Jath

History

Jat was the capital of a former Maratha jagir ruled by Dafales. Most of the dynasty period it was affiliated with Bijapur. For some time it was associated with Kolhapur as well as Satara Maratha dynasties. Later, Jat became a non-salute princely state until 8 March 1948 and then joined the Dominion of India. Then it was part of Satara district. When the Sangli district was formed, Jat became the eastern tahasil of Sangli. Freedom fighter Sindhura Lakshmana was born in Sindhur village of Jath taluka. Lakshmana (1898–1922) fought against the British colonial government in India. He is remembered as a popular rebel hero and freedom fighter in Karnataka. Several films, plays and theatrical performances depict his life and deeds. A Kannada film, Veera Sindhoora Lakshmana, released in 1977, depicts his rebellion and struggle against the British.
