From Jatland Wiki
Very interesting information about Jats in J&K provided by Amit Pal Singh Smotra:
The Jats in J&K are originally from Mirpur/Bhimber (Pakistan occupied Kashmir) who migrated in 1947 to Jammu, though there were a few Jat settlements in Jammu before 1947 as well. In Jammu we are called Choudharys.
The Jats in Jammu are Punjabi speaking, and are (therefore) called Jatt. Linguistically and culturally they are very similar to Jatt Sikhs of Punjab. Majority of Jatts are in Jammu are Hindus (70%) and the remaining Sikhs. The Hindu and Sikh Jatts in J&K inter-marry.
