The Siriaki People are from Southern Punjab. The different peoples of Punjab share a relatively common history. This is because throughout its history, Punjab, for the most part, remained a single unit. Therefore, the different cultures and people that Punjab is home to, share some common aspects.
Much like the people of Northern Punjab, the Siriaki people tend to be more direct. Unlike North American culture, where there exists the concept of passive aggression, Siriaiki culture revolves around direct confrontation when needed. One can expect Siraiki’s to spell things out rather than imply leave it to the understanding of others.
Also, Siraiki people tend to be deeply polychromic. This, again, is exhibited by those in Norther Punjab. A good example is time at which attendees are expected to arrive at a wedding. For a wedding that is due to begin a round 9pm, it would be normal for attendees to arrive no sooner than 11pm. This is because to the Siriaki’s time is a limitless entity. They are more concerned with relationships than tasks or time. To add to that, one can expect Siraiki people to talk about time rather vaguely than North Americans. Schedules are malleable and one can expect Siraikis to not plan too much. One can expect things to be done at the spur of the moment than with great planning.
