Dear Upendra
There may be temples in more than 90% villages but jats going to temples may be less than 5% or rather I can say negligible.
Jitender - Deshwal Ji, Jo kiloi wala mandir hai shivji ka. Uska hi praman lyo. Aapke time mein kitne log poojya karte usne? It is located few acres away from our farms. But my ancestors never visited there. Mein dada te poochya karta ek ke kime sachi ee shivling paya tha ude. To nue bole ek kime na nire jhad-bojhde they er us baman parivar ne khan kaman ka rah toh liya. Now a days, aapke gaon tak line lagti hai usmein entry ke liye ShivRatri par.
Pahele jab dharm ka itna andha anusaran nahi tha tab log jyada vyavhar kushal they. Aaj log bhi jyada dharmik ho gae hein (Iss case mein hindu dharmik ) lekin vyavhar girta ja raha hai.
To in nutshell this Kanvad and all is I feel andha Anusaran that become more popular initially in sulphis and now in others too. But to me it is Bling following without much faith in holiness.
Jaisa aapne bataya Satyepal Ji, aapke gaon mein School ke opposite kuch saal pahele (Dhamar mor ki taraf) ek baba aake baithya tha kuch mahine. Usne ek jhopdi type bana li thi. Aaaj hude ek mandir numa structure bana diya gaya hai. Aur pichale sunday ki sham ko mein gaon se aa raha tha to dekha ki 5-7 lungade kati jhoom rahe nase mein er uss mandir numa structure se nikal rahe they. To this is the reality. We log nasha tohvein sein er ghane ee isse sein jo har Somvar rohtak se Kiloi shivji mandir mein Shiv ji ki pindi pakdan aavein sein Gadiyan ki rail banae. Wo dharmatma aise hein ki apne sath bread ke packets, kele, bhugde leke aate hein aur raste mein bikherte chalte hein ... kyonki unko dharam kamana hai ... lekin haramkhor aise hein ki utarke khilane mein unko dar lagta hai .... isliye gadi se hi feink dete hein ... iss chakkar mein kae baar unko dharam milte hue ... bandar doosre ki gadi ke neeche aa jate hein ...
You may find a large number of young Jats worshiping Hanuman. What was the situation 50 years or say 100 years back. May be a small % of what we have now. You posted a link about Kawadiyas got killed from Haryana. We are concerned about Jats. How many were the jats among those got killed.
One personal question, did your father or Jats of his age group bring kawar ever?
What was your age when you first time brought Kawar?
This, I am asking with the contention that this is recent phenomenon for jats.
I am still in touch with my family and friends in my village.
There may be one or two cases every year.
In the beginning, when first group of youngster went to bring Kawad were all Sulfi ( addicts who wanted to bring back Sulfa Bhang from Haridwar)
Jitender - Very true. This trend is very new. And in most of the cases is bling following.
Why you get carried away, when someone doesn't agree with you?
In your last post too, you got carried away and tried to prove that you are a celibate
and a virgin?
Now, you have questioned about my name and my intentions of spelling change. Actually, you assume too much.
Normally, we find सत्यपाल spelled as Satyapal. But the Change I made was at the time of my Matric Exam. I was too old to create a westernized impression of me as i was 40 years old when i migrated to New Zealand in 2001.
भाई मेरी तो रग रग में मेरा देश, मेरा प्रदेश, मेरा गाँव, मेरा परिवार बसा हुआ है !
मेरे गाँव के हम उम्र संगी साथी अब भी
सत्ते ही बुलाते हैं !
Cheers!
