There is no census in India based on caste basis. The last census in 1931 in India recorded population on the basis of caste. In 1925, according to Professor Quanungo the population of Jats was around nine millions in South Asia and where the followers of three great religions:
Islam ..... 33%
Sikhism... 20%
Hinduism.. 47%
Since there is no reliable current figure for the Jat population available for South Asia an estimate can be made. According to Dr BS Dhillon, by taking in to consideration the population growth of both India and Pakistan since 1925, Professor Quanungo's figure of nine million could be translated into at least 30 million. According to a source of Joshua Project [1], the population distribution is as under:
India .......... 14,103,000
Pakistan ........... 90,000
Jat Sikh ....... 11,866,000
