Well that backfired! Indian minister, 48, drinks dirty water from 'holy' river polluted with sewage to show locals it's safe... before he's rushed to hospital after falling ill

I've seen a few paintings from way back explicitly mentioning juts as the subjects, and they were all dressed like this.

I've read numerous gazetteers from the 19th and 20th century that mention unbleached Kurta & chaddar as main dress and a white sheet for summers (in relation to Jats). They also specify the colours worn by different communities and religions (e.g. Hindus refrained from Green and  Sikhs preferred blue). 

This is from Malva region 1883, where Panjabis co-resided with Bagris.

Rural communities dressed similar. This is from the Tarkhan community of Panjab.

Might as well do it now. All you juts, this is how your recent ancestors really dressed - the saucy sods! Probably why dasmesh pita brought kasheras in! lol

Found some information on this dress. It's called a "Janghia" and it wasn't the main dress. But it was worn during physical-work by some, the dhoti or Chaddra was still the main garment. Once they became baptised into Sikhi, it was replaced with a Kachera.

I'm talking about jut male dress prior to them becoming Sikhs. Even in some afghan accounts of passing through Panjab with loot, there are references to being attacked by 'bare bottomed juts' when crossing streams. I didn't understand that until I started coming across these images.   

This one is REALLY interesting. I'm pretty sure the circled bit is a jut family in the early process of converting to Sikhi visiting Bhai Bir Singh Naurangabad's langar, and bringing contributions. Note the similarity of dress of the man, with the previous image I posted. What's those pitchforks called in Panjabi?

I knew it!!! lol

It was worn by other communities too, I believe the cattle-grazers were mainly Muslims. But in general, the Hindu men of Panjab wore shorter Dhoti's compared to Chaddra/Majhla worn by Sikh and Muslims outside of physical work. image.png.36e47d7e1d11a0b1d77b0a8bcf2f0099.png

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
