I have often come across questions from various brethren about the 'anti- jat' sentiment and it puzzles a lot of people. So here is my take on it, correct me if I'm wrong :
1. Language- I have been studying languages and communication all my life and there is little doubt that language plays a crucial role in how you communicate. The tone, the manner, the words , the gestures, everything matters. The problem arises and miscommunication occurs when two different cultures interact and have diferent methods of communication via their gestures, forms of expression and language.
Most people say that jats , especially of Haryana, have a very rude way of talking and this pushes them away from them and form a negative opinion without any solid evidence and their reaction can be understood through psychological factors of association .For example , the Pavlov's theory of (https://www.simplypsychology.org/pavlov.html) association explains that , in simpler words, our minds work based on associations, when we hear a song and we attribute images and certain feelings to it , the next time we hear it we are likely to have the same response to it. Similarly, if someone talks in loud voice to us , since childhood we associate this as a threat or a negative emotion and thus it seeps into our sub conscious , hence the next time we encounter someone talking to us in loud or harsh dialect/language, our rational brain takes a backward step and our subconscious mind and 'fight or flight' responses judge it as a harmful outsider we must stay away from.
This is the problem, despite the evidences to contrary we tend to form a positive image of a person who speaks softly and sweetly(even if he's a psychopath or a bad element) and we form a negative image of a person who is straightforward, minces no words and is not diplomatic (despite being a good person).
I noticed Panipat dialect is a lot more appealing compared to other dialects and i wonder why that isn't used widely. Take the case of Sikhs/ Punjabis, their language doesn't strike as aggressive but is still punchy and confident. This is the key, to not offend the other person aka soft -skills.
2. Media Propaganda - It is no secret to those who care to look into the ownership patterns of various forms of media as to who owns the media and the narratives, and of course they have no intent to portray jatts in good light so they do the opposite as it suits them. People are still ignorant , look around you'd find so many that you'll lose count, and hence they believe what they are told. It is not the first world audience which is analytical, rational and can see through propagandas. Just look at portrayal of jats in movies, news and how they are covered! If a jat achieves something good or great, he/she is an Indian but if there is a criminal or negative activity, immediately his jat caste is highlighted. you'd not find in mainstream media a title like this : ' jat Manushi Chillar won a crown, a jat player gave his life for the country or won a medla' but you would find a title easily' a jat shot 2 people, a jat robbed a man' etc.
3. Lack of adequate representation in politics- No matter what people say, I personally believe that jats do not have adequate representation in politics and erstwhile so called leaders who reached high positions did not cash on those positions to better the community's image and instead got lost in the politics world for personal gains , titles and forgot the main objective of their posts; namely to work for the upliftment of the poor and be the voice of voiceless.
4. Highly misleading portrayal of jats in books/history- Everyone knows that history is manipulated by those who write those books and despite my attempts to know our true history, all I find is negative portrayals in books. A upsc aspirant from bihar once said to me ' you jatts are only looters and thieves ' and I was stunned to hear this , and he showed a book, yes a proper Indian history book stating that. Even if that was the case , half truths are more dangeorus than lies and no mention of Jat kings or their roots ,where they came from, appropriating them into caste system despite the evidences that they originally did not accept the Brahmanical world view or order.
Moreover, some of our brothers who like Hinduism so much , that they go against their own community and call them traitors who are critical of evils of Hindusim and how it operates in real world, not the one claimed in their ideal narratives.(IRONY DIED A SLOW DEATH) Inhe ye bhi nahi pata ki kaun inka well wisher hai aur kaun dushman aur apne hi bhaiyo ko blame karte hai. Disappointing. Hinduism or any other religion I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH, I have problem with those ignorant people who don't understand that these are used as tools by thekedars of religion' to serve their interests.
What would happen when people are only shown skewed history of 'a people' ,they will believe what they read, see or hear.
These are the main ones, feel free to add.
