Chapter 1: Jat From Jutland


Russia

The people of Russia belong to Indo-European group of peoples. Their language has many characteristics in common with German, Iranian and Greek and Aryan tongues. In steppes of Russia, great waves of migration came at intervals. In 4th century and afterwards the Huns entered and controlled the steppes of Russia. Thereafter Mongols invaded and established their reign in Russia. The Mongols imposed strict obedience on the Princes and also introduced regime of taxation and military conscription. Near about 3rd century, the Slavic tribes established in this country and Norsemen entered the country in 8th century and thereafter, by way of the Baltic.

The settlers in South Russian steppes were Scythians belonging to Iranian language. The Scythians favourite occupation was war and closest companion was the horse. They entered Russia in or about 7th century.

Goths who were German tribes dominated Russian steppes by entering from north along the Dnieper and Don rivers in 3rd Century A.D. They became mounted Warriors and organised strong military, but they were subdued by the Huns.

The Vikings or Norsemen in 6th and 7th Centuries were able mariners, explorers and traders, entered Russia in 7th century and used their famous sword.

In 9th century when Byzantine emperor threatened the North and South Russian trade routes, it became necessary to call the Varangians from the overseas and the call was answered

by Riurik (Rovic) a famous Norse pirate who was ruler of Southern Jatland and Friesland, as Vassal of Emperor Lothaire. He restored order in North Russia and established in Novgord. Thus Scandinavians settled in North Russia who migrated to South in the course of time.

Once again in 12th century, the Germans and Swedes entered Russia through Riga, a Town founded in 1200 A.D., as traders and missionaries. Thus Germans and Scandinavians migrated into Russia in many waves, now and then. This also explains the migration of Juts from Denmark and Sweden in USSR and particularly more fertile and warm Uzbekistan where Timurlung invaded Jat strongholds.

George Vernadsky, author of a History of Russia on page 31 says "The call (calling the Varangians, Scandinavian invaders as they were called, from over the seas) was answered by Riurik of Muscovite dynasty (in the Frankish Annals, Roric) the famous Norse (Scandinavian) advanturer and pirate, who as vassal of Emperor Lqthaire (Frank Emperor) was then the ruler on southern 'Jutland' and Friesland (Western Europe)". Jats under Riurik came to Russia to subdue the invaders and established in North Russia where from they spread in the whole of the country. The Mongol invaders like Mangu later conscripted 10% of population of Russia for military purposes and therefore Jats became the army of the Mongols. The Mongols established Jats for protection of their conquests in Samarkand, Tashkant, Otrar, Bokhara, Khojend, Qarshi, Kumrud and Kirghis steppes. At that time Karakorum was the capital city in Mongolia and their Sarai was near present Stalingrad.

"In the Edda, we are informed that the Getes or Jits who entered Scandinavia, were termed Asi and their first settlement as- gard (Asi-gurh-fortress of the Asi)" Annals of Rajasthan, Vol. I, page 54.

"The successor of Odin in Scandinavia was Gotama; and Gotama was the successor of the last Boodha, Mahavira, who as Gotama or Gaudama is still adored from the straits of

Malacca (Malaya) to the Casipan Sea, (Yeutland was the name given to the whole Cimbric chersonese, or Julland-Pinkerton on the Goths)". Annals of Rajasthan, Vol. I page 54.

"The Yuchi established in Bactria and along the Jihoon (Jaxartes River) eventually bore the name of Jeta or Yetan that is to say Getes. Their empire subsisted a long time in this part of Asia and extended even into India. Then are the people whom the Greeks knew under the names of Indo-Scythes. Their manners are the same as those of Turcs. Revolution occurred in the very heart of the East, whose consequences were felt afar. (Histoire des Huns, Vol. I, page 42)" ..... " Annals of Rajasthan Vol. I, page 55.

"The period allowed by all these authorities for the migration of these Scythic hordes into Europe is alsp that for their entry into India"...... Annals of Rajasthan, Vol. I, p. 55.

It proves that 1st migration of Jats from Central Asia as also known Transoxiana the area between the Amu and Syr rivers or also known as Oxus and Jihoon or Jaxartes rivers, was simultaneous towards south east into India and north west to USSR, Scandinavia, Jutland and Germany. Therefore it is but to be held that Jats by whatever name was called in various European and Asiatic countries including Persia and Juland, have a common ancestor and thus members of one family and knitted with blood relationship. The Jats in Christian and Muslim countries by now have fused with the other tribes and thus the Gotra, clan, tribe or even race of the people has been lost and it is not possible to trace a person as Jat in those countries, except Jutland. They themselves have forgotten that they belong to Jat tribe and are Jats. However India and Jutland are lucky in this respect yet to maintain the existence of Jat or Jut tribe in the world. This will help the people of the two countries to be faithful to each other, in peace and war and to co-operate in all spheres of life, with a view to be helpful to each other. If Jats, Juts, Jits, Zots, Goths of the world know that they are descendents of a common ancestor, the feeling will promote world peace.
