Book Description
ABOUT THE BOOK
The Jats are one of the most important races among the Indian Population today, as during the Muslim period and their traditions go back to dim antiquity. The regions mainly occupied by them are Northern, Western and Central part of India. The race forms the backbone of agriculture community in the Punjab, Sindh, Rajasthan and the western portion of Gangetic Doab. The Jats had been a compact people having community of blood, community of Language and a common religion. But at present about one third of them are muslims, one fifth Sikhs and the rest are Hindus.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Prof. Kalika Ranjan Qanungo has not been content to be a closet student of written records. He has worked and lived among the Jat boys of his former college at Delhi, he has won their love and confidence and has visited their historic places and tribal gatherings and talked with old jats whose memories are richly stored with the past. The information he has thus gathered by a personal quest spread over a wide field is concentrated in this book and gives it a unique value.

FOREWORD
The Jats are one of the most important races among the Indian population today, as during the Muslim period, and their traditions go back to dim antiquity. A critical study of the past history of such a race on the basis of all the available materials cannot fail to be a subject of deep interest and instruction to all Indians. Such a study is presented in this book.

It represents the loving and devoted labour of Professor Kalika R. Qanungo for years together. He has denied himself holidays and worked at this history in my library by sacrificing his vacations. All known sources, printed and manuscript, Persian, Marathi, French and English, (besides Sanskrit for the mythical age), have been utilised here, and this History of the Jats represents a synthesis never attempted before, and leaving (so far as I can see) nothing for future workers unless new materials are discovered hereafter. Professor Qanungo has already proved his sound critical powers and true historical spirit in his first book, Sher Shah, which at once leaped into the position of the standard work on the subject.
