Jat Arakshan Sangharsh Samiti (JASS)

The Jat Arakshan Sangharsh Samiti (JASS) is an organization that advocates for the Jat community in India, primarily seeking reservation benefits in government jobs and educational institutions. Formed in response to perceived socio-economic disadvantages, JASS plays a critical role in mobilizing Jat interests, often organizing protests and political action to push for their demands. The group gained significant attention during large-scale protests in 2016, highlighting the community's push for inclusion in the Other Backward Classes (OBC) category, aiming to secure better opportunities and representation in society.
