The Jat people (Hindi pronunciation: [dʒaːʈ]) (also spelled Jatt) are a community of traditionally non-elite tillers and herders in Northern India and Pakistan who are now classified as a Backward Caste under India’s caste-based reservation system. Originally pastoralists in the lower Indus river-valley of Sindh Jats migrated north into the Punjab region in late medieval times and subsequently into the Delhi Territory Rajputana and the western Gangetic Plain.
