The Jat people ( Hindi pronunciation : [ dʒaːʈ ] , spelling variants include Jatt , Jaat and Jutt ) are a traditionally agricultural community native to the Indian subcontinent , comprising what is today Northern India and Pakistan . Previously pastoralists in the lower Indus river-valley of Sindh , Jats migrated north into the Punjab region , Delhi , Rajputana , and the western Gangetic Plain in late medieval times . Primarily of Hindu , Muslim and Sikh faiths , they now live mostly in the Indian states of Haryana , Punjab , Delhi , Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh and the Pakistani provinces of Punjab and Sindh . Traditionally involved in peasant agriculture , the Jat community saw radical social changes in the 17th century , when the Hindu Jats took up arms against the Mughal Empire during the late 17th and early 18th century . The Hindu Jat kingdom reached its zenith under Maharaja Suraj Mal of Bharatpur ( 1707-1763 ) . The Jat community of the Punjab region played an important role in the development of the martial Khalsa Panth of Sikhism ; they are more commonly known as the Jat Sikhs . By the 20th century , the landowning Jats became an influential group in several parts of North India , including Haryana , Punjab , Western Uttar Pradesh , Rajasthan , and Delhi . Over the years , several Jats abandoned agriculture in favour of urban jobs , and used their dominant economic and political status to claim higher social status .
