Gurjar

Gurjars are an ethnic group primarily found in India, particularly in the states of Rajasthan, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh. Historically, they have been pastoralists and farmers, known for their contributions to agriculture and trade. Over time, they have played significant roles in various regions, sometimes taking on roles as warriors or landowners. The Gurjar community has a diverse cultural heritage, with its own languages, traditions, and social structures. In contemporary India, they are recognized for their demands for affirmative action and reservations in education and government jobs, reflecting ongoing social and economic challenges.
