Muslim Jats

Muslim Jats are a community primarily found in the northern regions of India and Pakistan, particularly in Punjab and Haryana. Historically, Jats were an agricultural group known for farming and pastoralism. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, many Jats converted to Islam, influenced by social and political changes. Today, they are recognized for their cultural identity, which incorporates aspects of both Islamic traditions and Jat customs. The community plays a significant role in regional politics and agriculture, contributing to the socio-economic landscape of their respective countries.
