Hello friends,*** help me.actually m from jat sikh family and my friend is from same religion but of different caste.He is lubana.I talked to my parents ,they don't allow me to marry with him.B'cz they think that he is from scheduled caste and I don't know that lubana is a high caste or low.I can't ask about this to him.I don' want to hurt him by asking this to him ,so *** clear my doubts about this caste and how can I convince my parents for him.

Lubanas are high caste,they are richer than jatts and brahmin,because their ancestors are shah and lubanas are great tradeing community and their roots are from turkey and afghan,they became a warrior after intermarriages with rajputs,
If any person has problem with it then check the book "glossary of punjab and balochisthan" written by britsher and it is available online too and you can read it online.

Oh well, seems like you and your parents are typical illiterate Jatts, who consider themselves higher than everybody else!!

There is NO Caste system in Sikhism. Everybody is Equal and this equality concept applies to Sikh and non-Sikhs.

Just stick to marrying a Drunk, illerate Jatt who curses all the time and would beat u up for not making his roti lmao.

Okay I agree Lubanas are the richest landlord community among Sikhs but let's not forget that all the Gurus opposed the caste system. Everybody is EQUAL in Sikhi, it's just that some people are more fortunate than others.

To their residence.most of them are landlords and nri.they have seprate villages as like jatts and sainis.you can find many articles stating that jatts and lunbanas are equal.most of them are nri.you read about their villages which are richest among Punjab one of this is nangal lubana,maqsoodpur,Noorpur,Tanda,and many more.
