Famous Freedom Fighters of Haryana

Sir Chhotu Ram

He was one of the most prominent pre-independence politicians in Punjab and a champion of the interests of the Jat peasantry He was born on 24th November, 1881, in Ghari Sampla in Rohtak district in a Jat Gotra, Ohlan family. Chhotu Ram joined a primary school in January 1891, passing out four years later. He studied for his middle school examination in Jhajjar, 12 miles from his village. He left Jhajjar to be enrolled in the Christian Mission School in Delhi, though it was not easy for the family to raise the funds for his education.

He was emerging as the sole spokesman of Jat interests by this time. In the 1920s and 1930s, he not only founded various organisations, but was the chief inspiration behind the assertion of a specifically Jat identity in Punjab society and politics.

After the war, Sir Chhotu Ram extended his activities beyond Rohtak. He set out to mobilise Jats in Rajasthan and Western Uttar Pradesh, where they were already being organised by the Jat Sabha. Sir Chhotu Ram opposed the concept of Pakistan and formed a separate group of thirteen members in the Punjab Assembly, when most Muslim Unionists joined the Muslim League. His death brought about the demise of the Unionist Party. His title was given by the British because of his great help in recruiting Jats for the British Indian Army in World War II.
