JatLand.com is a caste website associated with the Jats. The website operates a Misplaced Pages-style encyclopedia covering gotras (clans), locations, languages, and issues involving Jats and Khaps. During the Indian farmers protest of 2020–21, the website was one of the digital mediums used to spread the message and cause of the protesting farmers, especially amongst the Jat diaspora. The website narrates history from a Jat-perspective and promotes the caste. Membership on the website is generally limited to Hindu Jats. An early figure of the website was Rajesh Sindhu of Cisco. The website dates to around 2000.

The Jat community, whose members occupy prominent positions in many Khap Panchayats across Haryana and Uttar Pradesh, also has a Misplaced Pages-styled website named "Jatland.com", which provides information and multimedia content on various Gotras, places, languages, and other issues concerning Jats and Khaps.

One notable aspect was how social media also facilitated connections between the farmers' movement and the Jat Diaspora worldwide. By using platforms like Jatland.com and WhatsApp, the young farmers were able to garner international support, both financial and political.

She added that the 'Jat Brand' should be projected; Jats should feel proud of their culture, and stop fighting among themselves. She expressed happiness that a website of Jat boys, www.jatland.com has been opened. She emphasized at the same time that Jats should adapt to the requirements of the globalization. A large number of the Jats have expressed their concern on the general image of Jats as 'impolite, rude, and aggressive'. In their opinion, such behaviour leads to their isolation.
