  • Bhoyar-Pawar caste


Bhoyar is a Kshatriya caste primarily found in central province of india . It is an offshoot branch of Parmar/Panwar Kshatriya Dynasty. They claim to be decedents of Panwar Rajputs of Malwa [1]. They have been migrated from Malwa with thier families when it was besieged by Aurangzeb and settled in Betul , Chhindwara and Wardha region of Central India [2]. This region was called as Bhoyar-Patti by the native people of this place and hence the Panwars migrated here were called as Bhoyar-Pawar by the locals [3] . They still speak a corrupt form of the Malvi dialect of Rajputana, which is called after them Bhoyari [4] or Pawari.

Panwar , Pawar , Bhoyar or Bhoyar-Pawar are all names of Pawars residing in Betul , Chhindwara and Wardha region [5] . Since they migrated to this region from Malwa , they have slowly abandoned most of the Rajput customs and traditions [6]. At present , thier customs and rituals are somewhat smilar to Marathas , Kubis and Brahmins of Maharashtra . According to Maharashtra gazette and census they are mostly cultivators [7] but some of them are also good at businesses. Since after there migration to central province, farming is there main occupation.
