Jat or Jat race, 1 which formed such a large proportion of the Sikh 
fighting line. Without entering into Colonel James Tod’s speculations 
about their identity with the Goths or Getae, it may be assumed as a 
certainty that, for many hundreds of years, a branch of this people has 
been settled in the country south of the Jamnah, between the cities of 
Agrah and Dihli. This region, ending on the east at the Chambal river 
or a little beyond it, marks the eastern limit of their advance from the 
west. East and north-east of that point there are practically no Jats. 
Their position on the flank of the high road between two great capitals 
and of the routes from both those places through Ajmer onwards to the 
Dakhin, must in all ages have given this robust race an opening for 
plundering on the highways, a temptation which they found it impos¬
