Milki
The Milki are a Muslim community found in the state of Uttar Pradesh in India. They are also known as Malik, and found entirely in the Awadh region. A small number of Milki are also found in Karachi in Pakistan.〔Tribes and castes of Northwestern Provinces and Oudh by William Crooke〕 The Milki, together with the Qidwai, Malik and Chaudhary are one of the four sub-group of a community who collectively form the Mian Muslim. The Mian Muslim were once a community of substantial landowners in the Awadh region.〔 People of India Uttar Pradesh Volume XLII Part One edited by A Hasan & J C Das pages 968 to 972 Manohar Publications〕
== Origin ==
The Milki get their name from the fact that their ancestors were a class to whom revenue free grants (''milk'' in Persian) of land were made during the period of the Delhi Sultanate. They were given these grants of land as an incentive to settle the land. In Unnao District, they were substantial landowners, and played an important role in the history of that district.
They were also the scribes, administrators, writers, magistrates, judges. lawyers, chief executive officers and village accountants in the Awadh region. The Milki were also appointed to the position of clerks and official record keepers by the state. As part of their duties, they learnt Turkish and Arabic, economics, administration and taxation. They successfully adapted themselves as scribes and functionaries under the new colonial British. The Milki have much in common with the neighbouring Muslim community, the Kayatha Muslim, with whom they share many traditions and customs.〔Tribes and castes of Northwestern Provinces and Oudh by William Crooke〕
