Are They The Same In Terms Of Class?

[coolio123]

Hi There

I read a post on here about caste and that our parents want us to marry our own caste due to being in the same profession.

I wanted to know if there is any difference between a Sikh Kamboj from the punjarb (who are know as farmers) and Sikh Jatt from the punjarb (also know as the farmers)???

I know before sikhism was made we were all wither hindu's or muslims (sorry if this is wrong and please correct me)

What cant a Sikh Kamboh and a Sikh Jatt marry one another? and what will the parents says that the difference is to why this can not be/ or can be?

Any sikh kambohs out there please reply with your own veiws.

Thanks

was that really necessary? is he not a human being who deserves to be spoken to with a little respect? manners cost nothing.

and to the original poster..there is no such thing as caste in sikhism. the older generation unfortunately, still tend to classify themselves as jatt, ramghariya, this that and the other. the only label we should be giving ourselves is khalsa panth. ive never heard of "kambohs" but a) yes, they should be allowed to marry "jatts" and b) such labels shouldnt even exist. i feel like im swearing whenever i have to say jatt/ramghariya etc.

please feel free to ask questions! we all have them, none of us are antarjami lol

Bruv, you should marry anyone you wish to, regardless of caste Caste is just a Hindu culture which is practised by most punjabis today. "Know people by the light illuminating them and do not ask their caste; for in the hereafter no one is differentiated by caste."

These guys can say Sikhism has no cast and can talk all day long about it

The fact is there is the cast system in the minds of your parents so your doing to have to find a way to deal with it......... Get a elder on your side "grandfather"

Everyone must have heard "Love is blind".

So when in love; caste, class, religion etc aspects don't really matter.

Same thing applies to "Kaam".

Long time back i heard a Katha by Sant Singh ji Maskeen where he mentioned why the system of "Swayamvar" i.e (girl finding her own husband) FAILED. The practice was discontinued as things started to get ugly after marriage due to incompatibility.

So going for an Arranged Marriage is still the best option in the long run.

Thank you all for you comments and I know everyone has their own view on caste/sikhism.

I know we shouldnt follow caste however there is caste within sikhism if we like it or not and I know the only way to banish this is for the younger generation to marry out of caste and teach their childeren that they are sikh and sikh only.

As there is caste in todays world, how do you go about convincing the older generation to allow people to marry whoever you want?

all of you who use your family surname follow caste, those who use singh and Kaur dont.fact.

I use singh and I will always use singh.

My parents says I can only marry my own caste and I dont want to a I want to marry whoever I want, but dont want to hurt my parents at the same time. A bit confused!

Thanks again guys for your views on this.

Fair enough. If your parents don't agree, I'm sure you can find someone from the "same caste" who will be a suitable match for you (and your parents).
