Шаблон:Pp-protect Шаблон:Needs more citations Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use Indian English The Dhedh are a menial worker and weaving caste of India. Historically, other Hindu communities considered them to be an untouchable group, outside the Hindu ritual ranking system known as varna. This community too observes untouchability in relationships with other low-status castes.[1] The community are sometimes referred to as Vankars.[2][3]
In the 1930s-40s, many depressed classes and communities were active in trying to change their caste name and elevate their social status to that of Rajput. These included the Khalpa, who wanted to be known as Rohit, and the Bhangi's desire to be known as Rishi, as well as the Vankar claim to Mahyavanshi status. Of these, only the Mahyavanshi claim was successful in gaining official recognition from the British Raj administration.[2] This success was limited to a part of the community in South Gujarat.[3]
