History
Hukum Singh Panwar tells us that In the post-Vedic period, the Jartas had moved in to the Panjab and occupied the Madra Capital Sakala... In the opinion of Rawlinson[2], they were identical with the Saka people called Jata or Gata. They were divided in to two branches, the Massagetae (big Gata-Jata) and Thyssagetae (small Gata-Jata). Their western wing migrated into Europe and came to be known as Goth and eastern branch descended into India and was, called Jarta. Their modern representatives are the Jats, who constitute the backbone of the people of the Panjab".[3]
