Jat Landlordism

Jat Landlordism refers to a socio-economic pattern where land-owning members of the Jat community predominantly control large agricultural landholdings, often acting as landlords. They lease this land to tenant farmers who work it and give a portion of their produce as rent. This system can reinforce social hierarchies, limiting economic mobility for tenant farmers and shaping regional land ownership dynamics. It is closely associated with rural power structures and can impact agricultural productivity, resource distribution, and social relationships within farming communities.
