Rajput-Jat rivalry

The Rajput-Jat rivalry refers to the historical tensions and conflicts between the Rajputs, a warrior caste known for their chivalrous heritage, and the Jats, traditionally an agrarian community in North India. Rooted in social, economic, and political factors, this rivalry has manifested in various forms, including competition over land, power, and cultural identity. Over time, these groups have interacted through alliances and conflicts, influenced by historical events such as British colonial policies. Today, the rivalry reflects broader issues of caste dynamics, regionalism, and socio-economic aspirations in Indian society.
