Jat rights movements

The Jat rights movements are efforts by the Jat community, a prominent agricultural group in northern India, to secure social, political, and economic recognition and better opportunities. Historically marginalized in certain contexts, Jats have sought affirmative action, representation, and development measures to address issues like land rights, access to education, and employment. These movements often involve protests, demands for reservations (affirmative action), and political activism to influence policies that benefit their community, aiming to enhance their status and address longstanding grievances related to equality and access.
