पंजाब-हरियाणा हाईकोर्ट के आदेश के बावजूद जाट आंदोलनकारियों ने रेलवे ट्रैक से हटने से इंकार कर दिया है। आंदोलनकारियों ने कहा है कि इस मामले में सुप्रीम कोर्ट में भी याचिका दायर करेंगे। कैथल में आंदोलनकारी पटरी से हट गए हैं लेकिन अन्य सभी रेलमार्गो पर आंदोलनकारी काबिज हैं। आंदोलनकारियों ने शुक्रवार को कुरुक्षेत्र में रेलमार्ग जाम करने की [FONT=&quot]धमकी[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]दी[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]है।[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]इसके[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]साथ[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]ही[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]आंदोलनकारियों[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]व[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]प्रशासन[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]के[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]बीच[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]टकराव[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]के[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]आसार[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]बढ़[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]गए[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]हैं।[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]वहीं[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]हरियाणा[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]के[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]गृह[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]सचिव[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]ने[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]डीजीपी[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]व[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]अन्य[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]अधिकारियों[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]संग[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]बैठक[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]कर[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]स्थिति[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]पर[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]चर्चा[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]की।[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]हिसार[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]के[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]मय्यड़[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]में[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]रेलवे[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]ट्रैक[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]पर[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]बैठे[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]आंदोलनकारियों[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]की[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]बैठक[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]में[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]सर्वसम्मति[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]से[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]प्रस्ताव[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]पारित[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]कर[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]कहा[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]कि[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]जब[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]तक[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]जाट[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]आरक्षण[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]देने[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]की[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]घोषणा[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]नहीं[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]की[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]जाती[/FONT], [FONT=&quot]तब[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]तक[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]आंदोलन[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]जारी[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]रहेगा।

[FONT=&quot]चंडीगढ़, जागरण संवाददाता : पंजाब एवं हरियाणा हाईकोर्ट ने आरक्षण की मांग कर रहे जाट आंदोलनकारियों के नेताओं को तुरंत रेलमार्गो पर लगाए अवरोधक हटाने व शांतिप्रिय ढंग से अपना आंदोलन चलाने के आदेश दिए हैं। बृहस्पतिवार को जारी आदेश में कोर्ट ने संबंधित जिला उपायुक्तों को निर्देश दिया कि वह इस आदेश की अनुपालना करवाएं। कोर्ट ने आदेश की कापी तुरंत उपायुक्तों तक पहुंचाने के आदेश दिए। चंडीगढ़ के एक गैर-सरकारी संगठन ने हाईकोर्ट में दायर याचिका में जाट आरक्षण के चलते रेलमार्ग बाधित होने पर आंदोलनकारियों के खिलाफ कार्रवाई की मांग की थी। हाईकोर्ट के चीफ जस्टिस की खंडपीठ ने कोर्ट में मौजूद हरियाणा के गृह सचिव व डीजीपी को भी इस आदेश की कापी एक घंटे के भीतर देने का आदेश जारी करते हुए कहा कि वह सुनिश्चत करें कि आदेश सही ढंग से लागू हो। खंडपीठ ने अपने आदेश में कहा कि शांति व कानून बनाए रखना प्राथमिक तौर पर राज्य का काम है लेकिन रेलवे मार्ग जाम होने से राष्ट्र को होने वाले नुकसान व जरूरत की चीजों की आपूर्ति बाधित होने पर कोर्ट चुप नहीं रह सकता। समाचार पत्रों में छपे समाचार व [/FONT]

ना भाई ,रोहतक में कोए आन्दोलन कोणी | हाम तो बाट देखां सां ,अक कब सी आरख्शन मिले एर कटोरा ले के आगे जा खड़े होवां | चारु ओड आन्दोलन चाल रे सें एर ये ताण के सोवे सें | बेशर्मी की हद लांघ दी हुड्डा के चक्कर में |
 
NEW DELHI: As Jat protesters continued to disrupt rail and road traffic in Haryana demanding reservation for the community in central government jobs, the Centre called a meeting of top civil and police officers of Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and Rajasthan on Saturday to discuss how to deal with the stir.

Union home secretary Gopal K Pillai will review the law and order situation in the three states with the chief secretaries and directors general of police.

Sources said the meeting has been convened following Thursday's Supreme Court directive to the state governments to ensure free flow of water and other essential items like milk, dairy products and vegetables to the national capital.

The home secretary will take stock of the security situation and formulate plans so that rail and road traffic and flow of essential commodities is not disrupted by the Jat agitation.

Though the fortnight-long blockade on railway tracks in Uttar Pradesh was withdrawn by the agitators following an order of the Allahabad High Court, the blockade on railway tracks in Haryana continues to affect train traffic.

On Thursday, the apex court had taken strong exception to the Uttar Pradesh and Haryana chief ministers' "support" to the Jat stir and asked the two states and Rajasthan to ensure that supply of water and other essential commodities to Delhi is not affected.

The Punjab and Haryana High Court too had directed the Haryana government to immediately get the railway tracks and other blockades cleared to restore normal movement of trains.

"Saturday's meeting will also review what the states have done to comply with the courts' orders. The Centre will also have to file an affidavit in the courts in this regard in due course," said an official.

Two rounds of talks between home minister P Chidambaram and social justice minister Mukul Wasnik and the Jat leaders have failed to evolve an amicable solution to the demands of the protesters.
 
जाटों को आरक्षण की जरूरत नहीं : टिकैत मेरठ, प्रेट्र : भारतीय किसान यूनियन के नेता महेंद्र सिंह टिकैत ने जाटों को आरक्षण देने की मांग पर विरोध जताया है। उन्होंने कहा कि जाटों को आरक्षण की कोई जरूरत नहीं है। इसके लिए चलाया जा रहा आंदोलन एक पब्लिसिटी स्टंट है। टिकैत ने कहा कि उन्हें जाटों के नाम पर छेड़े गए आंदोलन से दुख हुआ है, जिसमें ट्रेनें रोकी जा रही हैं और राजमार्ग जाम किये जा रहे हैं।

ye budhape mein sathiiya gya hai :)
 
Ravinderjeet has very correctly highlighted the mentality of these selfish people of community. Hooda is not going to stay for life BUT the benefit of reservation will be for GENERATIONS to come. This fact these selfish people of OLD ROHTAK should understand & participate actively in the JAT ARAKSHAN agitation.
 
Ajit Singh blames Mayawati for supporting Jat reservation agitation

The Hon'ble Mr. Ajit Singh who is supposed to be a Jat has blamed Mayawati for supporting Jat reservation agitation. I can't think of anything more unfortunate than this. A Jat politician (MP and Head of a party) criticizing someone for supporting Jat agitation. Not only that he advocated use of Heavy force against the Jat protestors just like that used against the protesters from the Samajwadi Party.

Who is going to have or show regards to such a traitor who openly suggests that his own community people should have been subjected to brute force?

Jat vote bank is totally divided. Each and everytime we vote for those same old Ajit Singh ji, Hooda ji, Chautala ji just because they are Jats and when these PROUD jats come to power they forget their own community and talk of being cosmopolitanism. They are very different from leaders from other communities who silently but firmly work for the welfare of their own communities - be they Yadavs, Gujjars or even the Sharmas.

I am proud of Mr. Pravesh Verma, son of the Late Ch. Sahib Singh Verma who came out openly in support of Jat reservation and even recommended his party to support the cause of Jat reservation.

All need to awake and support only those Jat leaders who give it in writing to the Jat community that will ensure that they will ensure reservation for Jats as soon as they come in power. We need to strategise further and form a strong network among the community through emails, mobiles, etc. wherein at a short notice we can come together. Let's not forget that the Jasmine revolution in Egypt, Tunisia has been facilitated by the use of technology and networking using twitter, internet, sms, etc.

FINALLY AJIT SINGH IS TRAITOR. USELESS SON OF A WORTHY FATHER!!
 
Brother, I fully support your views and proposal. Ajit is selfish, baseless, shameless and useless person, even word leader doesnot fit in with his deads & personality. The fact is he is letdown to our community as well as to the great ch charan singh, But only good point is that he is jat by birth atlist and son of a great jat.

Let's not forget that the Jasmine revolution in Egypt, Tunisia has been facilitated by the use of technology and networking using twitter, internet, sms, etc.

FINALLY AJIT SINGH IS TRAITOR. USELESS SON OF A WORTHY FATHER!!

It is unfortunate that Ajit Singh openly questions why Force was not used against Jat protesters just the way it was used against Samajwadi Party protesters. And then he calls himself a Jat and a Jat in favour of reservation.

WITH FRIENDS LIKE THESE WHO NEEDS ENEMIES!!

There is a new Jat in town. And he is sick of being a son of the soil and doing the nation’s heavy lifting. Gaurav Jain and Nisha Susan meet a community in the midst of a very big churning

In the late 1990s, when kitsch was still cool and Channel V was the best friend everyone had been waiting for, Udham Singh arrived on his haunches. Props: a buffalo, a lathi and a dangerous, deadpan sense of humour. Udham was a Borat before his time, both playing out the stereotypes of a Haryanvi Jat and puncturing the hot air balloons of English speaking urbanites. Manish Makhija, the radio jockey and music composer who played and scripted Udham Singhn, lives in Mumbai. The show might be long gone but his Jatphilia still thrives. Occasionaly he chats up young Jats in Mumbai nightclubs where, far from home, they're thrilled at the chance to to slip back into the lingo and rough hewn accents that their parents paid so much to erase out of them.
The jats occupy their own niche in the mosaic of stereotypes in the Indian consciousness, and the stereotype can turn out to be startlingly alive: a marshal race, patriarchal, brawny, artless, proud, phlegmatic, blunt, impetuous, fight-ready. In shorthand, somewhat similar to Punjabis -- but gruffer. “They say things straight,” says Makhija. “I've always thought that the Jat reputation for aggression comes from a frustration that other people are unwilling to listen to the truth.” And when the Jats threaten to disrupt the minding-our-own-business lives of urban Indians with demands of wanting to be classified as OBCs, the rest of the country is left puzzled. What is their problem? Where's all that pride now? Just where do they get off?
Over a thousand kilometers away from Mumbai, across UP and Haryana great masses of Jats would agree with Makhija. The summer has just begun and their battle is being conducted in fits and starts. Under the banner of All India Jat Arakshan Sangharsh Samiti (AIJASS), thousands of Jats spent 20 days in March squatting on 14 train tracks in UP and Haryana. Their demand vexed the country, and yet to them it seemed simple, natural, logical. Jats are already considered OBC (at the state level) in half a dozen states, including UP and Delhi. In Rajasthan they already have OBC status in both state and Central level (barring two districts). Make the same happen for Jats everywhere.
Or else? Or else watch Delhi grind to a halt, its roads blocked off without access to essential supplies, oil, even water.
This virile threat is not, despite newspaper columnists' confusion, a sudden development. It's been a long time coming, and now it's reached siren levels.

Last month, after a year of hectic procrastination and delay tactics, Delhi finally panicked in slow motion. Trains cancelled! Are these Jats going to be like the violent Gujjars? They want reservation in state and central goverment jobs! But aren't they embarrassed in demanding to become OBCs?
On March 26, the energy is still high in Kafurpur village, near Amroha in UP, though after a Supreme Court order to resume essential supplies, the movement has stopped blocking the tracks and moved its agitation to a tented college ground across the street. The police presence is relaxed and friendly. UP Chief Minister Mayawati has no bone to pick with the movement, despite the acrimonious relationship between Jats and Dalits. AIJASS president Yashpal Malik left at midnight to attend a hasty meeting called by Haryana CM BS Hooda. A week earlier, a meeting with Home Minister P Chidambaram had gotten nowhere. Over the last five years, Malik has led massive and determinedly peaceful demonstrations, each time calling it off when the government promised to look into it. Last year saw the AIJASS issue a series of escalating threats – including cutting off Delhi's water supply at Muradnagar for a while in June, threats to disrupt the CWG and blocking dozens of roads to Delhi in September (which involved the one burst of violence so far in the agitation, when an SP allegedly shot a jat demonstrator in Hisar which led to a riot) – but the politicians proved better at brinkmanship, providing falsetto assurances every time that went nowhere. Last Novemeber at another demonstration in Jantar Mantar, the jats pronounced that they were done with their grovelling – they'd now meet the powers-that-be on their homeground, not in Delhi. They resolved their March 2011 agitation at that meeting, and when still nothing had happened by this Spring, blocked the trains tracks last month which finally got the nation's attention.

Old story, new ending The Jatni Sena, as the women of the movement call themselves, are clear that OBC status is only a way of ensuring their children’s future

For now, the agitation has been suspended for six months till September after assurances from both the Centre and CM Hooda that they will seriously consider the demands. In the interim, the jats plan to organise 'chetna yatras' (warning rallies) to ensure that the fever of discontent stays high in the heartland.
The people gathered at Kafurpur are not in the least disheartened. They have been fobbed off so far, they are not going to be fobbed off forever. They're convinced they have the power – and the will – to turn Delhi into a starving island.
In a strange way, it is the electric world of the island of Delhi that is the prize. In village after village, Jat families are announcing that they are done. We are done with farming. What can you earn with working on 10 bighas of land? We are done with farmers' credit cards and bank loans. We are done with being patriotic sons of the soil, with doing the nation's heavy lifting, with serving as soldiers and lowly police constables. Do you know how many Jats died in Kargil? We want our children to go to technical colleges and live as they do in the cities. We want technology. The cry is uniform from the men, from the women, from young people and older people – we've been left behind in this slantedly globalised world and we now know our brawn will get us nothing. We want our pens to have power.

Entering Jat colonies in Kandhera village outside the dusty UP town of Baraut, there isn't the miasma of dissatisfaction that blanketed the agitations in Amroha. Instead, there is the silence of houses surrounded by fields, rooms where the sun is always carefully kept out, the comfort of shadows. The eyes surveying visitors are confident and rather incurious. Conversations are direct and salty. This is the virile, somewhat insular face of the Jat stereotype. The average Jat will trace his history back a few centuries, to one or another battle fought bravely. Or tell you how Jats descended from Shiva's dreadlocks – his matted 'jattas'. A recent medical study of what is known as the 'Jat mutation' shows distinct genetic links between Jats and the Roma gypsies. But Jats are not a carefully gazetted caste with a cultivated caste myth. Even the current AIJASS movement is based on an ethnic identity beyond the caste system, inclusive of Jat Sikhs and Jat Muslims.
Which makes the claiming of OBC status a very pragmatic decision, without stigma, without embarrassment. Peetam Singh, a retired bank manager in JP Nagar district in UP is one of hundreds in the movement who will tell you, “We were never oppressed before. But we are now, aren't we? What can you earn on 15 bighas? How can you send your children to good schools.” What enrages the Jats is that every other community they consider their equal got the OBC status. “The Gujjars, the Kashyaps, Yadavs, Kurmis....” Singh goes on listing what decades ago sociologist MN Srinivas handily and vaguely called dominant castes – land, political power, pride in their geneology and claims to having steered history.
Every village has a host of unmarried men. Unmarriageable since they’re farmers. Farming is uncool, say the young boys and girls

Big towns and cities are only a few hours away but they might as well be light years. Older Jats complain that their youngsters want and buy, like everyone else, cellphones, jeans, cars. But they have no way of paying the bills. Abhisehk Tomar, 31, the not-so-young-looking youth leader of the AIJASS in UP runs a spare parts shop in Baraut. “Of course, people turn to crime,” he says. “Robbery, murder, it's all getting very common among young Jats.” He also expresses pious despair that young people are turning to alcohol. Others are less sanctimonious, such as his 24-year-old friend Sanjeev Chowdhary, who actually works in the liquor store across Abhishek's shop.
22-year-old Vikas Tomar shuttles between Rohini, a Delhi suburb and his village two hours away. Quiet, podgy and easygoing, he has a raw stitched wound on his arm, which he keeps picking at. He was injured in Amroha while squatting on the railway tracks and is reticent to explain how. When prodded about crime and young people, he smiles and shrugs. Sure. Yes, some of his friends have turned to crime. Hours later, feeling more comfortable and apropos of nothing, he shyly brags about 'helping' someone in Delhi evict a tenant. How he and a gang of jat boys arrived quietly. Gagged the tenant. Took his mobile. Put him in a sack. Beat him up a bit. Changed the locks. Shifted the house items to a tempo and drove them all away to the tenant's village. Neighbours heard nothing. Vikas smiles.
Every village has households of unmarried men. Unmarriagable since they're farmers. Jat pradhan Sukhram Pal says contemptously that he would rather marry his daughter to a sweeper than a farmer. His pals around the charpoy guffaw. Many UP jats distance themselves from the infamous misogyny of Haryana's khaps. “We have love marriages,” explains Naresh Singh, a UP jat pradhan. “We will stay united. We need to tell those [Harayana jats] to be a little more normal.”
Yogendra Yadav, senior fellow at the Centre for the Study of Developing Societies, recently wrote a newspaper column in disgust at what he called the 'familiar script' of the Jat crisis. India is going to experience this crisis over and over again with different communities. Yadav’s solution is an evidence-based approach through an Equal Opportunities Commission (proposed by an expert committee and promised in the 2009 Congress manifesto) that will actually examine socio-economic data for competing claims for reservation. Yadav also railed briefly about the national media treating these caste groups ‘as if they are alien tribes from Africa.’ Yadav’s solution is an excellent one, one that may rescue governments from the quicksand they are in.
On the other hand, the Jat ‘script’ is proof to some scholars that the caste system is not a framework that explains reality – that the Jat or any other caste is always a moving target. Or to put it simply, why is the caste framework unable to allow us to identify who a Jat is. Vivek Dhareshwar, Bengaluru-based scholar has long mocked the caste system as a way of understanding Indian reality – calling it the theoretical framework of the colonial explorers who were meeting ‘alien tribes’. He says, “It is a framework trying to hold disparate ideas and failing. What does the term ‘caste’ picks up? Jat, Jain a muslim, trade, craft. All the idea of caste can be is a counter of the state and groups of people will try to see if they can fit themselves into the counter. It isn’t a theoretical framework.” Certainly, there is something absurd about the Jats claiming OBC status because the Gujjars in Rajasthan got it and the Gujjars in turn wanting to become declared Scheduled Tribe out of fear that the Jats will eat into the OBC pie.

The jats are not fighting for their identity or culture, they are not fighting historical grievances, they are not fighting social ostracisation. In typical fashion, they're upfront in stating that this is all about economics, about seeing themselves left behind, about the fear of a perpetual lag. Farming is uncool, say both the young boys and girls. It's also unviable, chorus their elders. The community wants modernity, and for this it is resorting to a traditional solution – caste reservation. It wants technology, and for this it dreams of that archaic thing – a government job.
The jats are clear: in a world of not too many options, this is one way of getting a head start. "Even our gods in temples are now made in China – and China is a godless country!” says one elderly gentleman who won't identify himself. “But it's invested in technology, in teaching young people – we also want that.”
Back at the college grounds, dozens of young girls sit in the sun and discuss how they don't want to stay home after school. They want work, they'd love to work in an MNC but how do you get into good companies without having gone to a good college? And who has the money to pay for a good college anyway? The older women ask angrily, do you know how far they have to commute to go to a bad college? Mithlesh, a housewife in her 30s, almost screams, “Don't we have dreams?” Those sitting around her are first startled, then guffaw at her cinematic explosion. The ambition and despair might be expressed in borrowed pop culture lingo, but the desire to rise in the global food chain is very real.
In Kandhera, Sachin Tomar is 22 but seems younger. The first year B Com student sits in the living room of a sprawling house. Sachin is an lanky, mild giant who wants to be a teacher but is probably going to end up as a delhi police constable, like his elder brother. That elder brother, praised as the scholar in the family, gave the Crime Branch exam but missed the cut-off by 2 percent. His father grimly points out that he'd have made it if there was reservation for Jats.
Contrast this with Rinku Chowdhary, 23, son of a sugar mill owner near Amroha. Dressed in a blazing pink muscle tshirt and always on his cellphone, Rinku is in a long sulk about not getting into a job he wanted in Dehra Dun even after finishing his MBA. He has a sense of frustrated entitlement but the discontent is palpable even in him.
Historian Irfan Habib once quoted Huein Tsang's 7th century account of encountering what Habib speculates were the Jats, where Tsang says these people “have no masters” and mentions their “unfeeling temper” and “hasty disposition”. AIJASS president Yashpal Malik says something startling that shows how the jats are vying to break out of that ageless mould, and his words might also bridge the gap between Sachin and Rinku. “We have the raw products, we wear jeans and tshirt and have cellphones and cement houses now. But real prosperity will come with tehzeeb. We have to teach ourselves that, it will come with better thinking.”
Today, Rinku and Sachin and Vikas and Abhishek and other Jat youth are always on message, dully trilling what they've been taught through the movement. But between their elders' lines the young jats of India are hoping to strike their own designs, as they slowly come into focus. Between his glamourous pouts Rinku has visions of a greater Jat future. We will have schools. We will have engineering colleges. Medical colleges. “I want to make Jat a brand,” he smiles. “like Nike and Reebok."
 
A crappy article.very far from reality.
