Book Description
The book, "Know the Jats" is based on factual research about Jats — a community of pastoral farmers, who contribute everything consumers need to eat for their survival, and yet not liked by almost 80% of people in India. Those who hate Jats and are ignorant about them on account of their sheer ignorance, at times have problems dealing with Jats, who are upright, honest, hardworking and brave people. Such people have failed to understand the Jats and by writing this book, it will be a step forward to create a better sense of understanding among non-Jats. The facts used in this book are honest and without any bias to anyone, including the Jats.

Book Description
First published in 1975, Robber Noblemen represents a break with traditional anthropological studies within the Indian subcontinent in the breadth of its coverage. A whole state, the Punjab, is discussed, with special reference to the social and political organization of its landowning Sikhs: the Jats. Joyce Pettigrew demonstrates that although the Punjab is included within the formal political framework of the Indian Union, it is nevertheless more closely allied to countries on its western border, by virtual of its social structure and value system. The caste system does not exist among the Sikhs. Values sustaining patterns of social and political action are not those pertaining to ritual purity and pollution but are those concerned with the extended family unit: honour, reputation, insult. The author shows how long-standing collaborative relationships between families compete with other similarly formed alliances or ‘factions’ for power and influence. This book will be of interest to students of anthropology, history, political science and South Asian studies.
