Jat Rebellion

The Jat Rebellion refers to a series of uprisings by the Jat community, primarily in northern India, against British colonial rule in the mid-19th century. Key events occurred between 1857 and 1858 as part of the larger Indian Rebellion of 1857. The Jats, traditionally agricultural warriors, aimed to reclaim their rights and resist oppressive policies. Their revolt was marked by violent clashes and the establishment of temporary control over certain territories. Ultimately, the rebellion was suppressed, but it highlighted the growing discontent among various Indian communities against colonial authority and contributed to the broader struggle for independence.
