Bhati

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bhati is a clan of Rajputs,[1] Gurjars,[2] and Jats[3] found in India and Pakistan.[4] Both Bhati and Bhatti Jats claim to be Yadavas. But Bhatis are probably Turks and seem to have no connection to the name Yadava.[5] Jaisalmer State was founded by the Bhati Rajputs and they ruled it till Indian independence in 1947. Sometimes, all these Rajput clans, Bhattis, Jadauns, Chudasamas & Sammas[6] are said to be the royal descendants of the Jadam Aheers.[6]
