Re: Jatts & Rajputs
I guess is a rajput
Re: Jatts & Rajputs
Sounds Sikh zaats to me.
Re: Jatts & Rajputs
What is this cast system nyway? Is it something 2 do with the surname?
Re: Jatts & Rajputs
Are jatts a caste or like an ethnic group? I am just confused thats all, or are they like a tribe among punjabis??
Re: Jatts & Rajputs
^
Punjabis and other South Asian ethnic groups are not racially homogeneous (neither are we Pashtuns who have assimilated tribes of Turkic, Semitic and Indic origin into out ethnicity).
Today Jatts and Rajputs are tribes (or castes for those who still believe in that kind of thing) amongst Punjabis but originally they were different ethnic groups (White Huns, Scythians etc.) who moved to South Asia in the olden days and got assimilated into the natives by adopting local wives, language, religion and culture. The Hinduism of the time usually assigned a caste/status to these new comers (as it had done to those who arrived prior) in the society based on their skin complexion and other factors which determined their role in society (warrior, farmer, bussines man, toilet cleaner etc.), Rajputs for example are said to be of the White Huns who upon arrival were made a part of the Kashtri (warrior) caste, Jatts are traditionally farmers and landlords.
P.s. Both the Rajput and Jatt tribes break up into smaller clans. P.S. not all labelled Jatt and Rajput are of the same origins even though all of them may have equal rights to claim the label and not all are found in Punjab some either originally settled in (or later moved to) Rajasthan and Sindh.
So originally they were ethnic groups who assimilated into Punjabis and became castes and in the future when Punjabis get educated and the caste system is phased out and everyone has equal rights in South Asia it will become a tribe (family) name.
Re: Jatts & Rajputs
Thanks for the update, it was a curiosity, if we are talking about turkic in pashtuns meaning ghilzai, that has been denied, and most scholars don't belieeve in that, just a terrible theory. Yeh pure race doesn't exist just a pipedream, but that was informative. I didn't know punjabs had tribes.

Thanks pra. What caste Nawaz Sharief, Wasim AKram, Inzamam and Rameez Raja belong to? Whats the origin of Awans and Gakhars in that case? Who are in majority in Pakistani and Indian punjab now? I am assuming Jatts cuz they always shout Jatts, Jatts in the bhangra numbers.
Re: Jatts & Rajputs
Yeah I was talking about the Ghilzai tribe but there are other less known tribes too, maybe it's a myth but it's so romantic and un-pukhtu lol.
A lot of other ethnic groups did assimilate in Pashtun tribes, that's why a Pashtun from one place of Pakhtunkhwa will look slightly different from a Pashtun from another part. I've always said racial background doesn't determine our ethnicity, sharing a similar culture (language, cusiine, dress, traditions, folk tales, heroes, heroes, collective history) and similar outlook on life (values, morals, religion) determines an ethnic group.

They refer to them as castes because a lot of rural Punjabis still have that "high low" mentality and the Punjabi society assigns certain roles to each tribe and it's clans (reminiscence of pre-Islamic Hindu jaahiliyyah days) but they are only really tribes/clans assigned a specific status/role in society either directly or indicrectly by Hinduism.
Re: Jatts & Rajputs
I don't know about the cricketers but I think Nawaz Sharif is ethnically Kashmiri (I don't know which tribe/caste).
I think Awans were originally warriors or something, they are eqauted with Jatts and bussiness men by our tribes in the ethnically Pashtun areas of Punjab (Attock etc.) but in the rest of the Punjab they enjoy a higher status in the heirachy.
From my readings most Punjabis are Jatt but there are plenty of other tribes which assimilated before/after them into Punjabi society.

Badey Tind a kashmiri? hain? really? I thought his father mian sharif came from same place as my family-a village in Amritsar.. I am not sure thats we were told when we went to Amritsar.. anyway, he could be Kashmiri playing politics and trying to become the messiah of Punjabis..
