We were talking about a specific community in North India, not all people from North India. Jats are very conservative society in maintaining the blood line, so we don't get mixed with other communities very easily, we also worship our Ancestors instead of someone who is not even related to our blood. Jats who practice Hinduism practice it with Jathera ( Ancestorial worship). While on the other hand, pakistani Jats are completely opposite. They intermix easily in other's Blood line. They also don't practice Jathera. Instead, they worship some one who is not even related to his blood.There is nothing new about the Punjabi, Sindhi, Pashtun and Balochi identities, together making up 90%+ of Pakistanis. In fact, we have preserved the language and cultures. Thanks for the concern.
Which brings me to the "Hindi speaking" people of North India.
Standard Hindi only came around in the 19th century, demanded by Hindu nationalists who couldn't come to terms with Urdu and the Persian script.
Your current culture is very much defined by the Mughals who were Muslim.
Even the name "India" came from a region foreign to the people of North India.
Its the British you have to thank for defining the modern North Indian identity. Good luck with your preservation goals.
This dilute the Jat blood and their values in pakistani Jats.
