The Gadaria or Gadariya (also known as, Pal,[1],[2] Gayri,[2] or Gaari[3]) is an ethnic group that was traditionally involved professionally in livestock breeding, especially sheep.[4] They are primarily found in Uttar Pradesh,[5] Karnataka,[6] Goa,[7] Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh,[8] Telanga[9] and in some parts of Punjab, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Bihar.[10] In Gujarat, they are called Bharwad.

Etymology

The word Gadaria is derived from the old Hindi word Gadar, which means sheep.[12]

History

In the early 1910s, an educated class of Gadarias formed All India Pal Kshatriya Mahasabha. There were debates within the community whether to add Kshatriya suffix to the community name. In the 1930s, they started referring to themselves as "Pali Rajput", a synonym of Pal kshatriya.[13] They started caste magazines like "Pal kshatriya Samachar" and "Shepherd Times". Later the community went through the process of de-sanskritization and dropped the suffix Kshatriya. Among the reasons cited for de-sanskritization were losing autonomy of their caste identity and avoiding being submerged into the identity of high castes.[14]

Sub-castes and clans

There are two major subdivisions amongst Gadarias, namely Dhangar and Nikhar. They share the same gotras. Chauhan, Tawar Parihar, Sisodiya, Sikarwar, Chandel, RIYAR, Mohania, Maurya etc. are some of the gotras amongst them.[15]

Classification

In Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Delhi they are classified as Other Backward Class in the Indian System of Reservation.[16][17][5][18][19]

Religion

They practice Hinduism, worship family deities and various other deities including Ram, Krishna, Shiva, Vishnu, Hanuman, Kali, Chandi and Lakshmi. Some of them wear sacred thread. Majority of them are vegetarians.[20]
