Barai (caste)
The Barai are a Hindu caste found in the state Uttar Pradesh in India. They are also known as Chaurasia, and are a sub-group within the larger Tamboli community of South Asia.〔People of India Uttar Pradesh Volume XLII Part One edited by A Hasan & J C Das page 177 to 182 Manohar Publications〕
==Origin==
The Barai derive their name from the Sanskrit word ''vritti'' which means a maintainer. According to other traditions, they get their name from the word ''bari'', which means a hedge or enclosure. Both these names alludes to the fact that they are a community of horticulturists. They are a community that grows and sells the betel leaf. The Barai are found mainly in eastern and central Uttar Pradesh, their place in the west is taken by the Tamboli, who are also traditionally involved in the cultivation of betel leaves. The Barai are very likely to be a sub-division of the Tamboli community. They are further divided into a number of clans, the main ones being the Chaurasia, Katiyar, Jaiswar, Mahobia and Nag .〔
