== Sindhi Zutts are not the same as Punjabi Jatts = Theory Debunked They are the SAME

Their is one big mistake with it. I am from sindh Karachi. Their are no Local sindhi Jatts all the Jatts in sindh are either from Pakistani Punjab Province or indian punjab that came here after partition. The Zutt which was mentioned by caliphate are a local Sindhi clan who still exists but are camel herders. I think their is a confusion here because of the same sound. Yaqub50 (talk) 13:07, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Zutt is an arabic / persian word for the ethnicity jatt 2001:8003:471E:D100:1928:6BEA:EB44:8DD3 (talk) 15:56, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Zutt" is indeed the Arabic word for Jatt, but it's not accurate. It's like the word "Firanj/Farang" (Frank) being used to describe Crusaders, even though all Crusaders were obviously not Franks. Even on the Zutt page itself, it mentions how Arabs included groups like Andaghars, Sayabijas, Qufs, and Jadgals. It's a confederation at best.

Otherwise, at least make a distinction between the high Iran_N Sindhi Jatts, and the high Steppe Jatts (of Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Western Uttar-Pradesh). They are genetically and culturally distinct. KhandaEnjoyer03 (talk) 01:11, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dude, Punjabi Jatts also have high Iran_N (IVC) DNA. In fact, L1a2 is a major Jat Y-Haplogroup, which is of Zagrosian origin. Are you going to write off half of the Jat population because they don't fit your autosomal Steppe conditions? If you do that, you'd be ignoring most of Muslim Jat history, and a solid chunk of Sikh Jat history. Why would you propose that?

If your argument is that Sindhi Jats are distinct, then make that case without Steppe kanging. Forticus02 (talk) 21:18, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

and those jatts forefathers which were/are , in indian / pakistani punjab who have came after pation , migrated from the broader balochistan and sindh region in the medeval to Punjab in an attempt to find sufficient agriculture fertility 2001:8003:471E:D100:1928:6BEA:EB44:8DD3 (talk) 16:01, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong. Jatts do not originate from Sindh, contrary to what this article claims. If they did, then all Jatts would have the characteristically high Iran_N genetic component found in Sindhis (instead of the unusually high Steppe, especially among Haryanvis). There is also archeological evidence of Jatt figures like Shalinder. KhandaEnjoyer03 (talk) 01:13, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You are correct. Even if we ignore that Zutt was a generic term for Indus pastoralists, we cannot ignore that Sindhi Jatts (Sammats, Lohanas, Jamotes) and Punjabi Jatts are culturally and genetically distinct. KhandaEnjoyer03 (talk) 01:16, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

i am not sure if you are saying im correct or wrong . 2001:8003:471E:D100:45D1:EAF:1913:2C3F (talk) 11:39, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Bunnypranav (talk) 12:16, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What I think should be changed (format using {{textdiff}}):
In Short the supporting line of article detail acquisition pera a user has suspiciously add an unsupported statement emphasised the literal meaning into complex of Jatt and Jaat without consolidating any professional commitment In my genuine consideration i would recommend to add the alternates of Jat such as Jatt with double "t" and Jaat with long vowel "a" with other notable word derivative such as Jutt or Zutt which he unfortunately not mentioned prior to the proximity of Jat entity :

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined.

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

I just want to suggest the minor intro is quite overweighted and possess way more acquisition on the phrase observation such as Jat spelt also Jaat and Jatt which was undisputed expansion perform by @Dimpies [1] on his latest edit and In additional, the supporting line of article detail is partially just bit more exposure of Jat integral definition thus, hypothetically emphasised the literal meaning of Jat into such narrow complexity of Jatt and Jaat without consolidating any professional commitment In my genuine consideration i would likely to recommend to add the alternates of Jat such as Jatt with double "t" and Jaat with long vowel "a" with other notable word derivative such as Jutt or Zutt^[1] into a whole ethical section of terminology which he unfortunately not mentioned prior to the proximity of Jat entity

Comment: I thinks it should genuinely need an dedicated acknowledgment in the terminology to ensure an systematic resemblance of Jat identity. Thank and regard

There should be a hatnote in the lede describing the difference between "Jaat” and "Jatt"

These words are usually linguistic descriptions from Haryanvi and Punjabi/Urdu on how the words are pronounced in the language. Jaat and Jatt also serve as a way to differentiate religious beliefs, Jaat is Hindu, Jatt is Sikh, and Jutt is Muslim. 2605:8D80:406:2FE4:1967:3C2E:6148:E00D (talk) 19:12, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There are a disproportionate amounts of Jatts in Canada. It should be added to the infobox. About 1 in 20 people in Canada are Jatts. 2605:8D80:325:3FC6:EC0D:8DC0:B83:12A7 (talk) 16:26, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Iranian" origin of Jats + "Zutt" in modern Iraq

I don't know which troll is editing this, but NO, Jats are NOT an "Iranian tribe".

Furthermore, there is practically nothing left of the Zutt people, those Indus pastoralists settled in 6th-11th century Iraq, so to imply that proper Jat clans live in modern Iraq is a lie! The most you can say is that there is still a district (Abu al-Khaseeb) named after them. But you should remember, as mentioned in the Zutt article itself, that Zutt was a generic exonym used by Arab chroniclers! Good luck trying to prove definitively that such-and-such Zutt is definitely a Jat. Heck, geneticists and historians argue that the Jats of Balochistan and Sindh aren't related to other Jats, so first focus on proving that!

Whoever is moderating this article, undo these edits and ban that troll. Forticus02 (talk) 21:05, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Request for revision and clarification:

I contest the assertion linking Jats to the Zutt community, citing irrational exuberance. Given the significant demographic differences between the two groups, I propose separating their discussions into distinct articles.

To avoid misunderstandings, I suggest:

1. Removing the exaggerated statement. 2. Seeking third-party input for objective refinement.

Jats are a substantial community within the Indian geographical region, with a notably larger population compared to Zutt. A more nuanced approach will ensure accuracy and clarity.

Thank if my concentration reach to editor."

Powerinhand (talk) 23:20, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

100% agreed. "Zutt" was a generic exonym, akin to "Firanj" or "Moor". And while some of those who fell under the Zutt category might have been of Iranian origin, Jats in general are Indics. At most, you can say Indo-Iranian, but not just Iranian. Forticus02 (talk) 01:28, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
