Bad-ass Maan: Vancouver Is The Death Knell For Big Punjabi Artists
- October 4, 2019
Gurdas Maan Shoves His Who Legacy Up His Ass With Just One “Batti” From The Stage!
In one weekend – Gurdas Maan went from legend to pariah and insulted Punjabi language all around. And he’s still refusing to apologize and that’s disgraceful. But by his own actions of “Batti” up people’s asses – he’s shoved his whole legacy up his own ass and that’s a shame! There is still time for Mann to do the right thing or forever be a Legend with a big shit stain on his back!

VANCOUVER – Vancouver is the place where big Punjabi artists come to die a painful death of ego and much more – just ask Gurdas Maan and Guru Randhawa.
First Guru Randhawa got the ego knocked out of him literally when he began taunting the promoter from the stage and made rude comments to VIP Guests.
And recently, one weekend in Vancouver saw the destruction of Gurdas Mann who went from a legend to a guy who wants people to stick a “batti” up their ass.
It started from Punjabi language debate earlier, in fact much earlier as he had been calling Hindi his aunt (Massi) a while back, which is Maan’s right if he wants to give his Hindi Massi more respect than his mother tongue Punjabi, even though knowing full well that Hindi Massi will never give Punjabi the same respect and in fact some divisive forces in India want to kill Punjabi.
All languages are important and for us Punjabis – it will always be our mother tongue Punjabi even though we live in an English country and speak largely English. Even being brought up in Canada, the best country on earth, since I came here as a young kid, I made a film for OMNI Television called PUNJABI – For The Love Of My Mother Tongue – you can catch it as it’s shown a couple of times a year on OMNI.
While Maan has rightly been criticized for endorsing Hindi as a national language but that’s his choice as he is being courted by BJP for a Rajhya Sabha MP seat and perhaps he’s been brain washed to do Hindi propaganda.
But I could never imagine Maan telling a protestor to shove a folded piece of paper up his ass – that’s not what legends do and no one, not his big fans, should support that as that is shameless and a bigger crime than Maan betraying his mother tongue.
Maybe Maan has gone insane in his old age or brain-washed – but regardless he should apologize for his foul language (which he spoke in Punjabi) to those who he said it to and to all Punjabis!
In one weekend – Maan went from a Punjabi music legend to a pariah and totally insulted Punjabi language all around. And he’s still refusing to apologize and that’s disgraceful.
But by his own actions of “Batti” up people’s asses – he’s shoved his whole legacy up his own ass and that’s a shame!
There is still time for Mann to do the right thing or forever be a Legend with a big shit stain on his back!
