Jat militia
The Jat militia refers to paramilitary groups and social organizations associated with the Jat community, primarily in northern India. The Jats are a traditionally agrarian group known for their strong warrior culture. Over time, some Jats formed militias for various reasons, including political mobilization, land rights, and asserting their identity. These militias have sometimes been involved in protests and conflicts to advocate for their demands, such as reservations in government jobs and educational institutions. The Jat community plays a significant role in regional politics and has a history of resisting government policies that they perceive as unfavorable.
