The Jat Regiment
THE JAT REGIMENT
The Jat Regiment claims its origins from the Calcutta Native Militia raised in 1795, which later became an infantry battalion of the Bengal Army. After 1860, there was a substantial increase in the recruitment of Jats in the Indian Army. In January 1922, at the time of the grouping of the Class Regiments of the Indian Army, the IX Jat Regiment was formed by bringing under a single regiment, four active and one training battalion. Its Regimental Centre is Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh and its Regimental insignia is the Roman numeral nine representing its ninth position in the regimental hierarchy of the Indian Army of the 1920s. The insignia also has a bugle indicating the Light Infantry antecedents of two of its battalions. Its Regimental Motto is ‘Sangathan Va Veerta’ (Unity And Valour) and its war cry is ‘Jat Balwan, Jai Bhagwan’ (Brave Jat, Victory to God).
