Banjara
The Banjara (also called Lambani and Gormati) are a community usually described as nomadic people from the Indian state of Rajasthan, now spread out all over Indian subcontinent.
== Origin ==
According to Burman the name Laman was popular long before the name Banjara, and Laman Banjaras originally came from Afghanistan before settling in Rajasthan and other parts of India. The Lamans, according to him, are originally from the independent province called Gor in Afghanistan.〔J.J Roy Burman, ''Ethnography of a Denotified Tribe The Laman Banjara'' A Mittal Publication〕
Banjaras were traditionally suppliers of bullock and salt merchants. The word Banjara is said to be derived from Sanskrit word ''vana chara'' (wanderers in jungle). The word Lambani or Lamani is derived from Sanskrit word ''lavana'' (salt) which was the principal good they transported across the country.〔B. G. Halbar, p.14〕
