Gardis are a sub-caste of the Patil community of the Deccan Plateau in India.
Later History
Some Gardis who went along with the deposed Peshwa to settle in Kanpur and Bithoor in Uttar Pradesh in North India. Gardis along with other Maratha sub-caste members had also served in personal army of Arthur Wellesley later on Duke of Wellington during his wars with Tipu Sultan, Battle of Akkey against armies of Scindia and Bhosale, First Anglo-Afghan War, and Anglo-Sikh wars.
Present circumstances
Over time, the Gardis were assimilated into Marathi culture. Now most have accepted the Marathi way of life, and have accepted their name of village as their surname with Patil as prefix, or the name of the trade they are practicing. One Sumersingh Gardi and other fellow Gardi men were employed by Raghunathrao to murder Narayanrao, his nephew, in 1773, to usurp the title of Peshwa.
