Churigar
The Churigar are a Muslim community found in the state of Rajasthan in India〔People of India Rajasthan Volume XXXVIII Part Two edited by B.K Lavania, D. K Samanta, S K Mandal & N.N Vyas pages 268 to 270 Popular Prakashan〕 and the Punjab province of Pakistan.〔A Glossary of the Tribes and Castes of Punjab and the North West Frontier Province Volume II by H A Rose pages 214〕
== Origin ==
Their name means a manufacturer of bangles, from the Urdu ''churi'' bangle and ''gar'' maker. The Churigar are found mainly in the districts of Bhilwara, Chittorgarh, Pali, Jodhpur and Udaipur in Rajasthan. Historically, the Churigar were also found in Hissar, Rohtak and Gurgaon in what is now Haryana, as well as in the districts Gujrat, Sialkot, Mandi Bahaudin and Sargodha in Pakistan. The Churigar were nomadic community, one of the many gypsy like groups found in Rajasthan and Haryana. By the middle of the 19th Century, groups of Churigar had begun to migrate to villages in the Punjab, selling jewelry and bangles. At the time of the partition of India in 1947, almost all the Haryana immigrated to Pakistan.〔Servicing the Ordinary Folk: Peripatetic Peoples and their Niche in South Asia pages 104 to 124 in Nomadism in South Asia edited by Aparna Roa and Michael J Casimir〕
In Rajasthan, the Churigar speak Mewari among themselves and Hindi with outsiders. Those who have attended Islamic madrasas also understand Urdu. Like most Muslim artisan castes, the Churigar claim a Middle Eastern and in particular an Arab origin. However, it is likely that they also incorporate converts from similar status Hindu castes of Rajasthan.〔
