Gurjars

Gurjars, also spelled as Gujjars, are an ethnic group primarily found in northern India, particularly in states like Rajasthan, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh. They are traditionally pastoralists and have a rich cultural heritage, with roots in agriculture and livestock rearing. Gurjars speak various languages, including Hindi and their dialects. The community is known for its contributions to society, including notable figures in politics, sports, and the arts. While historically recognized as a nomadic group, many Gurjars have settled in urban areas, engaging in diverse professions and playing an active role in contemporary Indian society.
