Friend you have posted it in the beginning of the thread as post 1 of your previous thread entitled BBC NEWS | Europe | Scythian mummy shown in Germany and presently you better know why it has been repeated at Sr 81 of the thread under reference.
Moreover, it would be good if you could throw some light on the basis of this information on history of Jats.
Thanks
Dear Sir, I AM afraid that You have mistakenly missed-out that I have only provided the link to the respective thread here, so that when researchers interested in the Jat History throughout the globe come across this WebSite & more specifically this very Thread, We should make sure that We share with them more & more scrutinized information over the subject !! And, I believe that by sharing the link to that Thread, I AM doing so !!
Note : This WebSite is the "digitized version" of Jat History !!
---------------------
In answer to Your query, "it would be good if you could throw some light on the basis of this information on history of Jats", I request You to read Article 'Scythians' on Jatland Wiki.
Thanks !!

Good elaboration of short arrows !
We are in a process to Wikify book by H. W. Bellew titled - An Inquiry Into the Ethnography of Afghanistan/Page 26-50 which will be of great help in understanding Jat clans.
I quote from this book page-36:
Strabo says,
"Most of the Scythians, beginning from the Hyrkanian Sea, are called Dahai Skuthai, and those more to the east Massagetai and Sakai; the rest have the common appellation of Skythians, but each separate tribe has its peculiar name. The best known tribes are those who deprived the Greeks of Baktriana, the Arioi, Pasianoi, Tokharoi, and Sakarauloi, who came from the country beyond the Jaxartes, opposite the Sakai and Sogdianoi, and which country was also occupied by Sakai. Some tribes of the Dahai are surnamed Aparnoi, some Xanthioi, others Pissuroi. The Aparnoi approach nearest to Hyrkania and the Caspian Sea ; the others extend as far as the country opposite to Aria."
We have talked so much about our common ancestors. We are all somehow related by clanish identity as most Jat clans have intermarried for hundreds of years and that is one of the reasons that we try not to marry in our closest clans.
The main question at this point is:
During the migration/wars/famines and other hard periods lot of such clans migrated to isolated places in the country and many of them are still leading a nomadic way of life. Many of such Jat clans might not be even aware of the their Jat identity.
What are "Jat organizations" doing for their settlement and continuation of clan attachment to close knit Jat clans already established in villages doing sustained agriculture.
I think there is a need to integrated these still nomadic and often deprived and isolated Jat clans and this can only be done through proper resources.
I have seen in old times, often people with resources used to open schools, hostels and other facilities for children. They also used to integrate them into village communities through marriages and work.

http://www.livius.org/sao-sd/scythians/scythians.html suggests:
"The first to describe the life style of these tribes was a Greek researcher, Herodotus, who lived in the fifth century BCE. Although he concentrates on the tribes living in modern Ukraine, which he calls Scythians, we may extrapolate his description to people in Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and possibly Mongolia, even though Herodotus usually calls these eastern nomads 'Sacae'. In fact, just as the Scythians and the Sacae shared the same life style, they had the same name: in their own language, which belonged to the Indo-Iranian family, they called themselves Skudat ('archers'?). The Persians rendered this name as Sakâ and the Greeks as Skythai. The Chinese called them, at a later stage in history, Sai.
