Revision as of 17:16, 17 August 2015
Hindu Jat (also spelled Jaat)[1] ,[2][2] a sub-group of Jat people, refers to an ethnic group of north India[3] who are Hindu by religion. They form the majority of the Jat population and they are mainly found in Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh.[4][5] Originally, all Jats were Hindu but some then converted to Islam and Sikhism, as also happened in the case of other castes such as Rajput and Gurjar. Those who were converted call themselves Jat Muslims and Jat Sikhs, respectively. All Sikh Jats are natives of Punjab, India and all Hindu Jats are native of Rajasthan, Haryana, Western UP, Delhi and Madhya Pradesh. All Hindu Jats are native of Hindi and its dialects, Rajasthani, Haryanvi, Braj Bhasha and Malvi.
Major Hindu Jat Kingdoms and Principalities
- Jat rulers of Bharatpur
The Jats came to prominence in the seventeenth century, when they rebelled against the atrocities carried out by the Moghul Emperor Aurangzeb. In 1661, the Jats of Bharatpur were stirred up when a Muslim officer destroyed a temple to replace it with a mosque. He also apparently harassed the populace on a regular basis. Resentment boiled over and an uprising occurred in 1669, led by a Jat village chieftain by the name of Gokula and backed up by twenty thousand followers. The uprising failed, and Gokula was captured and put to death in 1670.
The more successful second rebellion began in 1686, and continued past the death of Aurangzeb. He was the last truly powerful Moghul ruler, so the Jats were able to establish an independent kingdom with Bharatpur as its capital.[6]
- Jat rulers of Dholpur
In 1367 A.D. a clan of Jats known as Jats of Bamroli crossed the river Chambal and settled in Gwalior and their leaders joined the services of Tomar Kings of Gwalior.
These Bamroli Jats were originally from Rajasthan and belong to the Deswali sect or gotra of Jats, and in 11th century moved to a village near Agra, known as Bamroli, since then their clan is also known as Bamrolia. During the period, when Feroz Tughlaq was the Sultan of Delhi, the Governor of Agra, Muneer Muhommed ruled them out of the area, so they moved to and settled in Barthara near Gohad and their Leader Rana Ratan Pal and his son supported The Tomar rulers of Gwalior in their struggle against the Muslim rulers of Delhi and Malwa, together they won in their struggle. Later the famous King of Gwalior Raja Man Singh gave Rana Sujan Deo, Gohad as a state and conferred on him the tittle of 'Rana' in 1505 A.D.
At that time Gwalior fell to Sikandar Lodhi. Sikandar Lodhi the sultan of Delhi also recognized their tittle and state. The Ranas with their hardwork made themselves the masters of many more districts around Gohad and in 1761 A.D. Rana Bhim Singh their most famous king conquered Gwalior and held it for more then six years till it fell to the marauding Marathas of Peshwa of Pune.
Rana Chattar Singh, successor of Rana Bhim Singh put up great resistant against the Marathas, recovered Gwalior in 1780 A.D., He even got tittles and honors from Mughal emperor of Delhi. Scindia the Maratha ruler eventually won back Gwalior in 1783 A.D. The next year saw Rana winning back the fort at Gwalior but the Scindia , a very shrewd ruler invaded Gohad and destroyed it and making the Rana running to Karauli for protection but here he was treacherously arrested and Scindia made him prisoner and had him killed in Gwalior prison by poison in 1788 A.D..
The next 20 years saw a bloody tussle among the Bamrolia Jats for the leadership, eventually in 1803 A.D. clan leaders of Bamrolia Jats came together and chose Kirat Singh a distant cousin of Rana Chattar Singh as their leader and was sojourned as 'Rana' in the fort of Barthara in 1803 A.D. He went into aliance with the British (the new king makers in India) against the Scindia, who after a struggle and showed his resentment over the British decision handing over Gohad to the Rana, came to the table for talks. It was decided that the Scindia will keep Gohad and the Rana will get the area south of Agra, comprising Dholpur, Bari and Rajakhera.
Thus, Rana Kirat Singh of Gohad became the ruler of the ancient town of Dholpur and his descendants ruled there till they merged with India in 1949 A.D.[7]
- Kuchesar
The ruling family of Kuchesar belonged to the Dalal clan of the Jat caste. When Maharaja Jawahar Singh of Bharatpur made war with the rulers of Delhi, the latter attacked Kuchesar. the Dalal Jats were defeated, their fort of Kuchesar was captured and razed in 1763. Rao Maganiram and Ramdhan Singh were arrested and imprisoned in the fort of Koyal. The two brothers escaped from prison, reached Moradabad and aligned themselves with the Marathas. In 1782, Maganiram and Ramdhan Singh, along with an army, recaptured Kuchesar from the Muslims. Rao Maganiram died soon after this victory. As per Jat custom, his widow married his younger brother. By 1790, Ramdhan Singh had recaptured all of Kuchesar estate, he had also acquired Pooth, Siana, Thana Farida, Datyane and Saidpur on Malguzari lease from the rulers of Delhi. After 1782, the Kuchesar mud-fort remained in unbroken possession of the family, it was granted to them in perpetual lease by the Mughal Emperor Shah Alam in 1790, a grant confirmed by the British in 1807. The British formalized their authority over the area in 1803, they recognized the estate of Kuchesar and its estate-holders without alteration to the status quo. Formerly the Kuchesar Estate included the Sahanpur and also the Bhadsana Estates. Rao Umrao Singh and his family owned the tappa, now called Kuchesar consisting of a six annas share, while Khushal Singh owned a five annas share, called Sahanpur. The remaining portion fell to the lot of Partap Singh, also a five annas share. The zamindari consisted of 11 villages in Harpur Pargana and in Puth Pargana with 12 villages in Bulandshahr District, with parts of 5 other villages and 3 Patti villages. [8]
- Mursan
Mursan was a small Jat princely fiefdom in Hathras (within modern Uttar Pradesh) which was ruled by the Thenua Jats. Its most famous ruler was Raja Mahendra Pratap (1886-1979) who was a writer, journalist, freedom fighter and social reformer. He was also known as the 'Aryan Peshwa'. He was the third son of Raja Ghanshhyam Singh and was adopted by Raja Harnarayan Singh of Hathras. He married a princess from the Jind princely state.[9]
- Ballabhgarh
Ballabhgarh was a princely state in present day Haryana state. Its rulers belonged to the Tewatia Jat clan, which migrated from the village of Janauli in 1705 and settled in Sihi, five kilometres (about three miles) from Ballabhgarh itself.[10]
- Maulaheri(Muzaffarnagar)
The Maulaheri Jats came into prominence during the Third battle of Panipat. One of the ancestors of the Maulaheri Jats had risen to become a General in the Maratha Army and was in charge of the outpost of the Marathas at Shukartal, on the river Ganges. When the Marathas lost the Third battle of Panipat, Ahmed Shah Abdali rewarded all his allies including Najib-ul-Daula with gold and precious stones, among other things. Najib-ul-Daula was returning victorious from Panipat when he was ambushed at Shukartal by the Maratha outpost and relieved of all his precious belongings by the Maulaheri General. As a consequence, Najib-ul-Daula also had to surrender the Doab. The Jat General from Maulaheri became famous for this act, and was given a jagir in Maulaheri, giving rise to the name.
The Maulaheri Jats grew in prominence over the years and became the most distinguished and respected family among the Jats in western UP. At one point, the family owned over 36,000 acres of land, in over 20 villages. The family also built two beautiful palaces in Maulaheri (which are in ruins now).
The family also had close links with the family of Liaquat Ali Khan, the first Prime Minister of India, and fellow aristocrat, whose land holdings lay next to the Maulaheri Jats in the United Provinces of pre-independent India.[11]
- The Jats of Pichor[edit]
Like their Bambrolia Kinsmen in Gohad the Doderiyan Jats of Pichor were also reluctant emigrants from the Punjab. About the year 1340 AD Raja Bhagirath founded a settlement around the village of Keo some 35 miles South East of Gwalior, which subsequently became famous as Pichor. Raja Bhargirath had four sons. namely Chandermani, Sinhmani, Akshamani and Mado Singh.
Chandermani the eldest succeeded his father. On Chandermani's death, his only on Dhruve Angad became the ruler of Pichor. He started the building of Pichor fort in 1448 which was completed by his son Raja Hamir Deo the First, whose reign partly coincided and probably overlapped the reign of the famous Tomar chief Raja Man Singh. Hamir Deo the First saw hard days in his conflicts with the chiefs of Narwar and Orcha. But by the very able stratagem of his wife Ganga Kumari he was able to over come his problems and continued to rule Pichor for many years and was probably still alive when Babar appeared on the Indian scene. After that there is a hiatus in the Doderiyan tradition.
During the rule of Hamir Deo the second, a contemporary of Shah Jahan I (1628-58 AD), the Pichor principality grew into a modest size. His just rule and martial exploits are to this day extolled by the itinerant bards of Northern Bundhel Khand. Hamir's sense of Justice is reputed to have led him to sentence his own beloved son to death for an unintentional misdemeanor in a hunting field.
Hamir Deo was succeeded by Raja Padam Singh, who ruled Pichor during The greater part of Aurangzeb's reign. Padam Singh had two sons. Hindupati and Prithvipati. Hindupati was a reputed scholar and poet. He wrote a religions tract called Tattva-Bodha which is still extant. Hindupati was succeeded by his son Pahar Singh. During 1767, Pahar Singh had joined forces with Jawahar Singh or expelling the Maratha troops from the Bhind area and in the latter's expedition to Ajmer and Pushkar. However, about the year 1783-84 Pahar Singh had accepted a feudatory status under Mahadji Sindhia. Chhattar Singh the successor of Pahar Singh was treacherously deprived of Pichor by Daulat Rao Sindhia. His wife's blood stained palm impression in the citadel at Pichor still commemorates her exile from that ancient fortress.
- The Jats of Indargarh[edit]
Raja Balwant Singh in about 1650 AD founded the Jat State of Indargarh. He is reputed to have had an ancestral patrimony around Shivpuri, some 65 miles West of Gwalior. Whether he emigrated under duress from Shivpuri or brighter prospect abroad beckoned him, or was enticed away from his native Shivpuri by promise of a larger patrimony by the Bundela Chiefs of Orchha and Datia, still remains an enigma. What however is unambiguous is that. Raja Balwan Singh's new principality in the Trans-Sind Region initially comprised some 40 villages along the South Bank of the Sind in the intervening tract between Datia and Seondha. As the principality of Datia was relatively weaker than that of Pichor, it is to be inferred that the principality of Indargarh may have been utilized as a convenient buffer by the Bundela chiefs to constrict Pichor's expansion South of the Sind. This stratagem might even have had the tacit acquiescence of the neighboring Kushwaha ruler of Narwar, who was actuated by a similar design towards Pichhor. Whether the tale is true or apocryphal is however difficult to discern. There is on the other hand no tradition of any enduring internecine feud between the neighboring Jat principalities of Pichhor and Indargarh. It is however probable that with the interposition of kindred Jat principality as a buffer, the subsequent expansion of Pichhor was deflected Westwards beyond Bhitarwar in the Narwar territory and southeastwards towards Lahar and Daboh.
Raja Balwant Singh was succeeded by his son Indar Singh who further enlarged his patrimony and built a stone fort, still extant, which even now perpetuates his name and memory. The principality of Indargarh remained unimpaired during Aurangzeb's and some of the later Mughals' reigns, but had rather a precarious existence during the ascendancy of the Marathas in the 18th century AD. During this period, the ruler of Indargarh was sometimes constrained to side with the Marathas, the allies of the Bundela Chief, but when left uncoerced joined forces with the neighboring Jat Chiefs of Pichhor and Gohad to resist the Southern intruders. After the demise of Pichhor in 1816 AD the Jat principality of Indargarh was also obliterated by the connivance of the Marathas in the beginning of 1817 AD and its ruler like his kinsmen of Pichhor and Gohad forced into exile. After the fall of Indargarh all the Jat forts have remained untenanted in this region; staggered in a line between Bhind and Jhansi, they are now like a row of avenging ghosts rather than abodes of patricians of yesteryears.[12]
- Pisawa(Aligarh)
Pisawa was a Tomar Jat principality in Aligarh whose ancestors came from Prithal(Palwal).[13]
- Jangladesh(Jat states of Rajasthan)
The region of Jangladesh in northern Rajasthan included the present-day districts of Bikaner, Churu, Ganganagar, and Hanumangarh. According to the Suraj Mal Memorial Education Society, Jats failed to find a desirable place in south Rajasthan and north Gujarat because the regions were already inhabited by tribes such as the Rajputs, Gujjars, Bhils, Yadavs, Guhils and Mers.[14] During this period Abhiras pushed them in Rajasthan.[15][16]
Jangladesh in ancient times was inhabited by Jat clans ruled by their own chiefs and largely governed by their own customary law.[17] Whole of the region was possessed by six or seven cantons namely Punia, Godara, Saran, Sihag, Beniwal, Johiya and Kaswan. Besides these cantons there were several clan of Jat people, simultaneously wrested from Rajput proprietors for instance Bagor, Kharipatta, Mohila or Mehila, Bhukar, Bhadu, Chahar.
