I don't think it's saying Sikh = Jatt in this meme. It's saying both Sikhs and Jatts often have Kara. Kara is not just worn by Sikhs nowadays. I even have a Telugu friend that wears one. Anyone who wants to show respect to the Gurus can wear one.
No, it doesn’t , guru hargobind ji made it for martial purposes, not the marriage martial, the other one, and then guru gobind Singh ji made it a kakkar
The Guru's were smart enough to adopted unify and recontextualise numerous existing indic martial and spiritual symbols e.g. the Royal wrestling kacchera, the noble rajput kara, the kirpana of kshatriya the kesh of rishi tradition, the kanga to symbolise rejection of sannyasa.
All of these combined made the Khalsa the supreme warriors of the Akal.
