ABSTRACT
Agriculture was the main calling of the people. Except for a very small tract where the facility of canal irrigation was available, crops in the region depended on rains, which were too often erratic—mostly deficient. The land holdings were small and earnings meagre. The caste organizations revived, as was expected, their old tradition of community panchayats and the feeling of bhaichara among their members and inculcated strong caste sentiments among them. Wiser after new experiences, the soldiers were of the firm belief that education could solve all their problems. On 1 April 1921, another Jat high school, bearing the name Jat Heroes Memorial High School, came up at Rohtak. It was dedicated to the memory of the heroes who fell on different fronts during the War. The ex-soldiers, had lived, as people know, in airy, well lighted, trig and tidy spaces, barracks or camps, located in spic and span surroundings throughout their service career.
