This
people Called as Koli people or Agri People
The Koli
people are historically an ethnic Indian group native to Rajasthan,
Himachal Pradesh, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Uttar
Pradesh and Haryana states.
While
the Koli are mostly Hindu, in Mumbai, Native Christians
include autichtonous Koli East Indian Catholics,
who were converted by the Portuguese during the 16th century.
Nineteenth century
The Kolis
of Gujarat intermixed with Rajputs due to the practice of hypergamous
marriage, which was commonly used to enhance or secure social status.
Some Kolis
had also once held small princely states before the colonial British Raj
period and some were still significant landholders and tenants in the twentieth
century. However, most Kolis had lost their once-equal standing with the
Patidar community due to the land reforms of the Raj period and, for
example, most Kolis in the Saurashtra region of Gujarat
were still occupied as agricultural labourers or tenant cultivators in the
1990s.
Twentieth century
During
the later period of the Raj, the Gujarati Kolis became involved
in the process of what has subsequently been termed sanskritisation. At that
time, in the 1930s, they represented around 20 per cent of the region's
population and members of the local Rajput community were seeking to
extend their own influence by co-opting other significant groups as claimants
to the ritual title of Kshatriya. The Rajputs were politically,
economically and socially marginalised because their own numbers —
around 4 - 5 per cent of the population — were inferior to the dominant Patidars,
with whom the Kolis were also disenchanted. The Kolis were among those
whom the Rajputs targeted because, although classified as a criminal
tribe by the British administration, they were among the many communities of
that period who had made genealogical claims of descent from the Kshatriya.
The Rajput leaders preferred to view the Kolis as being Kshatriya
by dint of military ethos rather than origin but, in whatever terminology, it
was a marriage of political expedience.
In
1947, around the time that India gained independence, the Kutch, Kathiawar,
Gujarat Kshatriya Sabha (KKGKS) caste association
emerged as an umbrella organisation to continue the work begun during the Raj.
Christophe Jaffrelot, a historian and political scientist, says that
this body, which claimed to represent the Rajputs and Kolis,
"... is a good example of the way castes, with very different ritual
status, join hands to defend their common interests. ... The use of the word
Kshatriya was largely tactical and the original caste identity was seriously
diluted."
