Ghirths are not Jatts. This is just a white lie. I live in Dharamshala, I'm a Jatt and I will appreciate if you please stop spreading misinformation. You are just loosing your respect with these ridiculous lies
The Ghirth jaat also known as Bahti/Changh in Punjab are a Hindu agricultural caste found in the state of Himachal Pardesh in North India. They are also known as the Chaudhary.
No this not caste basically it is tribe, Ghrit is a separate tribe and does not fall under Hindu Varna systems. However, if you ask from cunning and mughal slave rajput and brahman misinformed by saying that Ghrit are lower caste.
Ghirth is a separate caste, they want to step up in social hierarchy that's why they want to be called as Jatts. but they are different.According to a legend, the Ghirths are so called because the Hindu god Shiva made them out of ghee (ghrita in Sanskrit). This etymology is reflective of the community's traditional occupation of animal husbandry and agriculture. However, some members of the community trace their ancestry to a sage called Ghrit Rishi, and claim connections to the legendary Kauravas mentioned in the Mahabharata. The community also claims descent from the Rajput Kshatriyas.At the beginning of the 20th century, the Ghirths were the dominant low-caste cultivators and marginal landholders in the Himachal region. Since they were considered as a 'clean' (not untouchable) low caste, they were employed as domestic servants by the higher castes: their 'clean' status allowed them to perform tasks such as fetching water or cleaning cooking utensils, which the untouchable servants were not allowed to do. Nevertheless, the Rajput, who were the dominant landholding caste of the region, had imposed social restrictions on them. Around 1926, the Ghirths started a movement to achieve upward social mobility, and started opposing these restrictions. They refused menial work, creating difficulties for the higher castes that earlier employed them as servants.
Caste distinctions can vary by region and community in India. The term "ghirth" does not appear to be a common term for a specific caste. It is important to avoid making assumptions about someone's caste based on their name or surname.

Bahti is One of largest group of Jatts in punjab.it is mixed group of jatt in which both types of jatts are found Hindu or Punjabi Both.but this caste has mani issues among people ,people are living in many defences.most occupation of this group is agriculture.in ancient time,people acquire 62 acres and that's they called bati,nad became Bahti with passage of time. Before that thay were bahniwal and were jimidar people but in 1800s,during sikh times ,,many bahti's become sikh and so,they become bahniwal jatt.but this community was not completly under siikhism. most part of it ,is also in hindu because many people left from this. today, people are liviny in many defences but real is that bahti are bahniawal jatt. and they are diffrent from other caste people like rajput,ghirth,Chang. these castes mostly have many defences.but is higher than saini's, rajputs.but,today ,this caste has not any minister .due to it,it is going backward. it is also found thay people are living by hiding their caste. but we need awareness as soon as possible we can do.

Their traditional areas of residence are Rajputana, Trigarta Kingdom (the modern Jalandhar District), i.e. the areas of residence are mainly in the Indian states of Punjab, Rajasthan, Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh. They are a branch of Sisodya Rajputs of Rajputana who moved out of Mewar during the reign of Rana Amar Singh as he accepted the Mughal Supremacy of Jehangir and settle Anyone who thinks kondal are a lower caste. It is just because rana amar singh accepted mughal supermacy . Most of strong rajputs were killed during that time with mughals. Read full history of Raja Amar singh . Have full knowledge brothers . And then from that time other rajput castes degraded kondals from Rajputs . This was the only reason. It wasn’t the fault of our king . Was happened because of circumstances.
