Jat Caste System

The Jat caste is a social group primarily found in northern India and Pakistan, known for their agricultural background. Historically, Jats were predominantly farmers, but over time, they have diversified into various professions, including military and business. They are associated with specific regions, particularly in states like Haryana, Punjab, and Uttar Pradesh. The Jat caste is characterized by a strong sense of community and cultural identity, often emphasizing agrarian values and traditions. While caste remains influential in social interactions, there have been movements advocating for greater equality and recognition in contemporary society.
