[QUOTE="Tejwant Singh1, post: 146408, member: 635"] Waheguru ji ka Khalsa, Waheguru ji ki Fateh! The world has become a small place as technological advancement has percolated to the common man, particularly to the rural areas. In the cities, it is no less. Why blame the Jatts only when everyone is thinking of their caste and community. I met a person in the adjoining high-rise building who is a Jatt -a public school educated well read retired army officer. He says he has been on good terms with everyone which includes other Punjabies like Khatri, Arora and Ramgarhias besides people from other regions including South Indians. There are Hindu Jats who are from his gotra and he has good relations with them. One day, one of the ladies -a Khatri- asked him. "Tusi Jatt ho?" He did not hesitate to say "Yes madam." There after everyone started avoiding him as if he is an untouchable. Why this? If the Jatt is a dominating personality, then it is based on historical events that have taken place in Northwestern India ever since the Huns entered from Peshawar in 456 AD. They were led by Mihircula and were responsible for the downfall of Gupta empire when they raided Patna (then Patliputra) and ransacked Nalanda University. The Huns are far off cousins of the Germans, as per Indian historians. The word Jatt is derived from one of the Gothic tribe called Jutes. Perhaps, Jutes were more in numbers in the invasion compared to other tribes like Angles and Saxons. From the name Jutes it became Jatt. As they moved further into India, over a period of time, Jatt became Jat. But the basic character remained the same -as the German. The term German was given to the other branch of the same Gothic tribe -which invaded Europe around 200 AD- by the Romans. Once the Roman empire weakened, the Germans spread all over Europe including Britain. In the whole of Europe, there is profound influence of German culture including their languages. Many of the words in English have German origin. You will find many words in colloquial Punjabi which have similar sound and meaning as German or English words. This forum may not be the right space to list them including similar sounding surnames -Buttar and Butaar, Johal and Joal, Bhullar and Buller and many more. The list is long. When Guru Gobind Singh created the Khalsa, it was the Jatts who joined in the largest numbers. The Jatts contribution to Sikhi cannot be surpassed -Baba Buddhaji (a Randhawa) whose family supervised the change over of Guruship; Bhai Santokh Singh Bhangu whose writings are important in Sikh literature. He was the grandson of Bhai Mehtab Singh who beheaded Massah Rangar for defiling Harmandir Sahib when no one dared to do so. He was accompanied by Sukha Singh, another Jatt. The list is long. The dynamic culture of the Jatts compared to Sikhi are complimentary yet diverse in a way. In the rural areas, the Jatts have always dominated.

Don't worry about the society as long as you have not any thing wrong. May Waheguru give you the strength to bear the upheavals in your life. Waheguru ji ka Khalsa, Waheguru ji ki Fateh! [/QUOTE]
