The Jat Movement

The Jat Movement refers to a social and political effort by the Jat community, primarily in northern India, to secure greater rights, recognition, and benefits. Historically agriculturalists, Jats sought to elevate their status within society, especially during and after India's independence. This movement has involved demands for reservations in education and government jobs, aiming to address economic and social inequalities. Over time, it has also manifested in protests, political mobilization, and community organization, reflecting broader themes of caste dynamics and socio-economic development in India.
