Why is it that my daughter wants to know all the bad words in hindi & punjabi, So our conversation frequently turns into her trying to elicit from me the bad words—I never give in, she has to learn those from her same age Indian/Pakistani friends not from me,  She is my child I don’t care how old she gets, I will not introduce her to bad words no matter how hard she tries.

I agree the words are much more graphic than anything in english and it gives us the ability to curse without people knowing what was said—Ha ha a private joke—so us immigrants have some power and it should not be shared with the public at large.
