Kisan (caste)
The Kisan are a Hindu caste found in the state of Uttar Pradesh in India. They are also known as Kisan Mahur and Mahato. They have been granted Other Backward Class status.〔Tribes and Castes of North Western Provinces and Oudh Volume III by William Crook pages 285 to 287〕
The Kisan get their name from the Hindi word ''kisan'', which literally meanns a farmer. They are a community of cultivators found in Rohilkhand, Farrukhabad District, and the Awadh districts of Kheri and Hardoi. The Kisan are simply an endogamous sub-group of the lodhi community. Like other neighbouring Hindu communities, they practice clan and village exogamy. There clans, which are known as gotras, are the Haldiya, Saki, Kanaujiya, Khagi, Lodha and Patariya. Each of these clans in of equal status, and intermarry.〔Tribes and Castes of North Western Provinces and Oudh Volume III by William Crook pages 285 to 287〕
As a community of cultivators, they tend to live in villages dominated by their own community. Their villages contain caste councils, known as biradari panchayats, which act as instruments of social control.
