The Jat community was traditionally associated with agriculture in Northern India and Pakistan. In the beginning of the 18th century, the Jats took up arms against the Mughal Empire. Gokula, a Hindu Jat landlord, had troubled Aurangzeb. Jats played an important role in the development of the Khalsa Panth. By the 20th century, landlord Jats became influential in many parts of North India including Punjab, Western Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Haryana, Delhi.
Many people of Jat community are in the Indian Army. In which Jat Regiment has special importance. He has won many highest military awards for bravery and bravery in the army. The Jats were designated as a 'martial race' by the British state authorities. Which meant that they were one of the groups that the British preferred for recruitment into the British Indian Army. There was a beautiful symmetry in the martial race theory: Indians who were intelligent and educated were defined as cowards while those who were brave were defined as uneducated and backward. The Indian Army had admitted in 2013 that the 150 strong presidential bodyguard included only Hindu Jats, Sikh Jats and Hindu Rajputs.

State wise, Jats constitute about 25 percent of the population in Haryana. In Punjab it is 30 percent, in Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Delhi it is 9,5 and 2 percent respectively.
