Jat Politics

Jat politics refers to the political involvement and influence of the Jat community, primarily in northern India, notably in states like Haryana, Punjab, and western Uttar Pradesh. Traditionally, the Jats are an agrarian caste known for their strong social ties and assertive identity. In recent decades, they have become increasingly active in regional politics, often leveraging their significant voting power to demand greater representation, agricultural benefits, and reservations in government jobs. Their political movements can significantly impact regional governance and political alliances, reflecting broader issues of caste, class, and socio-economic development in India.
