The Gadaria or Gadariya (also known as Baghel, Pal, Gadri,[1] Gayri,[1] or Gaari[2]) is a herding caste that was traditionally involved professionally in livestock breeding, especially sheep.[3] They are primarily found in Uttar Pradesh and in some parts of Punjab, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Bihar.Шаблон:Sfnp In Gujarat, they are called Bharwad.[4]
Etymology
The word Gadaria is derived from the old Hindi word Gadar, which means sheep.[5]
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.Шаблон:Sfnp They started caste magazines like "Pal Kshatriya Samachar" and "Shepherd Times". Later the community went through the process of de-sanskritisation 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.Шаблон:Sfnp
