Is Shahmukhi Script Still Commonly Used in the Subcontinent or Western Countries? How Popular Is It Today, and What Are Some Good Books or Documentaries to Help Me Rediscover Punjabi Culture and the Origins of Shahmukhi?

Hi All. I’m a beginner who’s learning about their heritage and roots. Some of my family advocated to learn Urdu because it’s ‘posh’ but I wanted to stick to my roots! My father is lahori born and his ancestors all spoke proper Majhi Punjabi. As I was born in the West we barely adopted it. Only my father speaks it, my extended family are also Punjabi but adopted Urdu due to their parents superiority complex with it. Same with my mother. When I have kids what am I gonna say? I learnt Urdu because it’s ‘posh’ no way! I will ensure they **honour their roots & heritage deeply**. That’s why I independently found my passion again for my culture (it’s hard in the west bcos parents didn’t teach mother tongue). However as an adult I’ve made the choice to discover the beauty in my Punjabi culture! Unapologetically. Any further tips or facts - feel free to share! Particularly about my heritage-> (or general Punjabi facts & any books or documentaries). Lahori Punjabi Majhi dialect Caste - Arain 🏞️⛴️🌊🏡
