Bhatti
Bhatti is a clan of Rajputs and Jatts [1][2] found in India, Pakistan and Afghanistan.[3]. The Bhattis along with Bhuttos and Bhatiyas claim to be a junior branch of the Hindu Bhati Rajputs.[4]
In the years preceding the Indian rebellion of 1857 these groups lost land by decisions made by the British East India Company, which assigned to Jat peasants grazing lands formerly frequented by the Bhatis in the Delhi and western Haryana region's. The British were not enamoured of nomadic tribes, whom they thought exacted protection in the areas that they visited, and the policies of land reform were designed in part to limit this mobility.[5]
