==History and origin==
The community get their name Me from the Kutchi word me, which means buffalo. They are concentrated in 110 villages of Abdasa Taluka of Kutch. According to some traditions, the Me were once Kolis, and many call themselves Wadha Koli. Their habitat is part of the Banni region. The community is rare in that it observed both Islamic and Hindu rituals and practices. During the 1970s, the bulk of the community abandoned Islamic customs, and embraced Hinduism. A few of the Bhuj Me have now adopted Islam, and the community is split along religious lines.〔People of India Gujarat Volume XXI Part Two edited by R.B Lal, P.B.S.V Padmanabham, G Krishnan & M Azeez Mohideen pages 888-892〕
