Saga Indicus: History of the Jatts and the Gill Clan

by Azam Gill

Saga Indicus traces the origins of the Indian Jatts. Agriculturists, warriors, and now represented in all the professions, they are mainly found in Punjab, Sindh, Rajputana and the western portion of the Gangetic Doab. The origins of Jatts cannot be traced without exploring ancient Indian history which takes the lion’s share of Indo-European studies. The origin of the Jatt people is traceable through the meaning of the word itself, referred to in Panini’s Ashtadyayi, and further back in The Mahabharta itself. The trail of overlapping meanings leads back in time from Panini (450BC)’s Ashtadyayi to The Mahabharta, and forward in time to the present-day Jatts and their constituent Gill clan. Saga Indicus undertakes this study The Panini 400 BC. The Vikramaditya 375-415 BC. The Prithipal AD 9. The Bhatinda Fort AD 783. The Gilpal AD 1113. Saga Indicus is crucial to the understanding of Indo-European cultures.
