This has led to a seething land-rights movement , supported by artists in the region. One such example from Malwa region is the music of Bant Singh — Dalit farmer, fiery singer, and political activist — which is emblematic of the upper-caste attacks on Dalit political and cultural assertion. He sang the revolutionary poetry of Sant Ram Udasi from a young age. To silence his activism, Jatt land-owners gang-raped his minor daughter. When he secured a conviction against them, Jatt men from his village battered his limbs, ultimately leading to amputations.
Deras, socio-spiritual places mostly sought by disadvantaged castes, were traditionally syncretic spaces whose numbers grew in the latter half of the 20 th century. Most of the thousands of deras in Punjab are now caste-based. The artists, therefore, use these spaces to link their caste-assertion to their unique religious and social groups.
Religion has repeatedly been used as a vehicle for caste mobility in Punjab, leading to the creation of competing caste hierarchies among different religions. For instance, Jatts — who were in Shudra category according to the Hindu varna system — sought the then-new religion of Sikhism for social mobility once they had economic power. This intersection of novel religions, caste assertion, and mobility is notable in understanding why anti-caste music in Punjab gets a violent response from religious and caste groups.
Recently, Ad-Dharm and dera sects have sought to replicate this. This subtext is visible in recent Dalit pop music videos that feature flashy displays of masculinity and wealth courtesy of remittances from Punjabi Dalit emigres in Europe and West Asia , just as Jatt pop videos do while asserting their caste identity.

It's a common dilemma. Well me being a Jaat, I have had to face this issue a lot and have had to explain it to people every time.
So here it is. Later on 'Jats' got divided into three different communities based on the religion they chose to follow. Though over the years, several Jats have abandoned agriculture in favour of urban jobs. Many of them are land owners and are popularly known as 'Zamindars'. Instead of reading such nonsense about Jatts people should try reading and learning more about Jatts from elsewhere.
Traditionally Jatts are farmers from Punjab. The put themselves at the top of the caste system because they are the majority caste in Sikhism and have leaders in powerful positions. I have no problem with Jatts - i do have a problem with people claiming Jatts are 'thugs', these people are oblivious to their own history and should try learning more instead of disrespecting their own religion and other people.
Jatts , Jatt, Jatti , jatt's , sikhism. The Elitest Class in Punjab Unfortunately Jatts are hated on by madd hindus cuz Jatts actually look human, while hindus, actually more Gujus than any other type of hindus, resemble rats.
