The Wattu (also spelled Wattoo) (Hindi: वतु, Urdu: وٹو) are a Muslim Rajput and Muslim Jats tribe found in Punjab, Pakistan. The Wattu Rajputs of Satluj have later become Bodlas and now they deny their Rajput origin and claim a commonly admitted Qureshi origin. They mostly inhabit the Depalpur district and Pakpattan district where they are mostly agriculturists and landowners. Some menial tribes and groups are attached to the Wattoos, such as the Fazal ka Maneka and others. Wattu caste has close relationship with Sukhera caste.
History
Historically, the Wattu/Wattoo were mostly Hindus, when some of their chiefs and leaders accepted Islam. The Wattu had a rather ambiguous position, later, towards the British, and even actively resisted them until the final annexation of the Punjab in March 1849, following the Second Anglo-Sikh War.
