Who they are
The Jat hijra form one of the clans, or gotras, of the Jat people, concentrated mainly in the states of Punjab and Haryana in northern India. With a strong agricultural heritage and a tradition of community autonomy, most clan members are landowners in rural areas, maintaining a deep appreciation for their historical lineage. Religiously, they follow traditional Hinduism, with strong faithfulness to family rites of passage. The gospel finds little openness among them, partly due to the social prestige of the group and the perception that the Christian faith is associated with other social strata.
