Low-skill jobs
It should be mentioned that Jats work low-skill jobs such as "worker jobs" like farm labourer, manual harvesting and other low-investment jobs such as Amazon driver, truck driver, and other driver jobs (this is a big business in the Punjab reason and is influenced in Punjabi culture). Jatts work "Dalit" jobs because they are technically Dalits and bottom varna (shudra). 2605:8D80:405:3525:B928:8EA3:1A6C:6EE9 (talk) 10:44, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
hahaha, so call sick minded brahman Pulkitrathi (talk) 05:48, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
First and foremost, it must be understood that Jaat is not merely a group but a proud clan that eschews the confines of the so-called Brahmanical caste system. Within the ethos of the Jaat community, there exists a profound reverence for hard work, where no task is deemed too menial or insignificant. Whether behind the wheel of a truck or engaged in any other occupation, Jaats carry out their endeavors with dignity, devoid of any sense of shame. However, it is imperative to note that the Jaat ethos vehemently opposes any form of exploitation or deceitful practices aimed at the society. Despite their steadfast dedication to labor, the Jaats find themselves relegated to the lower echelons of the Brahminical societal hierarchy. This positioning is a consequence of the Jaats' vocal condemnation of the orthodox stratagems deployed by Brahmins to manipulate and deceive the common populace.

I understand that they may be a part of the Jat community, but we need to follow our policies. As mentioned on my talk page, please provide modern source by a reliable author! This is a Raj era source; we don't use such sources; read WP:RAJ! That's the reason I had mentioned the term 'modern'; we need modern scholarly sources. Thanks. Ekdalian (talk) 11:24, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Godara is an important part of Jat Clans, many books have been written about them. As a source, I can show the book written by Author Manisha Chaudhary, and the book "Godara Vanshavali Evm Itihas" written by Rajkumar Godara, there is evidence of Godara Jats, but they are identified from their history, hence it is based on the old history. I can share the links of modern books written by many authors but they are writing history of Godara Jats. Apart from this, what are the sources, can you tell me, I will share. If books writen by authors in this modern era mentioning history of Godara Clan, is verifiable. Then I can share! If it isn't. There're no sources available! As per Wikipedia policies. There're many living person, who are politicians, athletes. is it acceptable? As a source.. Albertx07 (talk) 11:56, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, please share a reliable source by a modern author (post Raj era). Thanks. Ekdalian (talk) 13:11, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
