[edit] Accuracy of article questioned
This article is full of historically questionable "facts" including statements such as: "On the basis of historical facts the Jats are reported to be present in India from 3102 BC" - which, according to discussions of this claim (which can be accessed in the Jat discussion page archives), is a date based on the astrological computations for the death of the god Krishna - not historical evidence. It also contains a reference to a Dr. Natthan Singh who, apparently, talks about "pure Aryans", whatever that is supposed to mean (see article on Aryan for discussion of racial theories involving "Aryans").

Question the sources used in this article plus the argument put forth in this article is circular as the introduction to the article says "the Jats come from Aryan homeland as the Jats are an Aryan race." That's like saying apples grow on orange trees as apples are oranges. Readers should look into the Sythian origins of Jats and Rajputs as the Scythian orgins would explain why some Europeans and Jats have last names in common. This article seams to be Arya-Brahman propogation as theB rahmans are always ready to claim that any great empire of South Asia is Brahman in orgin.

[edit] Replaced disputed tag
I have replaced the disputed tag and would ask people not to remove it until the disputes mentioned above are resolved. Just saying here is no dispute will not make it go away. John Hill 22:17, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Replaced Disputed tag again
Shree Burdak has taken it upon himself to remove the disputed tag again. This is not justified as there are many claims made in this article which have been previously questioned as to accuracy on other pages - and never been satisfactorily answered. For example: the claim that "On the basis of historical facts the Jats are reported to be present in India from 3102 BC." Another example involves the use of the term "pure Aryan" - a term with no real meaning and with offensive overtones to many people. John Hill 13:19, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
