Jatwan (जाटवान) was a Jat chieftain of Rohtak, Haryana. Muhammad Ghori (1173-1205) attacked India and faced Prithvi Raj Chauhan at Tarain, near Delhi. Jats fought along with Rajputs. Prithvi Raj's commander-in-chief was Chand Ram, a Dahima Jat. Ghori was defeated and wounded and his troops were looted by Jats while retreating. To avenge his humiliation and defeat he attacked again and won Tarain (1192). Ghori made Kutb Uddin Aibak his regent at Delhi. Jats under Jatwan besieged the Muslim commander of Hansi, Haryana, Nasrat Uddin; raised the siege and in an obstinate and fierce battle defeated the Muslims under Kutb Uddin Aibak (1193).
