Thank you very much, after go through your article , we are feeling very proud to belonging to jatav samaj, Thanks a lot

Jatav people should know one thing, we should keep only one title now n that is 'jatav' this is the only way now to come together n get organised as ONE.. but this is not sufficient, we should bring all our brothers together that is all castes of SC n OBC only then we can win.. we must think over it to start a new era that is JATAV'S ERA..

I feel that jatavs are very much short in defence services i.e. in Army/Airforce and navy specially in officers cadre. it will be really good if we uplift our Jatav comunity to join NDA/CDS and provid them some special tips/coching class to incourage jatav youth students to come in defence services
