Rajput Jats

Rajput Jats are members of two distinct communities in northern India—Jats, traditionally agricultural peasants, and Rajputs, historically warrior aristocrats. Some Jats adopted Rajput customs and martial traditions, leading to the term "Rajput Jats" for those Jat groups aligning culturally or socially with Rajput identity. They often emphasize valor, honor, and martial skills, blending agricultural roots with martial heritage. This identity showcases their diverse social history, reflecting a mix of rural farming life and princely warrior traditions, and they may be recognized as a distinct social group in regional hierarchies and cultural practices.
