Muslim Gaddi
The Muslim Gaddi are a Muslim community found mainly in northern India. After the partition of India in 1947, many of the Gaddi in the states of Haryana and Delhi migrated to Pakistan and are now found in the provinces of Punjab and Sindh. In Pakistan and North India, community members are called Ghazi. The Gaddi of Bihar claim Arab ancestry. The Ghazi (Gaddi) in Bihar and Jharkhand claim descent from a Sufi saint named Gaddi Salahuddin Elahi, who is said to have arrived in that region in the 19th century[citation needed].
With regards to the Muslim Ghazi, there are different theories as to their origin. The Gaddi of Bihar claim Arab ancestry.[citation needed] The Ghazi|Gaddi in Bihar and Jharkhand claim descent from a Sufi saint Gaddi Salahuddin Elahi, and said to have arrived in the region in the 19th century.[citation needed] This is shown by the fact that most Ghazi|Gaddi in Bihar and Jharkhand still speak Bhojpuri, the language of eastern Uttar Pradesh, and not the local Sadri language.[citation needed] According to some other sources, they were the earliest inhabitants of Awadh, and this region they are often also referred.[citation needed]
The Muslim Gaddi of North India are found in the plains of North India, distributed in the states of Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Bihar.[citation needed] Prior to the partition of the subcontinent in 1947, Muslim Gaddi communities were also found in Haryana.[citation needed]
According to some other sources, they were the earliest inhabitants of Awadh, and this region they are often also referred.[citation needed] The Gaddi are found in Ranchi, Dhanbad, Lohardaga, Chakradharpur, Rohtas and Jamshedpur. The Gaddi are strictly endogamous, and practice both cross-cousin and parallel cousin marriages. They speak both Urdu and Bhojpuri. The Gaddi of Bihar are largely relying on the selling of milk, and are a semi-urban community. A small number of the community have become businessmen and traders. The Gaddi have their own clan association, the Bihar Gaddi Anjuman. Some sources say Muslim Gaddi were Rajputs in origin that converted to Islam. The latest comprehensive post-colonial study done on Muslim Gaddis by the Dr. B. R. Ambedkar University of Social Sciences for the purpose of handing out accurate data to the government in 1995 concluded that the Muslim Gaddis were Rajputs in origin.
Progress of Gaddis in Modern India In Delhi, through the efforts of the late Mr Noor Mohammad (advocate), an All India Gaddi Welfare Association(AIGWA) was founded in the year 1988, with the aim of uniting and the social upliftment of Gaddis from various parts of India. Gaddis have contributed to the development of modern India by effectively taking part in the scientific and technical establishments, medical profession, legal fraternity, and politics of India. Many Gaddis in India have migrated for better educational and financial opportunities to metropolitan cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, and Ahmedabad. Many Gaddis have emigrated to western countries in pursuit of better prospects. According to Khalid Rehman Ghazi S/o Late Abdur Rehman Ghazi , A Master's degree holder in History from Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi , Indian Muslim Gaddi originated from Turky. He says that the Turkish Gaddi cmmunity came in India during the time of Mehmood Gaznavi as soldiers and ultimately settled in India. This community remain loyal with every ruling class in India. Even they remain loyal to the British Government and today this community have four MLAs in Utter Pradesh.
A Research Book (in Urdu) on Gaddi casts has been written by Abdul Jabbar Khan Ghazi, A Ghazi|Gaddi Lawyer, discussing all castes and sub-castes of Ghazi|Gaddi present in India and Pakistan . The Origin and the initial use of Word "Gaddi" is discussed in detail in the book.[citation needed]
There also exists an alpine Hindu nomadic community sharing the same name of Gaddi but they are different and not to be confused as related to each other
In North India, the Gaddi are a community that has been associated with farming, mostly cattle. They are involved in the selling of milk, especially those settled in towns. Some owns the huge parts of Land that are earned by hard work of their ancestors. They have much in common with other pastoral communities, In addition, the western Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Haryana the Gaddi have always possessed agricultural land, and are a small and medium scale cultivators. However, in eastern Uttar Pradesh, the word Gaddi is almost become synonymous with milk selling.[page needed]
