Chautala as a surname, which was his native village name, although his family belongs to
Sihag clan of Jats
.[ “ Chautala was the eldest of the four sons of Chaudhary Devi Lal, the legendary Jat leader who twice became the deputy prime minister of India. He was the first to have started writing his village Chautala’s name as his second name, though the family’s ‘gotra’ (clan) is Sihag.”]
