زمینه فرهنگی

In many Punjabi families, 'Phon chalauna' is often criticized by elders as a sign of laziness or 'vailpuna' (idleness). For the diaspora, 'Phon chalauna' is the primary way to stay connected with roots through WhatsApp and YouTube. The rise of 'TikTok' and 'Reels' culture in Punjab has made 'Phon chalauna' synonymous with content creation, not just consumption. In Gurdwaras, you will often see signs saying 'Phon ਚਲਾਉਣਾ ਮਨ੍ਹਾ ਹੈ' to maintain sanctity.
