Your questions’ what is a castiest Hindu’ is a deep and broad question, which deserves a separate thread.

Here let us stay with Jat history, and its connections with other streams.

As you are an Iyer, and interested in jat history, you may be interested to that there are other Iyers also on the Jathistory group.

The ‘Iyers’ if I mistake not have a tradition, that they moved to the Southern part of the Indian sub continent from the north.

The Jats of the Baliyan clan, Dist Muzzafarnagar, have a tradition, that they moved there from Ballabhipur ( Vallabhipur)( Gujarat/Sindh) in the 7th/8th centuries on, as part of a general movement of clans, with the Islamic invasions,. They also have a tradition that they sent their purohits /Brahmins into the Interior, to protect them and the store of Knowledge.

The Baliyan Clan held the hereditary position of Mantri, and hosted the Sarv Khap parliament/meetings.

The Sarv Khap records also show the Sarv Khap sent a number of Mulls/Warriors to train the Army of Dev Rana of Vijaynagar

“”There is also a letter from Dev Rana the ruler of Vijayanagar, asking
for a number of Mull Yodhas (as they were known) from the Khap to be
sent his to court, so that they can train his soldiers, to be able to
remove the pestilence of the Mussalman. A number were sent to
Vijayanagar, where the imparted training to the Rana's troops.””


I hope this is more interesting to read
