Hindu Jat (जाट), refers to an ethnic group of north-west India^[1] who are Hindu by religion.^[2] They form the majority of the Jat population. Originally, all Jats were Hindu but some then converted to Islam and Sikhism,^[2]^[2] as also happened in the case of other castes and clans such as Rajput and Chura. Those who were converted call themselves Jat-Muslims and Sikh Jatt, respectively.
