Jat Kingdom

The Jat Kingdom refers to a historical region in North India, primarily associated with the Jat people, a community known for their agrarian roots and warrior traditions. Prominent in the 17th to 19th centuries, the Jats established powerful states, particularly in present-day Haryana, Punjab, and Rajasthan. Their notable ruler, Maharaja Suraj Mal of Bharatpur, expanded territories and enhanced local governance. The Jat Kingdoms played a significant role in resisting Mughal control and contributing to regional politics, leaving a lasting cultural impact in the area, including rich traditions in art and agriculture.
