[QUOTE="H_Singh, post: 84382, member: 4149"] I do not have the book on hand and cannot recite the portion exactly by memory. But the Dabistan-i-Mazhib states something along the lines of the Jats being masands, i.e. they were prominent enough to control communities of the Gurus by the time of Guru Hargobind. The masands are akin to leadership of the community effectively having authority of the Guru bestowed upon them by the Guru. The Jatts entered Punjab in the 15th century and began moving from a nomadic role to a farming one. The Jatts were not alone in there entry as its also included the Gakhars, Gujjars, Kambos etc Where Guru Nanak Dev established Kartarpur was an area with a lot of Jats. I cannot recall the two towns nearby which were Jat majority towns as I'm out of the country and don't have access to the data. [COLOR=#000002][FONT=Verdana][/FONT][/COLOR] This only states that the people rallying to Banda Singh Bahadur were low castes, it doesn't negate that Jats were there from the beginning or that they were in the majority from the beginning. Guru Nanak may have chosen to reject the Khatri caste but I do not believe the Khatris would have left there caste in numerous numbers. I have not seen evidence to conclude that. In rejecting there caste and Hinduism wouldn't the Khatris have suffered the same ridicule from the Brahmans and others? Khande di Pahul would have made little difference in that case. Unless you're saying that Sikhism was accepted by the Hindu fold and khande di pahul was not acceptable? McLeod states that the Jatts came at the time of the 6th Guru, I contend they were there from the first Guru and they were majority from then. From the beginning. Bhai Gurdas's Varan contains the names of every member in the Sikh community? As I recall it only contained 100 names. To use that and say the majority of the community was Khatri doesn't sound right to me. In the Dabistan-i-Mazhib it states that Guru Hargobind had a large standing cavalry which was more numerous than 100 people and referring back to the start, the Jatts also made up the majority of the masands. Many dismiss the Jats as a later entry, when evidence from records lends to the notion that the Jats were the majority from the beginning. Based on location of Kartarpur (and towns located near it), Baburnama, and exerpts from the Dabistan-i-Mazahib. [/QUOTE]
