In the present case, the zamindars were Jats who hailed from different clans - Siyal, Ranjha, Waraich, Nahar, and Chaddar. Their well-defined enclaves comprised agricultural lands and moors, enabling them to cultivate crops and maintain herds of cattle. It appears that the zamindars were obsessed with the desire of local dominance, which was coupled with a strong sense of survival and an avid fervour for honour.
