Arjun Ji,
I lived in Mumbai from 1972 to 1988
Some people started Jat Samaj in Mumbai.
They wanted high profile leadership.
They contacted Dharmendra and Dara Singh.
They made mother of Dharmendra as patron and Dara Singh as president. Also they decided that Dara Singh will always be the president.
Great people belong to all. We started a program "Sitaro Ki Sham". Because of these great people, heros and heroins of film industry come free to this high profile program. In this program, general public buys ticket and samaj has good source of income. Jat Samaj bought its office in Mumbai in 1982.
We gave them more respect than Punjabi Jats.
Also Dara Singh Ji is now President of All India Jat Mahasabha also.
These people also attend Jat Marriages and functions etc.
Dara Singh ji have a farm in Meerut also.
Also when Dara Singh Ji came to Australia 5 years ago, we all Sydney jats gave him a party.
