This article is a list of Jat dynasties, states, and princely states. The Jats are a traditionally agricultural community spread out across Pakistan and Northern India, specifically in Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Western UP, Sindh, and AJK. During the medieval and colonial eras, Jat clans established themselves throughout this area.
Below is a list of Jat dynasties and states, along with the clan origin and how long they ruled.
Once Daud was sent against the village of Bankauli, in pargana Chaumahla, with which his employer was at feud. Along with the plunder taken on this occasion Daud obtained possession of a Jat boy seven or eight years of age, whom he caused to be circumcised and then adopted under the name of Ali Muhammad Khan.
...the small village of Majithia (near Amritsar)—which the family of Sir Sundar Singh, of Shergill clan among the Jat Sikhs—had adopted as their surname, could also be proud of its illustrious Sardars.
whereas the Jats lived in the Jangal-desh (a portion of ancient Kuru-Jangal region), which covers Bikanir and some portion of the Jodhpur State.
There is good reason to believe that parts of the present north-eastern and north-western Rajasthan were inhabited by Jat clans ruled by their own chiefs and largely governed by their own customary law.
