Baanhn Beli History

Baanhn Beli is a phrase used in the Sindhi, Seraiki and Punjabi languages to say that someone is "a friend forever." Literally, however, the world "Baanhn Beli" means hand or arm and the work "Beli" means "Friend" so that a more direct expression of the phrase "Baanhn Beli" could be said to be "a helping hand". On balance, as the two possible meanings are very close to each other, we prefer to use "a friend fore ever" as the more descriptive interpretation of the phrase.
