Why do people belonging to Jatt caste alone take so much pride in their caste and flaunt it? When others are trying to come out of the caste system, why to still hold on to caste ? They seem to be Jatt first, Sikh or Punjabi later. How many castes have graphics like this?
First Jatt isnt a caste in the traditional sense of the term. Its more of a tribe, community. The social structure in Punjab reflects the one in Pakistan Punjab. Since its an agrarian society, the land owning ones, usually the Jatts have most of the political power. Its the same in Haryana and western UP. How many times have you seen Haryana, Raj and UP Jatts fighting for Ayodhya or major religious issues? Almost never.Jatts are a group unto themselves and in many case their allegiance to their tribe superseded their allegiance to the their religion.
