History

According to H.A. Rose’s renowned ethnographic work, A Glossary of the Tribes and Castes of the Punjab and North-West Frontier Province [12], Lather is a prominent Jat gotra with a distinct ancestral legend. According to tradition, the clan traces its roots to an ancestor who migrated to Haryana from Jaisalmer in Rajasthan forming a new family line. A remarkable tale surrounds the origin of the clan’s name. During a conflict, the founder was surrounded by enemies but bravely drove them off. However, after capturing one of his foes, he was killed in a dramatic turn of events—his captive thrust a lathi (wooden stick) into his mouth, killing him. The word Lathi gave rise to the clan name Lather, meaning "of the stick."[13]

One of the earliest known settlements of the Lather clan is believed to be Karsola [14], a village that may have been among the first inhabited by members of this gotra. Today, the Lathers hold seven villages in Jind tehsil, located in present-day Haryana.

H. W. Bellew writes that Lath or Las may stand for the Lais or Laith of Sistan, whose dynasty flourished there after the Tahiri. [15]
