Bhatti is a Punjabi[1][2] and a Sindhi[3][4][5] clan of Rajputs.[6][7][8] Some Jats also claim to be Bhattis. The name Bhatti is a Punjabi form of Bhati,[9] and they along with Bhuttos and Bhatias claim to have originated from the Hindu Bhati Rajputs.[10] The Bhati/Bhatti Rajputs, are descended from a common ancestor, Rao Bhatti, a 3rd-century Hindu monarch.[11]

The Muslim Bhattis had control over Bhatner and settlements around it. The Bhattis later lost Bhatner to the Rathores of Bikaner, who renamed Bhatner as Hanumangarh.[12] In the years preceding the Indian rebellion of 1857[page needed], the British East India Companey assigned pioneering Jat peasants proprietary rights over forested lands frequented by the Rajputs (Bhattis), Gurjars, Banjaras, Passis, and other wandering pastoral groups in Delhi and western Haryana regions.[13]
