Jat Azaadi Morcha

The Jat Azaadi Morcha is a movement primarily associated with the Jat community in India, aimed at securing greater political representation, job reservations, and recognition of their socio-economic status. It gained prominence in 2016 during large-scale protests in Haryana, where participants demanded government actions to address perceived disparities. The movement emphasizes issues like caste-based reservations in education and employment, advocating for the rights and welfare of the Jat community within the broader context of India's affirmative action policies. The protests sometimes led to significant unrest, highlighting tensions over caste identities and resource allocation in the country.
