Ahiwasi

Ahiwasi, sometimes spelt Ahivasi is a Brahmin sub-caste found in the states of Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh in India.〔Ahiwasi in Tribes and Castes of North Western Provinces and Oudh by William Crook Volume I pages 72 to 75〕〔The last wanderers : nomads and gypsies of India by Tejinder Singh Randhawa page 139 Ahmedabad. Mapin Publishing Pvt. Ltd.. 1996 ISBN 0-944142-35-4〕
== Origin ==

The Ahiwasi take their name from the Sanskrit ''ahi'' meaning dragon and ''was'' meaning dwelling, and their name means those who come from the abode of the dragon. They are said to have gotten this name on account of their association with Rishi Saubhari, who is said to have provided sanctuary to dragons at the village of Sunrakh, in what is now Mathura District. The Ahiwasi claim to be descendents of the rishi. Historically, the Ahiwasi were involved in the carrying trade, transporting salt from Rajasthan to other parts of North India. This led to settlements of the caste in the Narbada valley. In Madhya Pradesh, according to the traditions of the caste, Ahiwasi are descended from a Brahman father and a Kshatriya mother.〔
