Please do not add statements to this article unless you provide a reliable source that verifies them. Similarly, do not remove reliably sourced information that is already present. I am well aware that various people do not like the idea that their community has any sort of connection to the Chamar people but that is how it is - Wikipedia is not censored. - Sitush (talk) 07:31, 16 May 2017 (UTC)

1. According to Census of India 1891, Rehgar caste was categorised (which is now known as Regar/Raigar) under Class V ARTISANS( page 196) in Group 11 (Salt and Lime workers, page 197) as Rehgar.

Whereas, Chamar Caste is separately mentioned under Class VII ( page 199).

2. According to Census of India 1901, even here Regar/ Rehgar/ Raigar Caste and Chamar /Jatav are seperately mentioned in 1901 Census of India.

For Regar/ Rehgar/ Raigar Caste refer to page 343-344 and for Chamar caste refer to page 320.

3. Similarly, According to Census of India 1911 (page ) and Census of India 1921 (page 158), Raigar/ Regar belongs to Rajputana.

Even here Regar/ Rehgar/ Raigar Caste and Chamar /Jatav are seperately mentioned.

4. In Census of India, 1931, a combined caste list of selected caste was presented.

5. In 1936, The official Scheduled caste (lower caste) list was presented by the Government of India in which there is no mention of Raigar/Regar caste.

Therefore Raigar caste was not a scheduled caste.

Added new citations for Rehgars as saltpetre workers.

I've added some citations of books published around the end of the 19th century that state "Rehgars" as saltpetre works in Rajasthan. The books seem reliable(Google books). It also includes the census report of 1901. Please review. Hopefully the new changes can be kept.

Hello Theroadislong @Theroadislong

Thankyou for replying. This source [1] clearly mention Rehgar(which is now known as Regar) on page 197 under Class V Artisans in Group 11(Salt and Lime workers) as Rehgar.

Whereas , Chamar and Jatav is mentioned in Class VII on page 199. which means both are different group of people and different community and doesn’t belong to each other. Regar (Rehgar) is not related to chamar.

This wrong information is mentioned on article Regar. Rehgar is not an ethnic group of Chamar/Jatav. I am unable to edit article Regar.

please kindly check the above details.

Rehgars are now known as Regar/ Rehgar/Raigar.

Please let me know what more reliable source, I need to present

It would be really helpful Honeysingh1234321 (talk) 17:07, 14

The 1891 census fails WP:RAJ, it is not a reliable source, as explained here - Arjayay (talk) 19:55, 14 October 2023 (UTC)

Hello @Arjayay@Theroadislong

Thankyou for giving your precious time in reviewing my edit.

So according to WP:RAJ fails and is not a reliable resource according to it but

As explained here , Census of India,

In the 1901 Census of India, the category of varna, the four-fold ritual ranking system of Vedic Hinduism, was included in the official classification of caste.

Even here Regar/ Rehgar/ Raigar Caste and Chamar /Jatav are seperately mentioned in 1901 Census of India [2] .

For Regar/ Rehgar/ Raigar Caste refer to page 343-344, 1901 Census of India

For Chamar/Jatav caste refer to page 320 , 1901 Census of India

According to Census of India 1901, Rehgar/Regar/Raigar caste is not a sub group of Chamar/Jatav caste but is itself a separate caste

Even After Independence of India 1947, According to The Census of India 1951,

Regar/Rehgar/Raigar is a separate caste and is not a subgroup of Chamar/Jatav, page 3-4, Estimated Population by Castes, 24, 1951 - Census 1951

Chamar is mentioned separately and Regar/Rehgar/Raigar has been mentioned separately which a evidence to prove they both are different and are not related to each other

Are these a reliable source now to make the changes on the article Regar?

please help me how to edit the article Regar as the information is wrong about a caste on this article. Wating for the reply. Honeysingh1234321 (talk) 08:10, 15 October 2023 (UTC)

@Honeysingh1234321 We need modern sources, not old ones whose foundation was the discredited theory of scientific racism. I am adding suitable material. - Sitush (talk) 12:12, 15 October 2023 (UTC)

Thankyou for taking my point into consideration!

but How come after independence government census sources become old? Instead they are the real evidence to proof that Regar caste is not related to chamar caste.

All caste in India are based upon ancient times.

Regar caste is strictly not associated nor related to chamar caste.

Few people of regar caste due to poverty started working as leather worker due to which they got highlighted as leather worker but it is Wrong information you have added that regars were untouchable dalit.

Basically Regars were Artisans clearly mentioned in the census of India. They are clearly not connected to Chamar caste.

Nor they were Dalits. Dalits are those who were given lower status in the ancient times. Raigars are Artisans.

You can’t call a caste directly untouchable / Dalit.

Please remove these two statements untouchable/ Dalit and chamar from the article as these are not the truth.

please reply 121.46.85.79 (talk) 14:04, 15 October 2023 (UTC)

@Honeysingh1234321 See WP:RS. You are not going to "win" this one.

@Theroadislong@Sitush

here I am citing the modern reliable sources about the Regar caste from a recent book published in 2011.

Regar belonged to Kshatriya mentioned in the book by the Indian Author CHANDANMAL NAVAL

Book publisher, RAJASTHANI GRANTHAGAR, JODHPUR

Book title “रैगर जाति - Regar Caste (History and Culture)”

Please read page 57-59, Regars were kshatriya. They are not untouchables.

Please ready page number 35-38, Regars are not related to Chamar Regars were not Dalit.

The editor of the article Regar mentioned the caste as untouchables according to an anthropologist book writer.

please check the above facts

and do reply

waiting for the reply Honeysingh1234321 (talk) 14:51, 15 October 2023 (UTC)

@Honeysingh1234321 What qualifications does that author have? And what is their connection to the caste, if any? I've never heard of the publisher, which isn't a good start. - Sitush (talk) 14:57, 15 October 2023 (UTC)

Actually, Rajasthani Granthagar Jodhpur sounds like a vanity publisher, judging by the info for authors at their website. See WP:SPS. - Sitush (talk) 15:00, 15 October 2023 (UTC)

@Sitush the author is an old Indian author. Is qualification of the author necessary? If yes then,

here I am citing another modern book published in 2018 on Regar history and origin whose author, P.N. Rachoya is well qualified and has taken a degree in BALLB, LLM, Phd and is highly qualified author.

Book titlte, “रैगर जाति की उत्पत्ति व सम्पूर्ण इतिहास- Origin and Complete History of Regar Caste”

Publisher KIRTI PUBLICATIONS, JAIPUR

it is clearly mentioned even in this book that Regar are kshatriya

Please read page number 43- 48 , here

and also Regar doesn’t relate to any other caste, on page 51-59 , here

I believe these are modern sources according to you to prove the above facts. Honeysingh1234321 (talk) 15:29, 15 October 2023 (UTC)

@Theroadislong@Sitush Please reply Honeysingh1234321 (talk) 15:30, 15 October 2023 (UTC)

@Honeysingh1234321 Kirti Jaipur doesn't even seem to have a website.

I'm sorry but it is obvious from your messages that you are not reading the information given in links - most notably, WP:RS - and that you are here with the sole purpose of wanting to sanskritise a community which is widely accepted actually to be Dalit. I am going to leave a note on your talk page and you really, really should pay attention to it because I will not be responding further to you here. - Sitush (talk) 15:44, 15 October 2023 (UTC)

@Sitush I am sorry but I already have the books with me. I have read both the books thoroughly and the kirti publications is in no more active. The author is highly educated.

I am not trying to sanskitise a community. But as you said you wanted modern sources . You changed the facts according to a book . I gave you the correct facts according to books.

In a country like India wvey author doesn’t go to big publishers.

I gave you the books which are sold all over india.

but I didn’t knew you have some personal grudges against changing the facts which I proved Honeysingh1234321 (talk) 16:08, 15 October 2023 (UTC)

@Theroadislong@Honeysingh1234321@Sitush 121.46.85.79 (talk) 16:45, 15 October 2023 (UTC)

@Honeysingh1234321 No grudges - see WP:NPA. The publisher seems not to be an academic press. I can find no reviews for the book. I can find no academic citing it. I can find nothing that suggests Rach(h)oya is a faculty member anywhere. In fact, the only P N Rachoya I have found is or was In the IPS. I have tried my best to do Hindi searches also.

Even if he was reliable, we wouldn't remove the mentions of Chamar or Dalit from the article because there are a bunch of definitely reliable sources to support them. At best, we would just add that Rachoya disagrees with those numerous people - we have to be neutral but also assign due weight. But this is moot because he seems not in fact to be reliable and I feel like my time is being wasted now. - Sitush (talk) 16:47, 15 October 2023 (UTC)

@Sitush thankyou for considering . Then please just add “ At best, we would just add that Rachoya disagrees with those numerous people

thankyou for Your precious time . Honeysingh1234321 (talk) 17:03, 15 October 2023 (UTC)

@Honeysingh1234321 No, because he isn't reliable! We can't state the opinions of every Tom, Dick or Harriet just because they are in print or on some website, only the different opinions of reliable sources. It doesn't look like even now you have read WP:RS.

What is the true history of the Raigars of Rajasthan? The Raigar community in Rajasthan, India, has a rich history that is closely linked with the Rajputs, who are a major community in the region known for their valor and chivalry. The Raigars are considered to be a sub-caste of the Rajputs. They are believed to be descendants of the Rajput clans and have a history of military service and land ownership.

The Raigars have traditionally been involved in agriculture, landowning, and military service. They have a reputation for bravery and loyalty, traits that are highly valued in Rajasthani society. Many Raigar families have a history of serving in the armed forces of various princely states in Rajasthan.

It is important to note that the history of the Raigars, like many other communities in India, is complex and multifaceted. Different regions and subgroups within the community may have their own unique histories, traditions, and customs. As with any community, the history of the Raigars is shaped by a variety of factors including social, cultural, and political influences over time.

If you are interested in a specific aspect of the history of the Raigars or have a particular question in mind, please feel free to provide more details so I can offer more targeted information.

Reigar (Rahgar ,Regar) cast is famous as verma cast. It is topmost leading cast in india .it is number one in position among all hindu cast .it is rulling over all over the world .it is a cast free socity .It allows both intercast and same cast merriages without any resistance .This cast opposes drowry system.girls sex ratio in verma cast is higher as compare to boys .Boys demand is higher as compare to girls in this cast .This cast is producing famous doctor ,Iitian,actors and actress,businesman and businesswomen .it's bussiness is established in india and abroad successfully .It is very less in population but number one leading cast in india .this cast is already progressive it's not need any kind of reservation .this cast is orignate from rajput cast and higer in position but latter british govt crush this .after long time of struggle this is topmost cast in india .this cast has so much talent they don't need any kind of reservation .

After a lots of research and studying theories, I have found all the facts related to True History of Raigars :-

Raigars are the descendants of ancient Malava Tribe, who had their own republic states in the South of Punjab and North of Rajputana during Mahabharata.

Malava Tribe was originated from Maharaja Rishi Ashwapati of Madra Kingdom, who was a descendant of Lord Rama and hence a Suryavanshi Kshatriya ruler of Madra Kingdom. He had a only daughter named Savitri who was married to Prince Satyavan of Shalva Kingdom. According to Tale of Satyavan Savitri, Savitri granted a boon from Yamaraja (God of Death) she and her father will be blessed with 100 sons. And regarding this, those hundred sons of King Ashwapati named as Malav after their mother's name Malavi. According to genealogy of Madra King, during Mahabharata King Shalya was ruler of Madra Kingdom who was also maternal uncle of Pandavas.

Afterwards, all those warrior princes Malavas settled themselves between the region of doab in Punjab and lived there as a union. They hadn't have any King but a chieftain who was granted a title of Raja/Naresh.

During Mahabharata war, this tribe fought from both the sides of Kauravas and Pandavas. Elephant Ashwatthama, who was killed by Bheemsen, was of Malava chieftain IndraVerma. Many of Malavas were martyred in this war.

Malavas had 100 clans which was originated from 100 Malav Princes, and after the Battle of Hydspes, Malavas along with Kshudrakas (descendants of Kosala king Kshudrak) formed an alliance to face Alexander the great, and with the help of Kathi Kshatriyas, they bravely faced Alexander by which he got injured but they were defeated so they left Punjab region and occupied the region of Eastern Rajputana, at Karkotaka (near Tonk) and then they occupied the region of Ujjain where that place was today also known as Malwa Plateau.

Emperor Vikramaditya, son of Malav King Gandharwasen and grandson of Nabovahana, established monarchial rule who was a member of Parmar/ Panwar clan of Malavas. And the only ruling dynasty from the Malavas was the Parmar dynasty who ruled till 1947.

Malavas along with Kshudrakas who formed a union , resulted in the uprising of 350+ clans of Malavas because union resulted Kshudrakas emerged in the Malava tribe.

Other clans else of Parmar dynasty, who were also Raghuvanshi Kshatriyas from the dynastical roots from Ayodhya and also were descendants of Shri Ram, were named as Raghu tribe which in time to time corrupted to Raghur -> Raigur -> Raigar, they all were known as Raigars today.

But what they had their ancestral occupation of warfare and crop production, they served as as peasants and warrior soldiers in different states of ancient Rajputana who also fought many wars and battles against Turks and Mughals.

During the 1st Shaka and Jauhar of Chittorgarh, when Rawal Ratan Singh was ruler of Mewar, Shri ShivShankar Mandawariya ji, who commanded army of Raigars martyred in that battle and his wife Jajorini (daughter of Udaji Jajoria) committed Sati.

During the battle between Muhammad Ghori and Emperor Prithviraj Chauhan, Shri Gunjal Sunwasiya served and fought from Rajputs side and martyred. His samadhi was placed near the Old Fort till after some times of Independence.

During the battle of Alaniawas, fought between Rajputs under Thakur Kushal Singh of Auwa and Britishers, Sugnoji and Hadmanoji were fought bravely and martyred.

Raigars who besides in the region of Bharatpur, Karauli, Dholpur joined the Jatava movement started by Swami Achhutanand Maharaj, took the title Jatava (also Chamaras) and hence they called as Jatavas or Chamaras.

Else of these Raigars, other Raigars moved with the Parmar chiefs (in Punjab under Baba Bachhittar Singh Panwar, Ranas of Umarkot in Sindh, & Rulers of Muli in Gujarat) to different parts of India.

Many of the Raigars were also granted and awarded with the titles of Raje in Punjab, Lamberdar/Nambardar in Delhi Haryana, Chaudhary in Rajasthan, which was also the titles of Rajputs. So why Raigars were known as Dalits?🤦‍♂️

But only because of Raigars of Eastern Rajputana (Bharatpur Karauli Dholpur region) whole of the Raigar tribe named under the scheduled caste list along with chamaras, bhambi, mochi and others too. Which is so much shameful for this ancient warrior tribe's respect as 6 states of northern India listed Raigars in their SC list.

Edit 1: Raigars are not leather tanners or dalits, they are Kshatriya warriors of Raghuvanshi dynasty.

Once leatherworkers,at the beginning of the 20th century, the British Raj administration imposed restrictions on the indigenous manufacturing of saltpetre which destroyed their livelihood.At least some community members served as bonded labour (begari) during the British Raj era. British and landlords exploited them and force them to work in farms as labour .Raigars are the descendants of ancient Malava Tribe, who had their own republic states in the South of Punjab and North of Rajputana during Mahabharata.

Malava Tribe was originated from Maharaja Rishi Ashwapati of Madra Kingdom, who was a descendant of Lord Rama and hence a Suryavanshi Kshatriya ruler of Madra Kingdom. He had a only daughter named Savitri who was married to Prince Satyavan of Shalva Kingdom. According to Tale of Satyavan Savitri, Savitri granted a boon from Yamaraja (God of Death) she and her father will be blessed with 100 sons. And regarding this, those hundred sons of King Ashwapati named as Malav after their mother's name Malavi. According to genealogy of Madra King, during Mahabharata King Shalya was ruler of Madra Kingdom who was also maternal uncle of Pandavas.

Afterwards, all those warrior princes Malavas settled themselves between the region of doab in Punjab and lived there as a union. They hadn't have any King but a chieftain who was granted a title of Raja/Naresh.

During Mahabharata war, this tribe fought from both the sides of Kauravas and Pandavas. Elephant Ashwatthama, who was killed by Bheemsen, was of Malava chieftain IndraVerma. Many of Malavas were martyred in this war.

Malavas had 100 clans which was originated from 100 Malav Princes, and after the Battle of Hydspes, Malavas along with Kshudrakas (descendants of Kosala king Kshudrak) formed an alliance to face Alexander the great, and with the help of Kathi Kshatriyas, they bravely faced Alexander by which he got injured but they were defeated so they left Punjab region and occupied the region of Eastern Rajputana, at Karkotaka (near Tonk) and then they occupied the region of Ujjain where that place was today also known as Malwa Plateau.

Emperor Vikramaditya, son of Malav King Gandharwasen and grandson of Nabovahana, established monarchial rule who was a member of Parmar/ Panwar clan of Malavas. And the only ruling dynasty from the Malavas was the Parmar dynasty who ruled till 1947.

Malavas along with Kshudrakas who formed a union , resulted in the uprising of 350+ clans of Malavas because union resulted Kshudrakas emerged in the Malava tribe.

Other clans else of Parmar dynasty, who were also Raghuvanshi Kshatriyas from the dynastical roots from Ayodhya and also were descendants of Shri Ram, were named as Raghu tribe which in time to time corrupted to Raghur -> Raigur -> Raigar, they all were known as Raigars today.

But what they had their ancestral occupation of warfare and crop production, they served as as peasants and warrior soldiers in different states of ancient Rajputana who also fought many wars and battles against Turks and Mughals.

During the 1st Shaka and Jauhar of Chittorgarh, when Rawal Ratan Singh was ruler of Mewar, Shri ShivShankar Mandawariya ji, who commanded army of Raigars martyred in that battle and his wife Jajorini (daughter of Udaji Jajoria) committed Sati.

During the battle between Muhammad Ghori and Emperor Prithviraj Chauhan, Shri Gunjal Sunwasiya served and fought from Rajputs side and martyred. His samadhi was placed near the Old Fort till after some times of Independence.

Raigars who besides in the region of Bharatpur, Karauli, Dholpur joined the Jatava movement started by Swami Achhutanand Maharaj, took the title Jatava (also Chamaras) and hence they called as Jatavas or Chamaras.

Else of these Raigars, other Raigars moved with the Parmar chiefs (in Punjab under Baba Bachhittar Singh Panwar, Ranas of Umarkot in Sindh, & Rulers of Muli in Gujarat) to different parts of India.

Many of the Raigars were also granted and awarded with the titles of Raje in Punjab, Lamberdar/Nambardar in Delhi Haryana, Chaudhary in Rajasthan, which was also the titles of Rajputs. So why Raigars were known as Dalits?

I am citing the modern reliable sources about the Regar caste from a recent book published in 2011.Regar belonged to Kshatriya mentioned in the book by the Indian Author CHANDANMAL NAVALBook publisher, RAJASTHANI GRANTHAGAR, JODHPURBook title “रैगर जाति - Regar Caste (History and Culture)”Please read page 57-59, Regars were kshatriya. They are not untouchables.Please ready page number 35-38, Regars are not related to Chamar Regars were not Dalit.The editor of the article Regar mentioned the caste as untouchables according to an anthropologist book writer.

Raigars are not leather tanners or dalits, they are Kshatriya warriors of Raghuvanshi dynasty. 2405:205:1208:D087:0:0:890:20AD (talk) 07:02, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
