paapiman Posted June 6, 2015 Report Share Posted June 6, 2015 (edited) What is the literal meaning of the word "Jatt"? This person below has narrated it (listen after 12.00 min) as Jaminee Tattu (an animal working in the land).https://www.facebook.com/inderjitsinghballowalia/videos/813349605409528/Any scholarly opinion?Bhul chuk maafWaheguru jee kaa KhalsaWaheguru jee kee Fateh Edited June 7, 2015 by paapiman 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koi Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 I was taught that, Jatts traditionally worship Shivji, who has "Jattaa" , hence the word Jatt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bhul chuk maaf Waheguru jee kaa Khala Waheguru jee kee Fateh Possibly. But I have heard Guru Arjan also use a different term,' jatro', for jatts, but never this jamini-tattu. I don't think any background that has closeness to farming or landowning, such as jatts, lobanas, kamboj, Saini and sometimes Rajputs, has any derogatory terms such as tattu connected to the roots of their names. I think it's more of a term made up by people who have some jealousy or envy. (There's nothing envious about being a jatt these days, many are in a rough state at the moment, both inside and outside india): ਇਹ ਬਿਧਿ ਸੁਨਿ ਕੈ ਜਾਟਰੋ ਉਠਿ ਭਗਤੀ ਲਾਗਾ ॥ इह बिधि सुनि कै जाटरो उठि भगती लागा ॥ Ih biḏẖ sun kai jātro uṯẖ bẖagṯī lāgā. Hearing this, Dhanna the Jaat applied himself to devotional worship. ਮਿਲੇ ਪ੍ਰਤਖਿ ਗੁਸਾਈਆ ਧੰਨਾ ਵਡਭਾਗਾ ॥੪॥੨॥ मिले प्रतखि गुसाईआ धंना वडभागा ॥४॥२॥ Mile parṯakẖ gusā▫ī▫ā ḏẖannā vadbẖāgā. ||4||2|| The Lord of the Universe met him personally; Dhanna was so very blessed. ||4||2|| Edited July 6, 2017 by londondajatt 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
