| |  | | | We are all Chamaars!!
The Hindu/Sikh World is divided into Zaat Paat..based on ones occupation..
So..a farmer is a jatt..an Ironsmith is lohaar..a leather worker is chamaar.(popularly called Ravidassiahs after the most famous of all chamaars....Bhagat ravidass Ji.) .....a goldsmith is suniaar..shopkeeper is banniah/Arora...etc..etc Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/sikh-sikhi-sikhism/26400-we-are-all-chamaars.htmlReference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=26400
IMHO..since we ALL have a SKIN...we are ALL CHAMAARS !!! anyone care to DISPUTE that ?? After all dotn we spend so much time and effort and MONEY dialy on taking care of OUR SKINS...expensive shampoos, lotions, baths, hair creams, sun bathing...and all this just for a PIECE OF LEATHER that covers US !!
THIS is PRECISELY WHAT Bhagat ravidass Ji tried to TEACH us through his Bani....and not only Bhagat ravidass Ji..Bhagat Kabir Ji..and all the ten nanaks..and everyone else whose Bani is in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji..tried to do the same thing...BUT WE NEVER LEARNT !!

Huck finn ji..you could be right...
earlier only the Brahmins pandits jaats had this "superirity" complex (ego).. Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=26400
now everyone has it...no more "inferiority" complexes ...people are "proud" to admit and wear the labels...is this good or what ?? | | The following members appreciate Gyani Jarnail Singh Ji for the above message. | |

err No.
We all have natural oils in our body so we're TELIS
We can add, subtract, multiply and do various other arithemetic so we're VAISHYAS(or accountants) Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=26400
We all have an immune system which fights diseases so we're WARRIORS
Our body heals itself many times so we're VAIDH
We think about the world, god and other things which don't necessarily affect our body functions so we're all Brahmins
Our bodies get rid of the unused or dirty stuff so we're BHANGIS Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=26400
and the list goes on......
I see what you're trying to do but we're not JUST chamars. We're a mix of everything. | | The following members appreciate AusDesi Ji for the above message. | |

hehe could not have put it better.
Maybe people should read about Chaamar/Churah Sikhs or Mazhabi Sikhs. If they did they would all be proud to be called Chamaar.  | | The following member appreciates Randip Singh Ji for the above message. | |
