JAT HISTORY
Picture: The Jat Regiment of the Indian Army.
The Jat people (Jat: जाट, also spelt Jatt: जट्ट), are a 33 million strong ethnic group of people native to South Asia mainly in the Punjab region of India and Pakistan as well as in Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Rajasthan, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand , Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Maharashtra et all. They are classed various such as an ethnic group, race, tribe and a people. James Tod on the basis of earlier historical evidence enlisted them in the list of Thirty Six Royal Races of India.
The Jat people are considered as the merged descendants of Indo-Aryans, Indo-Scythian tribes of the region, merging to form the Jat people.
An uninformed view is that Jat is a farmer-caste (caste = social group) but Jat is really a race (race = ethnic group). Only a subset of the over 900 million farmers in south Asia are Jats. There are specific Jat DNA markers in the genetic profile, as highlighted in the Jat Genetics section.
The Jat people follow different faiths and are engaged in different professions. They have a discrete and distinct cultural history that can be historically traced back to ancient times.
The Jat people were designated by the British Empire as a Martial Race. Martial Races were races & peoples that were naturally warlike and aggressive in battle, and possess qualities like courage, loyalty, self sufficiency, physical strength, resilience, orderliness, hard working, fighting tenacity and military strategy. The British Empire recruited heavily from these Martial Races for service in their Armies. A strategy that is still used today (21st century) in Armies of South Asian countries e.g. The famous Jat Regiment & the Gurkhas.
Over the centuries, Indian subcontinent has seen the rise of several Jat kingdoms, Jat leaders, freedom fighters, and businessmen.
Jat heroes such as Shaheed Bhagat Singh, Sir Chottu Ram, Maharaja Surajmal, Chaudhary Charan Singh, Maharaja Ranjit Singh, and Chaudhary Mahendra Singh Tikait are considered the pride of the Jat race.
