History

The Bhattis are Punjabi^[7][8][9] and Sindhi.^[10][11][12] The Bhattis, are descended from a common ancestor, Rao Bhati, a 3rd-century Hindu monarch.^[13] The Muslim Bhattis had control over Bhatner and settlements around it. The Bhattis later lost Bhatner to the Rathores of Bikaner, who renamed Bhatner as Hanumangarh.^[14] In the years preceding the Indian rebellion of 1857^{[page needed]}, the British East India Company assigned pioneering Jat peasants proprietary rights over forested lands frequented by the Rajputs (Bhattis), Gurjars, Banjaras, Passis, and other wandering pastoral groups in Delhi and western Haryana regions.^[15]
