As far as my opinion goes, i think i would go with option 2 so that proper care of property is taken which can be possible only by ppl who own it. and the members of family living outside the village can come and enjoy village life in their vacations!! I think one should never sell his/her ancestral land/home cuz its always showing us our roots....from where we orginated and our parents came!
 
I believe that:

1. if its a joint family than any way the ancestorial property will be looked after.

2. If there is no one to look after than some one else will acquire it and the your name may vanish from the village history. Its better to sell of the property and do some dharam ka kaam in village itself on behalf of your ancestors like kuan (well) banva do, dharamshala khulva do, etc...


ANY TAKERS of this suggestion.

regards,


Anand Dalal

Nice Options

Sheoran Sahab,

Your all options look nice to me if the person is doing it with good intentions. It also depends upon the Circumstances(which option to choose).
Aur kayi baar to baat in options tai BAhar bi chali jya sai.

As far as giving back to the family which is living in the village, it depends not only on the donor but the person recieving it also must be willing to take that help in a spirited manner.

After all it depends up on the individual what he wants to do with his ancestoral property. Ofcourse I will agree with all of you that Nostalgic Feelings about one's roots are always very nice.

I will just ask one thing, For how long we can keep our ROOTS intact......one genration...Two generations......Three generations.....Four generations......or FOREVER?

The suggestions received at to-day's Jat picnic were varying. Some examples are;

1. Sell your farm and house every thing and invest in a city.
2. Let your remaining family members (if any) look after it and benefit from it.
3. Let your remaining family members look after it and pay you the returns received.

4. Don't sell it if you can afford it because that is your last tie with your ancestors.

Let us hear what opinions the reders on this site have for those Jats who were born in the village and grew up there and moved to city and made a career for themselves and some even moved overseas. Would you rather forget about your dear village ?

BHAI KULWANT,

Very pertinent and timely question and mind you answer is not easy to find?Preserving a culture or heritage is not a joke as it has a tendency to get influenced and abused by changes taking place as the time goes by and hence not easy to tell as to for what period of time it can be sustained.Also there are thousand other considerations with the indviduals to ponder and choose what is best for an indvidual?Sustanity of culture require great sacrifices and determination By majority of clan/group and the basic requirement is whole hearted support and a sense of pride for it. We somhow could not promote our language or culture like panjabis due to lack of forethought and lack of pride in ourselves and answer to the question posed by you is not at all simple.LET US DO OUR BIT PLEASE.

Hello everybody, I will go for option 2 and 4. I have very strong ties with my Family and they are there to look after the house and land so they should also benefit from it. So long we can afford it we will not even think of selling and loosing ties with our roots.
 
:) Dear All,

Thank you very much for posting your frank opinions. What do you give to some one who has every thing. I will say heritage. We may provide our children every thing but if heritage is missing they will sooner or later start searching for their roots. If you have roots preserve them if you can. It is individual's decision how much importance one places on heritage. Once gone you can not get it back.
 
this is what really happens: if u are away in city/overseas, whoever is in the village will grab ur land and kick u out.
 
I will go sure for option four, though we came delhi when i was just 6yrs old. but we used to go our village on marriage or functions is our relations. After all our roots are from village, that is our matrabhumi.

Cheers
