Sunar
Sunar (alternately Suniar(eh), Sonar or Swarnkar) is a Hindu caste in India and Nepal referring to the community of people who work as goldsmiths.〔''People of India'': Uttar Pradesh (Volume XLII) edited by A Hasan & J C Das page 1500 to 150〕 Though the community is primarily Hindu, some members in the states of Haryana and Punjab are Sikh. Though they are the traditional goldsmiths of North India, now many are also landowners, involved in cultivation, as well as selling grocery. But their main occupation remains the manufacture and selling of jewellery. Members of the community are also involved in pawnbroking and moneylending.〔''People of India'': Uttar Pradesh (Volume XLII) edited by A Hasan & J C Das page 1503〕 ==Etymology== The term ''Sunar'' may derive from the Sanskrit ''suvarna kār'', "worker in gold".
