Preserving Heritage Through Community Radio
Bringing children on live radio to recite Punjabi chutkule, boliyan, and bujaratan plays a vital role in language retention for second-generation immigrants. શੋਅ ਦੌਰਾਨ ਬੱਚਿਆਂ ਦਾ ਇਹ ਉਤਸ਼ਾਹ ਇਹ ਸਾਬਤ ਕਰਦਾ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਸਾਡੀ ਨਵੀਂ ਪੀੜ੍ਹੀ ਆਪਣੀ ਮਾਂ-ਬੋਲੀ ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਨਾਲ ਕਿੰਨੀ ਗੂੜ੍ਹੀ ਜੁੜੀ ਹੋਈ ਹੈ।
