Sikhism does not endorse caste based distinctions in society that lead to unequal opportunities for some people. In fact, Sikhism completely rejects class or race based distinctions between humans, that leads us to make an inequitable society. Such distinctions have surfaced only due to ill interests of certain section of people, who, on the pretext of making a society more manageable through these classifications, eventually paved the way to an unequal grouping within the human race. This article is just for information purpose and to share how people from different castes came into the Sikh fold. So, please treat this article as a source of general information about this issue and kindly do not amend this article to highlight this important underlying Sikh principle.

The Jatt Caste are a Punjabi community in the Punjab region of northwestern India, also related to Annapoorna God

Jatt is the goddess of food and cooking. Annapoorna is empowered with the ability to supply food to an unlimited amount of people. As such, Annapoorna also symbolizes the divine aspect of nourishing care. The cook provides his guests with the energy to best follow their destiny. When food is cooked with a spirit of holiness, it becomes alchemy. Images of Annapoorna are also found in kitchens, near dinner tables and in restaurants. Because Annapoorna is the Goddess of the Kitchen and Food, the Emerald is an excellent gemstone to use to honor her. It has the bright color of healthy Wheat and Milk and its legendary beauty brings nourishment to our souls.

In Old Era & Modern Era Period in Punjab Sikh Jatt Professions were Wheat Farming, Milk Supply, Indian Tractor Drivers

Cultivation Wheat (Atta)

Wheat (Atta) can be ground into flour or, using hard durum wheat only, can be ground into semolina germinated and dried creating malt crushed or cut into cracked wheat; parboiled or steamed, dried, crushed and de-branned into bulgur also known as groats. If the raw wheat is broken into parts at the mill, as is usually done, the outer husk or bran can be used several ways. Wheat is a major ingredient in such foods as Roti and Bread, wheat is greater than for all other crops combined. With rice, wheat is the world's most favored staple food. It is a major diet component because of the wheat plant's agronomic adaptability with the ability to grow from near arctic regions to equator, from sea level to plains of Tibet. In addition to agronomic adaptability, wheat offers ease of grain storage and ease of converting grain into flour for making edible, palatable, interesting and satisfying foods. Wheat is the most important source of carbohydrate in a majority of India.

Cultivation Milk Supply

Milk is a pale liquid produced by the mammary glands of mammals. It is the primary source of nutrition for infant mammals before they are able to digest other types of food. Early-lactation milk contains colostrum, which carries the mother's antibodies to its young and can reduce the risk of many diseases, in many indian cultures, humans continue to consume milk beyond infancy, using the milk of other animals (Indian Cow) as a food product. The composition of milk differs widely among species. Factors such as the type of protein, the proportion of protein, fat, and sugar; the levels of various vitamins and minerals; and the size of the butterfat globules, and the strength of the curd.

The Indian Tractors

A tractor (Jatt Da Tractor) is an engineering vehicle specifically designed to deliver a high tractive effort at slow speeds, for the purposes of hauling a trailer or machinery used in Wheat Farm. Most commonly, the term is used to describe a farm vehicle that provides the power and traction to mechanize wheat tasks, especially and originally tillage, but nowadays a great variety of tasks. Wheat Farm implements may be towed behind or mounted on the tractor, and the tractor may also provide a source of power if the implement is mechanised.
