Many of us still not bold enough to tell our caste to others, whereas most of our known are aware of our castes. I am one among them, many times i keep mum on the issue of castes. there are 2 reasons behind this, 1; why to tell the caste to others and 2; i can know the ideas of other people towards our caste.

SANDHU is not a Chamar they are well know Jatt caste, brave and notorious,
Get your facts correct mate
October 16, 2011 at 1:26 pm
My dear friend ,
If you get time ,please read book Jatta da Itihas.you will get good information to clear your confusion. It is available on weekly ajit published from Missisugga canada
December 9, 2011 at 12:18 am
The problem with the jatts, from my experience of dealing with them as friends, is that they are often poorly educated on the subject and don’t know that quite a lot of the surnames in the Punjab cut across castes. Sandhu is another of those names. Ricky you need to get your facts right by doing research as to why this has happened. You are obviously as young man hothead and emotional and proud which is overbearing your mental faculties. For your benefit (according to the Vedas) under the old varna system persons from the same family were able to practise different type of jobs and trades.Later when Manu, the Hindu Law giver, came along he brought about the caste system, which was a rigid social structure, under which people practicing particular trades or jobs were forced to marry , work within that trade, which became hereditory jati. This is why caste names in Punjab for example cut across castes. If you do your research you will see the truth. India is crying out to the young people to eradicate this cancer which has infected the indians and given them a caste mindset. Without caste system( brahminism) india would va have been a much better country. I have a Jat friends who call themselves as ‘Jat Sikhs’. This is a contradiction in terms. You cannot be a Jat and also a sikh , because to call yourself a jat you are edorsing the caste system and by calling yourself as a sikh you are rejecting the caste system. Read what the Guru Granth Sahib and the Gurus say on the subject. You have to decide – are you a sikh or a hindu?. If you are urged to say jat again you are betraying the your religion and the Gurus who died for you. You and all your ‘Jatts’ should rise to the occasion and destroy castes considerations between the sikhs. This is what the Khalsa was all about. Waheguru will bless you for you you will be a true ‘spoot puttar’of sikh Gurus.
December 10, 2011 at 6:42 am
In addition to the above other reasons for names cutting across castes are:
1. India under brahminism was a close society. Ostracism from caste was a powerful tool for a number of reasons, for example breaching caste rules.Thus brahmins who performed ceremonies for shudras, were thrown out of caste into outcastes ie untouchables including chamars. Thus Kaul is a brahmin surname and also a chamar name. Another example is where there was intermarriage breaching marriage rule..Where this took place they were also outcasted and often sought refuge with the outcastes including chamars. The outcasted kept their gotras.
2. Political dynasty losing its raj were often thrown out en mass and outcasted. They also joined the ranks of chamars or other castes. Classical example the chauhans or chohans. This surname originally rajput but also falls into rajputs, jatts and also chamars. Many chamars were infact rajputs.
So when people have same surnames, that means they are related by blood (DNA). The males will share the same Y chromosone. In India you never marry a person with the same surname no matter how far down the line you may be related even if you are from different caste because the revulsion is too great. I have come across persons from different castes showing so much affection towards each other because they share the same surname. At that point they curse the brahmins for creating this wretched caste system.
I have heard and read some comments made by some jatts that the chamars are ‘moolighting’ jatt surnames so as to pass as jatts. This is absolute rubbish because they cannot be bothered to find out why they share some surnames. Chamars are very proud people and rightly so. We don’t need to do that and I don’t think there is single chamar out there who would do that. Would anybody out there would like to lose his or her family and adopt another I don’t think so. It shows the ignorance many young jatts who are devoid of knowledge. Chamars have bettered themselves so much in so many areas in the last 40 years in the Punjab so that they are not reliant on the Jatts for work or income. The rise of chamars is resented by the very people who oppressed us. Their resentment manifests in above like comments. The rise of dalits will continue until we take control of Delhi. Then truly we will have ‘captured the powerhouse for our emancipation’ (Dr BR Ambedkar) and fulfilled the dream of Guru Ravidass ‘esa chahon raj main’.

May I state that Sandhu, Sidhu, Sahota and Kalsi ARE Chamar surnames as well as Jatt/Tarkhan Surnames. Please educate yourself before asking people to get their “facts” right. I am a Sahota myself and I have Sandhu/Kalsi friends who ARE CHAMAR and no other caste!
Fact is… a surname does NOT determine a caste, its man-made BULLSHIT and has no place in society in this day and age.
Thank you

November 28, 2011 at 3:41 am
I agree with you. All this caste names busines is total rubbish. It is promoting the caste system with all its ugliness. Caste system needs to be destroyed and replaced with humanitarianism. I think ravidassia needs to promote what ravidass wanted not its own agenda. Indians living in the west know how beautiful life is without caste. Those born, bred and educated in the west find that caste system is a disgusting and antithesis of human value of liberty, equality and fratenity. Please all those of you contributing to the website search you hearts and minds and work for better humanity and not promote a thousands years old system and come out into the new 21st century. Visualise and see the new India without. Destroy and attack caste system in Jaatpaatstan(India) now!!!!!!!!!!

Sahota and Gill are chura/valmiki names also. I have friends who have these names from that community. Jatts ignorance and arrogance gets the better of them., Question for the Jatt contributors.: If you think, albeit wrongly, that jatt is a’race’ why are the surnames of other castes cut accross into Jatt CASTE? You will soon hear of another stupid answer from our jatt friends.

Lol look at u fools. Promoting your caste. I know for a fact that chumars make much more of a big deal about all this bollocks than n e other. Then cry about it. I can say this! Why? Because personal experiance and not bullshit talk over the net. I am a jatt. My husband is chumar. He has a huge family, all chumars. I have been married for 15 years. All i EVER hear them talk about on weddings, funerals or paths is their caste abd how others r jatts, turkans etc. FACT. u may not have created this. But u will let these flames burn forever. In 40 years i have never heard my huge family(the jatt one) talk about this bullshit. Get a fuckin life!
January 23, 2012 at 3:59 pm
Well said and I agree with you. Guru Ravidass and all the other Gurus fought for the eradiaction of caste from Indian society and yet this website and many others too seem to be promoting the Brahminical caste system. How do they reconcile the two opposing ideas. Ravidassia should be working to promote the misssion of the Guru not actively engaged in doing the work of brahminism by encouraging the caste surnames. In the Uk mixed marriages are on the rise amonst Indians because the younsters do not like the caste system being imposed on them. I am a ravidassia sikh and in my own family there are girls and boys from different backgrounds and its beautiful. This has created abetter understanding between all concerned. What our elders could not achieve our children are doing and achieving because they have pure hearts. Sharing your roti and beti are the only way of eradicating the caste system. The ugly head of caste will do no good for anybody . It has created bad feelings and destroyed good relationships. The caste system has held back India for centuries untold. The brahmins had a good reason for promoting the caste system as they were the creaters and beneficieries of the system whilst caste system was imposed on the low castes to keep them low with the concepts of karma and kismet and reincarnation. The low castes are fools for following the caste system and dont realise they are slaves/victims of the system. Tell a ‘slave he is a slave and he will revolt’. Instead the slave in India is proud to be a slaves and activley promotes himself as a chamar, ragharia, jatt etc, who were all sudras. In the scheme of the caste system the shudras were the servants or slaves of the system.. All the leading great countries of the world that have progressed have had revolutions in their country by the the lower masses, eg Great Britain, France, Russia, China, America etc. And yet this has not happened in India , why? When will the Indian slaves revolt. The Brahmins have divided them into so many castes and sub castes that they do not get on with each other and dont unite and therefore do not pose a challeng to the Brahmincal rule or the system they have created. If you read the Brahmins religious books over and over they say keep saying keep the shudras oppressed. Manu in his ‘Laws of Manu’ clearly says these low castes must be kept divided and forced to do their ancesteral occupations otherwise they will destroy the system. The Gurus came to destroy the ugly caste system and install in its place a casteless society where all are equal, free and treat each others like brothers – the Khalsa. they were very educated and had read the religous scriptures of the Brahmins and they were unhappy about what they had read. They started a revolution to help the low castes to break away the shakles of the caste sytem. Did Guru ravidass not talk about ‘Begampura’ and dreamed of raj where every had food clothing and shelter and where all live together happily. I say to all Indians- wake up you are in the 21st century, get rid of backwardness.Imagine India without caste. Revolt Now!

Desiangel you are an uneducated and stupid person. Speak and write like an educated person. You sound like a getto person. You let your emotions get the better of you. Use your head stupid.Do your research check out that sahota is a surname that falls in chamar, valmik and jatt castes. You will be shocked by the truth. Also Sandhu is also a chamar name you pratt. As for ‘sandu and singh’ you’re implying chamars can’t be singh’s. Who taught you that you idiot. Only jatts think like that which is why are despised by virtually all other sikhs from other castes. You abviously don’t know sikh history. Who was it who saved the life of Guru Govind Singh at the battle of chamkaur against the mughal forces. It was Baba Sangat Singh a chamar, who exchanged his own clothes with Guru Govind’s and allowed Guru Govind Singh to escape and live so that he could continue his mission. Baba Sangat Singh and all the other sikhs at the battle were butchered by the muslims forces. He was Guru’s Sikh and Singh. Jatts don’t decide who is Singh or not. The Guru decided that. Jatts diots such you are not fit to be sikhs and only disgrace the sikh religion. It seems to you are the ‘dumb ass and don’t know anything’ or have not learnt anything except live in total ignorance. Your contribution proves you are a village idiot.
February 2, 2012 at 9:06 am
Desiangel do not talk like unclutured and uneducated person. If you will respect other caste/religion, they will regard. Try to learn good manners. The Chamars community are also a martial race and its members are the citizen of India. You can check this from Mahar Regiment, Sikh Light Infentary and Chamar Regiment. We were in the front line as and when the the nation was in trouble. The people from my community may be poor but you will find them honest. We never took any action against India because we love over country and we are original resident of India. If you are educated person plz read Indian history. If you think yourself superior then remember God has made us equial and Indian Constitution also provide equial fundamental rights to all its nationals. Let the nation developed. Prove your contribution as a good citizen.
