First, Identity is an evolving concept. Even if you say you don't belong to "xyz" identity, other may still consider that you do belong to "xyz" identity. Even if you don't consider yourself as Hindu/Sikh/Jat/Indian/Asian/non-White/non-Muslim/non-European/middle...

I think only Islamic(arabic would be more correct term here) texts say that Dahir married her own sister. It's authenticity may be doubtful as people always abhor their enemies and write prejudiced history.

Modi govt. made a good decision, using mgnrega labour to build rural infrastructure. This will stop wastage of labour productivity.

Actually some of media articles, I read about riots were blaming bjp for provoking riots, others were blaming muslim leaders of bsp. To be honest, I don't know where is truth, my opinions were mainly formed upon media reports and articles. Ministerial berth is secondary issue.

BTW congress is opposing Sanjeev Balyan, now where are congress supporter Jats ? I always say blind worshiping is not good. It is same Congress party which didn't visit Jat families to garner votes of minorities. Congress today took potshots over the inclusion of riots accused Muzaffarnagar MP...

The Narendra Modi-led regime promises sweeping changes in a host of areas, but one aspect in which it seems to have bowed to tradition is the caste composition of the council of ministers. Various upper castes, like Brahmins, Rajputs, Kayasthas and Vaishyas in the north or socially dominant...

Upper castes are over glorified as they were always dominant elites. Rajputs are certainly not viewed among best warriors of world, all of their heroes(Maharana Sanga, Prathvi Raj Chauhan,etc) lost in end and even made alliances with Mguhals; Rajputs were mad in barmer over denial of ticket to...

Of course, Brahmins, Rajputs and Yadavs are more than Jats(including Jatt Sikhs) but difference is not that high. Jats are 4% in India and very concentrated. Rajputs and Brahmins are 6-6% each and not twice of Jats, that too very scattered. I have never made any pro-congress comment here but Jat...

This cabinet is exclusive and hierarchical. Non-dvija communities(85% of indian population) are given too less representation and relatively less important portfolio. Now we can't comment on governance because it is too early to comment on that, let's wait for 2-3 years to comment on governance.

Joshua project has underestimated Jat population in Rajasthan on the basis of old unauthentic data conducted during rajput/british period. Rajasthan has around 1 crore Jats. In my opinion, Hindu Jat population is around 3 crore and Jatt Sikh population is 1 crore.

Well, I could care less about cabinet and other posts. My intention was that Jat should not start riots with Musilm because of provocation by Hindutva organisation. Even if they would have made 3-4 cabinet minister, my objection would have been same. And it's not about Jat only, these...

At the time of K. Natwar Singh, Sish Ram Ola was also a cabinet minister. Only one minister of state and you are becoming so happy ??? wo bhi jab tab in dango ka bjp ko kafi seats dilane main role raha hai. Last time Congress ignored Rajasthani Jats in central cabinet formation but still they...

Harsimrit Kaur Badal is 100% Jatt Sikh, I don't know why people are raising doubt about her. As far as Hindu Jats are concerned, not a single Jat cabinet minister. Last time, there was only one Ajit Singh, he didn't do anything better for Jats. But finally if this results into freedom from RSS...

These history things can't be taken seriously, otherwise many Jat,rajput and Gujjar should be listed as Saka,Kushan and Huna; or going much more back all should be listed as Africans.

Non-Jat polarization doesn't happen in western Uttar Pradesh. In Amroha - Jatav,Jat and Yadav voted for bjp candidate; in Muzzafarnagar - all Hindus voted for BJP's Jat candidate. In Bijnor and Fatehpur Sikri, Jat voted for Jat candidates of BJP. There was a large consolidation in favor of BJP...

Sikar,Jhunjhunu,Nagaur,churu in rajasthan rohatak,sonipat, hissar in haryana baghpat in uttar pradesh have very high number of jats.(ranging between 30-45%)

Vishnois are mostly converted from Jats. When there is a separate identity then there is possibility of rivalry, specially because of political offices. AFAIK, There are not many Vishnois in Hisar. Many Jats also used to vote for Bhajan Lal.

I think he is president of sirvi mahasabha.

Amara ram Choudhary(mla of pachpadra,barmer) is an Anjana, Anjanas vote for Jat candidates and vice versa. I think that there are 2 Anjana MPs in Gujarat. Both candidates in Jalore were Anjanas. Someone from Barmer can shed more light on topic.

Hema and shruti are cosmopolitan and can't be tied to particular ethnicity. This is just identity politics; it's ridiculous that people care a damn about their caste identity but they use their caste identity to get votes. And more funny is people insisting to forget national and developmental...
