About This Tool
It is well known that the caste system in India is so entrenched that it is difficult for the average person to disintegrate it completely. Many of Gujarat’s castes are among the most disadvantaged of the lower castes, and this has shaped their lives. In addition, the random tool collates 30 of Gujarat’s major caste communities and their populations for interested people to view.
Gujarat is very caste-rich and has clear class distinctions. Every community and its population is different, and there is a big Gini coefficient gap. Meghwal, Meghval and Menghvar are the largest castes of Gujarat in terms of the population calculated on this generator list, which is the absolute number one in the locality. An Indian’s family name plus such as occupation, appearance, accent and so on, basically can determine its caste. But caste is not guaranteed by surnames, and there are exceptions in India where low caste Hindus convert their families to other religions or even change their family names.
