Dear all,
This thread which I am starting here.... Could as well be posted in the about jatland forum, but would have hardly got a reply! A discussion could have hardly initiated! Humor forum would have been the best place to get it read at least, but there is a warning to post in the current forum, hence general talk!
When I log on to Jatland, I am taken to the home page, which says
"The site is dedicated to providing Jats around the world a place to interact and expand the community spirit. Jatland is THE site for Jats!"
The Community Spirit is what I am about to bring to fore for discussion, whilst some of us are in Haryana, Rajsthan, Uttar Pradesh, and some still in Madhya pradesh. Does it make sense for us to limit ourselves to the use of one slang of the same language? Does it spread community spirit?
With no offences granted to any one, or any region, this has come up as a reaction of my exploration of this "home away from home" I have read almost 40% of the threads in the last 6 months, and have found atleast 70% of them directed against people who either do not belong to Haryana, or have problem understanding the Haryanvi accent! People don't even feel shy or even a bit of contained while talking of it in the chat room, and throwing volley of abuses on one who does not belong to Haryana!!
Community Spirit or Haryanvi spirit? What are we up to? Any one who says I have a problem with haryanvi is shown a path to the haryanvi dictionary! Anyone who sees dark sarcasm, is said this is the way it has been in haryana all through! Anyone who raises a sensible issue comes under the scruitny of sme maniacs, who start taunting in the local dialect to make a person flee!! And never return to the discussion!!
Why are we not a bit more tolerant? Why don't people from Haryana understand this basic fact that language is what has divided North India from South India, and that the country has not yet been able to make it possible for people from either region to end prejudice against each other! Are we planning to give this platform to the generations to come? Are we gonna say them that see though we are Jats, and that we are a chosen few by the God, yet WE ARE DIFFERENT and we should be so!!!
The community spirit is the spirit of integrity, the spirit of courage, the spirit of oneness, the spirit of leadership, but ALAS!! Some people here ( I am not going to name who? ) have made it their living room, and anyone who tries to discover the fact is taken hard! To maintain the HARYANA supremacy!!
The forefathers of this site, I just hope they read it and get sensible inferences!
I have seen people from all other states but haryana speak haryanvi for the convinence of them! So that it becomes more jovial for all of us to converse, at the opposite, haryana jats are adamant not to step down from their DARK SARCASM which they say Humor, and their HARD LANGUAGE which they mis take for JAT LANGUAGE!!
Is this language barrier which we are gonna produce as COMMUNITY SPIRIT??
Regards,
Sam.
