I have been feeling very cool to share the ancestral background of Jats. They mostly make it in the news for wrong reasons, or for reasons of having been wronged (mostly under political acumen). While the former is surprising, - but predictable, depending on planning and social welfare measures - the latter is historically accurate.
The Jats - historically speaking - are a symbol of resilience and cultural simpleness that we so seek whenever we are on travel. They are some travelers themselves. Today's Jat will be seen traveling around the city in SUVs with volume cranked up, without knowing the journey their forefathers would've taken in days with thin political boundaries. Their clan has traveled from the central Asian regions, in what makes today's Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Province, that makes fore NorthWesternmost occupation of China. Xinjiang is, today, largest Chinese administrative division, and 8th largest such in the world.

During the 14th century the inhabitants of Moghulistan were known[by whom?] as "Jats" and the area they occupied was called "Jatah". This term is also used by numerous people in South Asia - in Pakistan and in parts of western India.Not just that, they stuck out as a community for the longest while. While the rest of the Mongols turned to Moghuls (everything starts with the Mongols, esp that guy Genghis), through conversion, the Jats stuck to their pastoral and agricultural lifestyle. They loved their cattle, and stood for it. It was only upon persecution that they migrated down to the Sindh valley, which is in erstwhile Pakistan, and became a part of that culture. They migrated further to reach the Northern Plains of India, too, to Delhi and Haryana. Funny that the identity of the Jat that we relate to is the last one.
