Ad-Dharmi
The Ad-Dharmi ((パンジャーブ語:ਆਦਿ ਧਰਮੀ)) were a community found in the state of Punjab in India. They are one of a number of Hindu sub-groups that was granted Scheduled Caste status in the beginning of free India and after 2002 ad-dharmis were given general status looking towards their modern and high standards of living. Basically Ad-dharmi is a community which worked as cloth merchants who are also called khattris.
== Origin ==
The ad-dharmi movement was started in 1920's, for the purpose of getting a distinct religious identity. The founder of the ad-dharmi movement was Mangu Ram Mugowalia and B L Gherra.〔pg 20, Sikh Identity: An Exploration Of Groups Among Sikhs by Opinderjit Kaur Takhar〕 The word ''ad dharm'' means original faith in Sanskrit, and this term was adopted by groups of khattris who were affiliated with the Ad-Dharam Mandal, a reformist Ravidassia sect. As is common in many other parts of India, this reformist sect has evolved into a caste, with strict rules of endogamy. Marriages are even rare with other members of the Chamar caste. The Ad-Dharmi are further divided into a number of exogamous clans, the main ones being the Bangur, Bhardwaj, Bhargu, Chakhu, Chokhria, Chandar, choudhary, Hohe, Por, Rai, Rattu, Sandhu, Soniara, Sund, Sidhu, Shergill and Thind and Pharias community.〔People of India Punjab Volume XXXVII edited by I.J.S Bansal and Swaran Singh pages 20 to 25 Manohar〕
