History

Эрл Эгертон (Earl Egerton)

Наталья Романовна Гусева (Natalya Romanovna Guseva)

The Soviet and Russian ethnographer and indologist Natalya Romanovna Guseva (1914–2010) wrote that the Jats are the descendants of the Sakas.[2]

Михаил Константинович Кудрявцев (Mikhail Konstantinovich Kudryavtsev)

The Soviet and Russian ethnologist, ethnographer, and indologist Mikhail Konstantinovich Kudryavtsev (1911–1992) researched the origin of the Jats, and pointed out that some legends speak of the Jats as having lived in Sind long before the Scythians invaded India, and even of a direct association of Jat chiefs with the heroes of the Mahabharata.[3]

Сергей Константинович Булич (Sergei Konstantinovich Bulich)

The linguist Sergei Konstantinovich Bulich (1859–1921) had idetified the Jats with the Getae.[4][5]

Anthropology

Наталья Львовна Жуковская (Natalia L’vovna Zhukovskaia)

Natalia L’vovna Zhukovskaia writes that the Jats formed the main core of the population of Punjab. She writes that the Jats are inhomogeneous/heterogeneous (неоднородны) to the Rajputs which is also evidenced by the difference in anthropological features that significantly distinguishes the Jats from the Rajputs, and all the models of cultural and economic life of the Jats.[7]

Culture, social customs, and religion

Леонид Борисович Алаев (Leonid Borisovich Alaev)

Quote (in English): " Thus, the two researches quoted above agree that the Jats came to India from outside, and also agree on their probable place of origin and the time of their probable migration to India. It will, however, be recalled that some legends speak of the Jats as having lived in Sind long before the Scythians invaded the country and even of direct association of Jat chiefs with the heroes of the Mahabharata. All these hypotheses and legends still await thorough scientific investigation. "
