Kunbi

Traditional Indian society was as a
collection of endogamous subgroups
(in which marriage is decreed by law
to occur only between members of
the same group) known as jatis
(“birth”). Jatis were organized (and their
social status determined) by the group’s
hereditary occupation, over which each
group held a monopoly. The Kunbis’
traditional occupation was farming.
They were the dominant landholding
community in Gujarat.
