==Origin==
The word ''atishbaz'' literally means a firework maker, from the Persian ''atish'' meaning fire, and ''baz'' meaning to play, and the community is said to have acquired the name on account of their traditional occupation, which was the manufacture of fireworks. According to the traditions of the community, they were originally brought over by the Mughals from Central Asia, as their ancestors were specialists in the manufacture of gunpowder. With the decline of the Mughal Empire, the community took to the manufacturing of fireworks. They are found mainly in eastern Uttar Pradesh, in the districts of Mirzapur, Azamgarh, Jaunpur, Basti, Gonda and Varanasi. In Varanasi, they are found in the Kashipura, Aurangabad and Ram Nagar localities. The Atishbaz speak Bhojpuri, although most educated Atishbaz also speak Urdu.〔People of India Uttar Pradesh Volume XLII Part Two edited by A Hasan & J C Das page 90 to 94 Manohar Publications〕 A separate grouping of Atishbaz is found in Moradabad and Aligarh districts, where in the city of yAligarh, they occupy the neighbourhood of Atishbazan. These Atishbaz speak Khari boli, as well as Urdu.〔Tribes and Castes of North Western Provinces and Oudh Volume I by William Crook page 86〕 a small number of atishbaz community is also lives in rajasthan's shekhavati area.
