    FIRST published in 2000, this interesting book by Hoshiar Singh Duleh has become a landmark for anyone who wishes to trace the roots of ancestry of Jats and defines 101 sub-castes of Jats, which is no small feat. Translated into English, the work now has a wider reach and can be of use to even those who are not well-versed in the native tongue but would still like to find out about their origin. It is a treasure-trove for historians and researchers alike.

    The writer brings to fore the fact that Jats have always been custodians and defenders of kingdoms and the country. He also laments a lack of documentation regarding the role of Jats in creating history as we know it today. Starting with Aulakhs, to Varaichs, the book is based on years of research. He begins with an introduction of Jats as a primitive Aryan clan that predates the Mahabharata, Ramayana, Rig Veda and even, the Bible.

    He further points out that a lot of characters from the Mahabharata, including Duryodhan belonged to the Jat dynasty. He makes the history interesting by interspersing it with anecdotes like the one about Bhallan tearing a robe of honour given by Akbar to Mansur to show his right over the villages being divided. Another interesting story is about Rai Khanda who merged with Jats and his wife who vowed at Naina Devi that she will tonsure her child twice if the child survived. The child was subsequently names Do-Lat (double lock) that finally morphed into Dullat. Read it for many interesting facets of history.

    Become more and more innocent, less knowledgeable and more childlike. Take life as fun - because that's precisely what it is!
