Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:For Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use Indian English Шаблон:Infobox ethnic group Gaur Brahmins (also spelled Gor, Gour, Gaud or Gauda) are a community of Brahmins in India. They are one of the five Pancha Gauda Brahmin communities that live north of the Vindhyas.[1][2]
Demographics
Gaur Brahmins are most numerous in the western half of Northern India, particularly in the states of Haryana, Rajasthan, and western parts of Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh, but a significant number are present in other northern states of India also.[3]
Brahmins, mostly Gaurs, have a significant population in Delhi, around 12% - 14%, larger than the combined population of Jats and Gujjars. They play a dominant role in the region's politics.[4]Шаблон:Clarify[5]Шаблон:Pn
Military
During World War I, Gaur Brahmins were recruited to regiments and companies of the British Indian Army, notably the 1st Brahmans and 3rd Brahmans.[6]
Social status
In places where Gaur Brahmins reside, Brahmins who are not of the Gaur community are often considered to have an inferior status.[7]
