Nitin Bhai,
First of all I would like to thank you for providing this wonderful site to all of us jats away from our homeland. What you have given us in form of this site is simply invaluable. As for this issue of finances, I just wonder why should you feel obligated to explain the expenses of asset/property/website fully owned by you. If someone wants to contribute, thats fine if someone doesnt still its fine. But I can see that why there is no successful jat community organization.
 
Dear Friends,

US$ 200.00 per year is a very small amount for the cause of Jats and this site is doing vauable service. I am a relatively new mmember at this site and really impressed with the work being done. Please accept my humble contribution of US$200.00 for the next year. Let me know how to send my payment. Please let me know if I can of of any assistance to the community. I will feel proud if I can be of some use. Please never worry about small amounts like US$ 200.00..Work you guys are doing is commanding. Entire community is proud of you fellows.

Regards
Rajendra
 
Dear Vivek,

Thanks for your opinion. First of all Jats do have their shortcomings like any one else. But self criticism does not help improve any thing. It can only demoralise those who are doing their bit for the community.

You are right about there being no obligation on the part of Nitin to explain the expenses. Each one of has his/her own ethical standards and philosophy of life. At very basic level one is accountable only to himself but as one's personality progresses more and more people come into our lives and depending on our relationships with them we begin to expect and offer to be part of their lives. When that happens mutual trust and friendship develops. Transparency helps this trust to flourish and make our life richer. I think by explaining the expenses Nitin has tried to maintain that trust which we all appreciate. Probably it is too early for you to have come across this situation in personal life but if you ever do then you will find out that secrecy gives rise to mistrust and transparency to trust.
Hum hi mum hain to kya hum hain !
Tum hi tum ho to kya tum ho !!

If you want to lead a meaningful life learn to share it with those around you and you will be rewarded handsomely for your efforts.

Jat's biggest enemy is arrogance and those who have controlled it have done very well in life individually or in groups. There is great power in unity and in order to be united we have to earn each other's confidence.
 
Dear Shubha Chand Uncle jee,
I agree with each and everything that you wrote. Yes, the views that I wrote were may be a bit immature. But thinking about it again from a fresh perspective a few thoughts came to my my mind, that had I been doing a perfectly honest job of maintaining a site like this out of my busy schedule the way Nitin is doing, I think I would have felt a bit sad if someone would have asked anything like finances. I find two options that one might take in such a situation. One is that he might explain everything like Nitin did. But I am not sure of the quotes like " let your actions speak for you" are a lie. In end of Ramayana people asked for agni pariksha of Sita mata and the end result was not really good. I am not saying what Sita or Lord Ram did was wrong, but I certainly feel that people were wrong in having questioned Sita mata. I am not saying that nitin shouldn't have explained the finances. But I strongly feel that such questions shouldnt have been asked in the first place. I am sure you, having seen lot more social and community life as compared to me, can provide me some with some advice as I too would some day like to step in community service.
With Regards
Vivek
 
Dear Vivek,

Thanks for the honest from the heart posting. Yes like any other group it is quite normal to have a difference of opinion. We can be sometimes too blunt and offensive without intention. They say if you are not polite intentionally you can be rude unintentionally. Many of us are guilty of this insensitivity. From your posting appears sensitivity and an honest desire to do something for the community. Please do so by all means and our blessings are with you. On the way you can only gain something which may not always be thanks and praise but can be sure of criticism. "Jat Naa Jano Goon ! Chana naa maani baah!! Chandan Roonkh Katake ib kyon rove beera!!"
This is the moral of an old story about Jat and wild animals. In plain language it means gratitude is not found in Jats and they can be quite cruel at times. That is true for any other community as well. Community service is great thing but not every one can do it. It requires heart of gold and head of a saint.
