<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->No. Some follow both religion. Not sure how cut-sikh or cut-Jats want to identified themselves. Punjab is very mixed state, Hindus and Sikhs visit each other religious places. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I know that Punjab is mixed, obvious that Hindus and Sikhs do visit each other's religious places but I am talking in the sense that do all Jatts register themselves as Sikh in the census, for example Khatris are mixed, they have Hindu Khatris and Sikh Khatris, same thing with Aroras, I was just wondering if there are any Hindu Jats left along with Sikh Jatts.
The peculiar thing about Jatts in Punjab seems to be that over time all of them joined the Khalsa Panth while others like Khatris or Aroras only had some from their families join the panth. Interestingly this seems to be restricted to only the Jatts in today's Punjab, the Jats of Haryana did not seem to have joined the panth very much even though they were also part of historical Punjab.
