The Bhatti (Bhaṭṭī) (Punjabi: بھٹی; Punjabi pronunciation: [bʰʌʈʈi]; Sindhi: ڀٽي; Sindhi pronunciation: [bʱʌʈʰi]) are a Jat clan primarily found in the regions of Punjab[1][2] and Sindh. [3] They are historically documented in texts such as the Ain-i-Akbari, which records their presence in various regions of Punjab. [4]

Origin

[edit]

The origins of the Bhatti Jats are debated among scholars. Some sources suggest that they are descendants of the Malhi clan of Jats. [5] In oral tradition, the Bhatti Jats claim to be a distinct Jat clan, similar to other groups who assert separate identities within the Jats. They are separate from the Bhattis found among the Rajputs, who have a separate history and lineage.
