Jat of Afghanistan
The Jats or sometimes pronounced Jots are members of an ethnic group of itinerant travelers found in Afghanistan.〔Rao, Aparna (1986). "Peripatetic Minorities in Afghanistan—Image and Identity pages 254 to 283." In Die ethnischen Gruppen Afghanistan, edited by E. Orywal. Wiesbaden: L. Reichert. ISBN 3-88226-360-1〕 They are a marginalized and stigmatised group, and considered "as blots on the ethnic landscape."〔Edited by Richard F. Nyrop and Donald M. Seekins
(Afghanistan Country Study ) Foreign Area Studies, The American University. January 1986〕 The term "Jat" is an exonym, never used by what are disparate and distinct ethnic groups.〔Rao, Aparna (1986). "Peripatetic Minorities in Afghanistan—Image and Identity." In Die ethnischen Gruppen Afghanistan, edited by E. Orywal. Wiesbaden: L. Reichert. ISBN 3-88226-360-1〕
== Origin ==
In Afghanistan, the term Jat does not refer to a single ethnic community, but rather to a number of disparate groups who practice a peripatetic lifestyle. Groups who are generally referred to as Jat have their own self-designation, and often resent being called Jat, and being called a Jat is an insult in Afghanistan. In Dari dialect of Kabul, shrewish women were often admonished not to be quarrelsome like a Jat. A comparison would the use of the word Gypsy to refer to the Romany and the word Zott to refer to similar groups in the Middle East.〔Rao, Aparna (1986). "Peripatetic Minorities in Afghanistan—Image and Identity pages 254 to 283." In Die ethnischen Gruppen Afghanistan, edited by E. Orywal. Wiesbaden: L. Reichert. ISBN 3-88226-360-1〕 What is unclear is how these distinct groups acquired the name Jat. In neighbouring South Asia, the term Jat refers to a large cluster of agriculture castes, some especially in the Balochistan are connected with camel breeding and herding, and it is possible that the Afghan Jat are descended from peripatetic communities that entered Afghanistan in the company of these nomadic Jats, and acquired the name by association.〔Persian Jats by Percy Sykes in the Journal of the Gypsy Lore Society 1910 3(4):320〕
