Jat Revolt

The Jat Revolt refers to a series of uprisings by the Jat community in North India, particularly in the 18th century, against Mughal rule and later British authority. The Jats, primarily agrarian and known for their warrior traditions, sought to assert their rights and control over land and resources. The most significant revolt occurred in the 1760s under leaders like Suraj Mal, resulting in the establishment of Jat kingdoms in regions like Rajasthan and Haryana. These revolts reflected broader resistance against colonial and feudal oppression, showcasing the Jats' quest for autonomy and justice during a tumultuous era in Indian history.
