This is one of the most annoying things, jatts will say, "we don't think we are superior, we are just proud of who we are and our ancestors, and acknowledge that there are differences" and then they will proceed to list off ways they are superior and how others are inferior. Non-jatts will say, "jatts think they are better than us, they are arrogant, its their fault that that the caste divide will never end"
It seems as if both sides equally discriminate the other.
I went to a wedding of a Tarkhan man a few months ago, they had assigned seating based on "friends", when you walked in and sat down, you noticed that everyone of the same caste was seated together, in different parts of the hall. I didn't know anyone at my table, and my friends were on different tables.
I also know a few parents who don't want their kids doing bhangra because "eh jattan da kam ah".
At the same time, i know alot of jatts that will purposely blast jatt-pride songs infront of non-jatts, they'll treat them differently, and they will make fun of them non-stop behind their backs, "bhapey this and that"
And I've heard countless times that "I'm going to marry in my caste, I don't even consider anyone else, its just how it is"
I know this probably gets talked about alot, but I just get really sick of hearing all these things, I just had to vent this out. I understand how alot of people believe what they believe, but its especially annoying when I see sardar's with full dharhi's who are supposed to represent our religion and what we believe, who can tell me anything detail from sikh history that I want to know off the top of their head, who can translate random lines of gurbani for me.....discriminate against one another just based on caste. It doesn't make any sense to me.
