Caste, Patti and Faction in the Life of a Punjab Village By Inayat Ullah* The village Tararwala * 1 lies four miles south of the river Chenab, on the north bank of the Nullah Wahg which is usually in spate during the rainy season. Whenever this spate synchronizes with an inundation of the river, the paddy fields are flooded, and if the water stands on the fields for more than two days, the crop is destroyed. This has happened practically in all the last seven years, reducing the villagers to abject poverty, and has, in a way, tamed the wild, daring, and proud Jat who live here. The village lies at the tail end of the minor canal which comes from the Lower Chenab Canal; this makes the water supply of the village more scarce. The cultivators, for whom the rice crop is both, food and cash crop, requiring relatively much water, sometimes give more value to water than to their life. With his simple wooden plow, primitive tools and emaciated livestock, the farmer toils for three months under the scorching sun of June, July and August. In the exacting process of cultivation of the crop, all the village people take part — and this labor in Pakistani climate influences to various degrees the social attitude of the villagers. Other crops sown are wheat, tobacco and sugar-cane, but they are just enough for local needs. The rice is sold at the Hafizabad market, 15 miles from the village. The village is connected with Hafizabad by a road for 10 miles; the rest is a muddy zig-zag trail, hardly passable in the rainy season. Hafizabad is a famous rice market of West Pakistan, situated on the railway line connecting Rawalpindi and Lyallpur, where influences of modern life and rural culture are hesitatingly embracing one another. The area is an old settlement, and Tararwala is perhaps one of the oldest villages of the area. The majority of the landowning class in this area are Jats; and Tarar, a subcaste of the Jats, are most powerful in every respect. The membership in the Provincial Assembly, in the District Board, and all other important public offices belong to Tarar members. In the area they are known for their shrewdness, intelligence, diplomacy, power-hunger and pride, while their opponents blame them for lack * Der Verf. arbeitet als Assistent in The Socio-Economic Research Project of the University of the Punjab, Lahore (West-Pakistan). Er stammt aus einem der von ihm' genannten Dörfer. — Die Redaktion. 1 A fictitious name.
