Natalia L’vovna Zhukovskaia on Jat History
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.[3]
