Jat Awakening Movement

The Jat Awakening Movement was a socio-political movement among the Jat community in India, primarily during the early 20th century. It aimed to promote social unity, cultural pride, and political rights for Jats, who are traditionally an agrarian community. The movement sought greater recognition, land rights, and better socio-economic conditions, often advocating for political empowerment within colonial and post-independence India. It played a key role in fostering community identity and mobilization, influencing regional politics and social reforms. Overall, it was a response to socio-economic challenges and a desire for self-assertion among the Jats.
