One can never understand that all people stereotype jats to be from haryana. If an individual is jat then he is suppose to be from haryana.Jat people are people who habituate all across sub-continent : Pakistan Punjab, Indian Punjab, rajasthan, Uttar pradesh, Delhi and haryana ( in recent times all across the globe)
Though it seems as though people associate jat from haryana only.
jat in haryana : 26% of population.
Anybody who speaks haryanvi is not jat because 74% of the population is non-jat ie not belonging to this community in haryana.
Some individuals in order to show there macho behavior do tend to say that they are jat but they may not be, this gives bad name to community as people think them as goons and ruckus creators.These individuals misguide others for self serving purposes…..
