Abstract: This paper examines the political, military, and socio-economic strategies through which the Jat community in northern India contested Mughal authority during the 17th and 18th centuries. It traces the origins of Jat resistance, analyzes key uprisings led by Khichi and Sinsinwar leaders, and assesses the impact of agrarian pressures, regional alliances, and Mughal administrative decline on the trajectory of Jat power. By situating Jat rebellions within broader debates on subaltern agency and imperial fragmentation, this study highlights how grassroots mobilization reshaped the political landscape of late Mughal north India.
