MAHARS IN INDIA
The Mahars are an important social group within the Indian state of Maharashtra state and surrounding states. A grouping of related endogamous castes, the Mahar are the largest scheduled caste group in Maharashtra. In the early 1980s, the Mahar community was estimated to make up about 9% of the population of the state of Maharashtra. According to Mr. R.V. Russell, "the most probable meaning of Mahārāshtra would therefore seem to be ‘The country of the Mahārs.’".
The Mahars traditionally lived on the outskirts of villages and performed a number of tasks related to the boundaries of the community. In the 20th century significant numbers of Mahars began to leave their traditional villages and move into the urban centers of India in search of better employment and educational opportunities.
The Mahars have excelled in military services for the last several centuries and Shivaji recruited a large number of Mahars into his army in the 17th century. During the colonial period, a large number of Mahars were recruited for military duties by the East India Company and the British Raj. This martial tradition has continued and has found expression in the organization of a Mahar Regiment by the Indian Army in 1941.
Notable Mahars:
Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar (India's first Law Minister, architect of Indian Constitution)
Subedar Ramji Sakpal (father of Dr. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar) (Subedar Major—a VCO or Viceroy Commissioned Officer (the equivalent of a Sergeant Major)—in a battalion of the British Indian Army's Mahar Regiment)
