Ancient and History of Jat

Jat’s They are divided into various clans and about 300 gotras. They are believed to be an Indo-Aryan tribe, connected to the Vedic civilization (4500 BC - 2500 BC) that existed along the Saraswati river. Even today, the highest density of Jat population is along the dried bed of Saraswati, starting from Haryana, going on to Punjab and ending up in Rajasthan.

Role of Jat’s In Haryana and India

Jat’s play a predominant role in Agriculture, soldiering and cattle rearing have been the main occupation of the Jats, but now they are branching out in other fields like military and police. They are also well represented in government civil services. Though the common definition refers to only the Hindu Jats, a significant number of Jats are Sikhs and Muslims. The Jats are not a homogeneous ethnic group living in a particular area and speaking a single language. Rather, they are a people who live scattered around the world among several ethnic groups, yet retain their own identity. This distinction is often based on occupation and heritage. The Jats are primarily located in north India and southern Pakistan, although there are said to be some communities in Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Russia, Iran and Ukraine. However, their origin, history, and current dispersion are spread much wider.

The first opposition to Aurangzeb's autocratic rule came from the Jats of Mathura. In 1669, the sturdy and hardworking peasantry of Jats under the leadership of Gokla, zamindar of Tilpat, rose against and killed the Imperial Faujdar Abdun-Nabi. It took more than one year for the powerful Mogul forces to subdue the Jats. Gokul was killed and his family forcibly converted to Islam. But this did not deter the Jats and they once again rose in rebellion in 1685 under the leadership of Raja Ram. Akbar's tomb in Sikandra was plundered by them in 1688. Finally the Jats were defeated and Raja Ram slain in 1691. But the brave Jats again got organized under the leadership of Churaman and revolted. They continued a strong armed resistance against the Mughals after Aurangzeb's death

Jat royal cast of North India But Modern Jat’s are Not royal But Why?

Choudhary Devi Lal was the Great leader among the Jat’s after independence of India. My father told me that in 1985 CH. Devi Lal at Rohtak Rally propose reservation for the jat along with other caste but some jat from the Rohtak and Sonipat District of Haryana oppose loyally and ask their leader that if we are included in the reservation category then what the royalty left with the jat’s. But present situation is different. Now people from the Jat Community demanding and agitating for reservation. Jat’s gotra of Hooda was royal caste but now it is observed that the Jat are found in Government services at the level of peon and they does not hesitate to be peon or Personal assistance or helper in Govt Jobs. It is not that they become the poor or something gets wrong with them but their royalty has gone. I know some people from the Jat cast whose financial position is sound but they are still serving as a peon or personal assistance.
