Origins of the Jatavs, as well as most other Chamar and Untouchable castes, are mythical. Some say the Jatavs are the product of marriage of upper-caste Jats with Chamar women. Jatavs themselves deny such origins. In preindependent India they claimed upper-caste Kshatriya or warrior origin. In post-independent India many have claimed to be descendants of India's ancient Buddhists. This claim is in part a rejection of Untouchable status and in part an assertion of a political identity of equality rejecting the caste system.
2.Jataves were survivors of the ancient war between Parashuram, the legend of the Brahmins, and Kshatriyas, forced into hiding. Proof of Kshatriya ancestry is found in a series of correspondences or status similarities between Jatav and Other Kshatriya clana. These includes identical gotras, and such Kshatriya-like ceremonies as shooting a cannon at wedding and the use of the bow and arrow at the birth.

2. Jatav survivors of ancient times due parsuram . Kshatriya hiding themselves between jat and other gotra/community. Raghav clan did vivah in jat clan and which is a unclubable in both caste and that's why raghav+jat called Jatav an untouchable caste/clan.
3. Chamar Caste, Vedic /historical period says chanwar Vans a kshatriya clan we have in India.. Due to Mughal Arabic and other rulers they forced to perform leather profession as one of the case is Ravidas in the period of aurangzeb. By time chanwar now called as chamaar a shudra by leather profession a low category karma.
4. Jatav is an unclubable untouchable mix caste clan vs Chamaar is a shudra pure clan and part of Varn system.
