hind Fauj came to
India, you fought against the British,
and at that time Singapore became Japan,
Malaysia became enough, they stopped,
I understand,
most of the migration that has happened in the countries,
yes, it
happened a lot in the First World War and the Second World War,
because when our soldiers went from one place to another,
some of them became martyrs, some did
not come back. We have seen
our memorials of martyred
soldiers in Europe, Belgium and other places, and the Azad Hind Fauj was the one who
fought against Japan, America, England, and so on. The
bombs that were dropped on
Hero Nagai and Hiroshima were dropped
by America, just
like Subhash Chandra Bose had
created,
Subhash Chandra Bose had created the
Azad Hind Fauj. I think
I had seen it on Prime Video, a forgotten army,
meaning the forgotten army that this is. The
forgotten army is a very few people know
about the Azad Hind Fauj.
As
you can see,
Bose did not get this much importance
because at that time the Congress gave a
lot of importance to all its leaders. At that
time, I think he was the
president of the Congress. They did
not allow him to become the president. That is
why he was not a real person. He was
not a person of peace. What do they call him?
He was a non-violent person, a
violent person like Gandhi.
Yes, and the Congress put the non-violent people
forward with the support of the British. The British did
not give him much fame because of this. The
background of Japan is this. If you think about it,
when the first world war broke out, I think that some
Punjabis came here. I think those who
say that the
third family, the third generation, in the war, then I
think that they must have been 70, 70, 80 years old.
And yes, there are so many old Punjabis here. There are
many of their sons who have matured.
I will tell you. Locals have got married
and here is the aunty. How are you? Are you
okay? Yes,
yes,
teach Punjabi to your sister. You can speak
Punjabi. Let me teach you. Let me teach you. Hello,
how are you? How are you? Good, good
Yes, Hanji did it,
ask Bhaji,
we have our Hanji, it's
a little difficult, yes, it's done by getting a good marriage, there's no
choice but to get married,
then later on, there will be comforting visas, etc., the rest of the
marriage is a little good, the good
marriage is done quickly,
that's easy, come on, a little bit,
good Japanese, anyway, they are calm, they fight, fight, fight, not less, less,
okay, thank you, Punjabi, so take it,
now we've seen everything, it's over,
outside, we
talked about money, how about money,
bai, ji,
how many bai videos should we get, give me the money, deposit it, let
me know everyone,
bai, ji, you catch it, then we do
n't give it to ourselves, bai, ji, we serve for free,
no, brother, free, a little, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, we do
n't take any money from us, we take the money,
you, you, keep it, keep it.
Yes, I will collect all of them, the
conversation is over,
everyone will know,
yes, and anyway, you know, Japan is expensive,
our hotels are very expensive,
travel
insurance will be available, why is that? Yes, right, no, it's perfect. They told
me in the beginning, let's go.
We didn't think that these foreigners,
then Japanese or anyone, every person,
like money for work, come here, they say that they will
take you in the video, there is
no money for work. I said, I
said, sir, I already know that there is
money in the video too, this is according to the calculation,
yes, this is according to the calculation, we will
collect lakhs of people and leave now, lakhs of people will come from here, less than lakhs, less than
lakhs, it will become a
bike worth five to seven thousand, my
whole family has come, yes, no, no, no,
brother, what is it, stay away from such things, it's
good, this is love, love, cooperation,
people take time for themselves and meet,
and from Japan, as I
told you, We were also getting messages from all the Punjabis, friends, asking
how many days
we should meet, we have not
even enough time, we are very short of time, we have
come to Japan for only 15 days, the
government has given us a 15-day entry, next
time all these gentlemen are telling us that
you will get a visa which may be five
years long, next time you will get a 90-day entry,
then we will go back and forth,
and so many Punjabis are scattered here, not
in the villages and cities, they are now coming, we are coming to know from them,
who are telling us that
Punjabis are scattered in so many places, and
here is the main city where I showed you,
apart from this, Punjabis live in Tokyo too, they
say, Osaka, we will go there too, Punjabis
live in other villages, as many as have
come recently, those who have got married, stay with their in-laws,
you are here, come, come, this is
your home, this is
your home, I said, where are your in-laws staying,
which Japanese in-laws are staying? Your
hanji hanji in-laws,
how long have you been here?
I have been here for 10 years.
In 2016,
hanji
16. It has been
10 years. Well,
in 10 years, I have
completed everything to become a mature person.
How did you come here?
You came here first, you came to roam. Well,
after roaming, we found the country a little
better.
Then, in the starting, we found a refugee.
Well,
after the refugee, I found a partner. I got
married. I had become mature. Well, I have become mature
here. Yes, I have
not come in the circles of becoming mature or getting married.
That became a reason later. By the grace of God, it becomes a
path. As it happens,
yes, yes,
okay, come on. Anyway, when two cultures come
together, I think the
work is not very complicated. Like in the beginning,
you have your culture, their
culture, your Punjabi, their Japanese, you do
n't understand food, even the food is different. Nothing else,
then the people
said, "
Okay, people, come calm down, come
calm down." Then, as we were
telling them about our religion,
they thought well and were comfortable with it. Even
now, they were calling us to the village. They had already sent us their
message.
Today, they came and told us together. And even now, they kept
pushing and saying, "Let's go to the
village." I said, "We will come to the village." For the first
time, everyone would open a path, just
like you opened a path. When you came to Japan, you came to
your two homes. One was the one who taught me. Who is this? The other was a village. Well, the village
also lives in the village.
Yes, let's go. Next
time, everyone will
meet as many other people as they want. We will meet them too.
Now, let's
take a little tour of the area and show you. Look at
you
today. Today, it seems like you have met your people in Japa Pan.
Look at all the groups. I think it's like
Anandpur. The Lord is the one who is walking around, it does
n't seem like he has
come to a religious place somewhere. There are so many
groups of people walking around. There are no Japanese people. There are not as many
Punjabis walking around in the village as there are Japanese people. In
the evening, today, in the
evening, there is no one left.
Look, your people are walking.
Everyone is walking around
their Gurdwara Sahib. Today, there is only the Raunak Mela and
Navraj Bai. When and when will this program be held?
This festival happens twice a month. It happens
twice a month. The first week and maybe the third week. The
third week. The
first week and the third week.
Every Saturday and Sunday. No, not
everyone. Because there is also a temple here.
Then there are different programs. Something good. Something good. Something good.
Then there are things that are
divided.
Then it would be difficult for everyone. Let's go and
walk and see. Also, the
weather is very beautiful. The weather in Japan is
so beautiful. Ask for another one these days.
She is not the same. The third week is not the first week and the third week.
Let's
show you two
rice and come out.
Show me two, show me what we have to show you.
Now we show you the beauty of our village. What is
our beauty in the village?
Yes,
Aari to Gama. Thank you so much again.
Children, what
happens? Aari to
Gajai.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
We have also learned this by coming here. Aari to
Gajai. Thank you. The
baby is also very calm.
Yes, it's been
six months. Okay, okay. My baby is one year old again. It's a little better than calm. We meet again. It was very calm for six months. My life was very calm.
It went away from my mother and came back to my mother.
I think I'm not a child.
No, my nose is on my father. He has
grown up. Slowly, I do
n't understand. I can say it like a mix.
Half of my mother, half of my father. Bye bye bye.
Arigoto Gajai. Let's
learn how to say thank you in Japanese.
Arigoto
Gajai. Gajai Mas Regoto Gajai Mas
Sat Shri Akal Ji Sat Shri Akal Bye
Bye
