 Re: Why it's modern fashion for minority castes in punjab to claim to be Jatts
Punjab's ruling caste is "Jatt" and Jatt have influence on present days Punjab's culture, religion and political ground.
Because Jatt caste has gained high social status within Punjab and some of the other castes want to have the same status by merging into Jatt’s domain.
In Punjabi village's caste system Jatt holds the position of high caste and rest are known as his servants or dependent and this is something which has given Jatts superiority complex and other castes of these same villages inferiority complex.

 jatts in the uk and small turbans
I have observed that jatt Sikhs in the U.K. have started tying small cap type/readymade turbans……something that only the non jatts used to do…….in Punjab no jatt would be caught dead in such turbans…….so why this disturbing trend in the UK ….especially among youngsters…..cant the bear the weight of a proper sized turban?
It is up to the individual (whether Jatt or not) on how he would like to tie his pugh.
There is truth in your statement….but these are people who work in the fields all the time…..come to the towns….you will see the BIG difference in pagh styles…..look at the impeccable turbans the jatts tie…….and the different types of shapes….

Punjabi Jatts are quite proud of their community, as they should be, as everyone should be.
I am guessing you are a Jatt, probably a pakistani punjabi muslim or an indian (khalistani?) sikh, who is ashamed of the low caste origin of Jatts because it does not jibe with your imagined racial superiority over the masses of desis from points east and south of punjab.
Jatt's have traditionally forbidden intermarrage between different castes, and this is due to a certain pride in the retaining of their culture and their sense of superiority.

 India Culture Disucssion chat forums
In essence, Rajputs and Jatts are not really Kshatriya, they very few who were placed into this caste during their time of arrival into India was for one reason only, they shared similar physical build, military prowess, and aggressiveness as that of the original warrior caste, Khatris (Kshatriya).
Most of the Jatts and Rajputs were the actual foot soldiers and fought on the frontline, where as the Khatris and Rajputs were the rulers, kings, military commanders, etc. of their armies.
Jatts, Rajputs and other races (mostly all were mixed bred) came to India from Central Asia (5th-8th century AD) long after the original Brahmins and Kshatriyas (Khatris) settled in India (also from Central Asia, and are considered the original Aryans, 1000 BC approx.).

 India Talking Hindustan network discussion forums
Jatts are mixed breed of Central Asian stock with Dravidian blood, that is why they were considered Shudra, or in some fortunate cases, as Vaishya.
Jatts are naturally proud people, so with the Sikh religion and as centuries passed, as well as the British calling them a martial group, no wonder why Jatts proclaimed themselves to be Kshatriya.
This is where Jatts got the idea that they were of the Kshatriya race, and was mostly started during the time of Maharajah Ranjit Singh, in order to create a rise in pride amongst Jatts.

 Guru Nanak exalts Jats of Punjab
The other castes do not still allow the Jatts the status of Kshatriyas to which they lay claim, and the traditional view, recoded by Skinner at Hansi in 1825, was that they arose out of the wedlock between a Kshatriya and a Vaishya woman.
It is, therefore, quite likely that the Jatts who, in the sixteenth century, were not only entirely peasants but, in so many localities of the Punjab, also zamindars would assert themselves against a social status which no longer corresponded to their economic position.
The Jatts were peasants, and the one outstanding problem of the peasants in the seventeenth century was that they had to bear a very heavy burden of land revenue and a great degree of oppression of the ruling classes of the Mughal Empire.

Thats an interesting take bro, its strange though, the Jatts are actually the "Shudra" caste which basically means the lowest of the low, but the Jatts say they never were inducted into the caste system and that the Brahmans considered all non-Hindus as "Shudras".
Nobody can/should identify themselves as a jatt and a sikh, you can only be one or the other.

Jatts are not the only ones with lands mansions and plots nowdays, hence my belief this is not about material position but more so about existing cultures within sikhi.
It is a fact jatts are a group with customs, and they do happen to make a majority in the sikh religion, hence they do not feel the need to assimilate with other groups who are microscopic in numbers and will inevitably struggle when it coms to marriage issues in the world of rehitvan sikhs.
We have no intrest in jeona maurs or jatts from jattworld.com are not worth the dirt on the floor of the singhs who have walked with their heads on their palms and or singhs who carry out panthic seva.

I understand some Jatts get defensive about this but there really is no need for you to do that - I accept you are not like that if you say so, but it is insulting my intelligence to claim it is not out there and it does not happen.
