  > Jatts are predominantly farmers So are most Marwaris (Jodhpur region), but a subset of Biradaris migrated east to work in commerce. Some Jatts > No Jatts or Khatris were in Kolkata. Bullshit. Aroras have always had a decent sized commercial community across the region that was formerly the Bengal Presidency. I know a couple Aroras who's families have been in Kolkata for over a century at this point (rice trading). And some of the southern Jatts in Rajasthan were called "Marwaris" by the locals in the east (Marwari being a linguistic/regional denonym, not a caste based one). Shouldn't have listed Punjabi Jatts - just waking up. Also, the Bengal Presidency wasn't only Kolkata - it included a number of other towns and cities that had commercial needs (hence why the communities above entered that segment).
