Dhobi, known in some places as Dhoba, Rajaka, is a scheduled caste in India and the greater Indian subcontinent whose traditional occupations are washing, ironing, and agricultural labour.

In 2017, Supreme Court of India noted calling people dhobi was offensive.

In Maharashtra, the Dhobi are found throughout the state, and are also known as Parit. They speak Marathi among themselves, and Hindi with outsiders.[need quotation to verify]

Vannar belongs to the Valangai ("Right-hand caste faction"). Some of The Valangai comprised castes with an agricultural basis while the Idangai consisted of castes involved in manufacturing, Valangai, which was better organised politically [need quotation to verify]
