Due to lack of education, they shifted to other sub-clans associated with Sisodiya of Rajput clan in the middle age of India. In the history of Rajput they lost lives for their kings in the battlefield. They also claim relation to Rupan Bari, a soldier in the army of Alha. After the defeat of Maharana Pratap, many Bari people (soldiers) fled to forests . The Bari community get their name from the Sanskrit word “vari” meaning water.

One day when Vishnu was offering rice-milk to the spirits of his ancestors, he also offered a gift called vikraya dan to some Brahmin priests who did not accept his gift. Vishnu made a man of clay, blew on the image and gave it life. He named his creation Sundar (handsome one) and offered him the same gift. Sundar was the first Bari, and he agreed to accept the gift on condition that all men should drink with him and recognize the purity of his caste. Vishnu asked him to bring a cup of water which he drank in the presence of all castes, thereby establishing the Bari’s pure status. According to another legend from Maharastra, at the time of the sagar manthan (churning of the sea) – a huge white elephant was birthed with a betel creeper around its leg. This was the first betel-leaf plant and it was given to the Bari for cultivation 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bari (caste)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
