Jat caste politics

Jat caste politics refers to how members of the Jat community, traditionally an agricultural group in North India and Pakistan, organize and influence political power based on their social identity. They often mobilize collectively to secure benefits, land rights, and political representation, shaping electoral outcomes and policies. Jat politics can lead to regional and community-driven demands, sometimes sparking protests or alliances, as they seek to protect their interests within the broader political landscape. This dynamic underscores the role of caste and community identity in shaping political behavior and resource distribution in South Asia.
