Summary of Question:	The Whole Caste Issue
Category:	General Sikhism
Date Posted:	Friday, 5/21/2004 4:07 PM MDT

I am not being rude or anyting or disrespecting, but this issue about caste, most communities dont beleieve in caste, i find it is the Jatts who think they are bigger and better than the best. I live in the UK, and many times they speak about themselves as if they are bigger and better than all the rest, when i personally beleieve they are not. U never see other castes such as chumars, tarkaans, etc speaking in the tone, of 'Yes I am a tarkaan, we are the highest etc' its only the Jatts i find who speak in this odd and rude way. In the UK we had a program on marriage, i dont no how many people watched it, it was about a sikh male, who kept on reminding us he is jatt, and how he only wants a jatt girl and his tone of voice suggested as if the jatts r better than the rest.

I do hope i have not offended anyone as i am just saying what i beleieve and what i have seen.

You can't change any one but yourself. You can't convince anyone with your words as well as with your actions. Be a humble Sikh and love everyone. Show with your actions how Sikhs are suppose to act. Be kind and compassionate. That's all you can do. Ask the Guru to bring opportunities to you to speak out with compassion and love..like to youth or in newspaper or magazine articles. But, first and foremost, it begins with you. Blessings. GTKK
