This article is about labana's or lubana's. labana's and sikligar are too different casts —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.125.232.103 (talk) 22:35, 10 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As mentioned by the last contributor, Sikligar caste has no relation what so ever with the Labana caste. Labanas is a punjabi caste/community and are mostly from western Punjab and were traders before they turned into landowners farmers. Sikligars are 'Bhathra' Sikhs from the south India (differnt country altogether). Bhathra sikhs used to make weapons for Guru ji's army by recycling scrap. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.0.14.8 (talk) 03:22, 10 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Labana History[edit]

Few authors who hold the project is not allowing to put content. So for information adding same into comments over here:

  • Lubanas are offshot of Ikshwakus of Ramayana fame as well as Audumbaras or Damars.[1] The lubanas have 11 Gotras and are mostly agricultural.[2][3] In 1891 Census, they were categorized under Rajputs and are descendents of Suryavanshi and Chandarvanshi Kashatriyas.
  • In Ludhiana and Jhang districts, the Lobanas claimed to be the descendants of Chauhan Rajputs of Jaipur and Jodhpur.[1] In Gujarat district, they claimed to be Raghu vanshi Rajputs.[1] The Lobanas of Kangra and Hoshiarpur districts claimed their origin from the Gaur Brahmins of Pilibhit. A good number of them traced their origin from Gaur Brahmins who came to the Panjab from Ranthambore in Aurangzeb's time.[2][3]. Labanas are said to have nomadic roots but are not related to the Lambada or Labada tribe of Andhra. There are some who believe that they are of the same stock as the Gypsies or Roma people of Europe.[citation needed]
  • Wherever the Labanas settled they named their villages as Tandas. Tanda in Labanki dialect means a travelling body encampment. In Kangra district, the Lobanas had four hamlets, each called Tanda. These are also called Bahrupia, on account of their versatility in adopting many professions.
  • Guru Nanak met many Lobana Traders during his journey and guided the path of truth. In an account of Bhai Bala Janamsakhi, During North Udasi, Nanak met a trader of Salt and guided him to be lowly.[4] Following are some famous names in Sikh History: First Sikh Labana recorded in Sikh History was Bhai Mansukh, who came in contact with Guru Nanak, accepted the Sikh thought and preached it around South India and Sri Lanka region.[5][6] Bhai Mansukh told King Shivnabh about Guru Nanak.[7]
  • In 1881, population of labanas was 48489 out of them 69% were hindus, 25% were sikhs and 3% were muslims, the population was rose to 56316 in 1921 in which sikh population rose to 77%, hindu labanas to 15% and muslim lobanas to 7%.[8] In this era, maximum percentage of HIndu labanas were converted to Sikhs, under Singh Sabha Lehar. In Punjab, Labanas started leaving merchant work and shifted to agriculture profession which turns them to landholding community.
  • The Labana Gotra names are derived from places, profession, ritual and prominent personalities; for example,name="jaswant">Dr Jaswant Singh,Panjab di Lubana Bradri,(1849-1947)</ref> — Preceding unsigned comment added by To.harpreet (talkcontribs) 02:58, 6 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

History

According to British records 33% of the Labana were baptised Sikhs and were found primarily in the Lahore, Gujranwala, and Sialkot areas. The Labanas (along with many other groups) saw the highest conversions into Sikhism during 1881 1891.

According to George Armand Furse, “The Jat and Lobana castes of Sikhs possess in a high degree the useful knowledge of the lading and care of beasts of burden”.

The name Laban may refer to the transport of salt. “The term Labana appears to be derived out from loon (salt) and bana means trade, and the lubana, Lobana or libana was doubtless the great salt-carrying and salt trading caste”.

Acc. to Gurmat Parkash, Magazine by SGPC, Lobana also means who wear Iron Dress, i.e dress of Military person. They mentioned Lobana were Military persons who served in Guru’s army.

These are also called Bahrupia, on account of their versatility in adopting many professions.

Labanki, the dialect of Labanas, is a mixture of Marwari, Saraiki, Gujarati, and Marathi.

Role in Sikh History[edit]

After Guru Harkrishan, the eighth Guru of Sikhism, died in 1664, there was confusion about the identification of his successor. According to Sikh legends, Makhan Shah, a great merchant of the Labana tribe, identified Guru Teg Bahadur as the successor of Guru Harkrishan. Makhan Shah was very helpful to Guru Teg Bahadur during his pontificate. The Labanas participated in battles fought by the tenth Guru.

During the Misl period , the Labanas joined the services of various “Misldars”.

During the eighteenth century the Labanas began to follow a settled way of life. The Labanas of Lower Indus, Gujranwala and Jhang, settled as cultivators during Sikh rule.

Wherever the Labanas settled they named their villages as Tandas. Tanda in Labanki dialect means a travelling body encampment. In Kangra district, the Lobanas had four hamlets, each called Tanda. By the mid-nineteenth century, the Lobanas at some places owned not only parts of villages, but also entire villages and even groups of villages. They were chiefly found in the Punjab during the Sikh rule.

Labanas were listed as a martial race by the British.

Labanas are said to have nomadic roots but are not related to the Lambada or Labada tribe of Andhra. There are some who believe that they are of the same stock as the Gypsies or Roma people of Europe. Labanas have been linked with Gypsies from Turkey. The words Labana (salt trader) / Labneh (strained yogurt) is derived from Laban (white). Labanas migrated from the Middle East to South Asia but the name Laban was lost in translation.

Labanas today Today Labana is a landholding-rich community of Punjab. A large number of Labanas are settled abroad in western countries. The people are hard-working and uplifted the community again to its pride, which was in crisis during the early years of partition. Most Sikh Labanas are of western Punjab origin (now in Pakistan) and are called Panahi, while a smaller ratio are of East Punjab origin and are called Jaddi. 124.253.109.59 (talk) 20:51, 2 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You are title doesnt even make sense.Dont only say in reference to Punjab.In other states Labanas are with Banjaras only. Synonymous to Banjara.Once go and check every reservation castes list of each state. In Rajasthan both are synonymous to each other In other states too I don't know about Punjab. Even President of Akhil Bharathiya Labana Samaj also admits that we both are related to each other. Sudeep JS (talk) 02:49, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Banjaras were traditionally suppliers of bullock and salt merchants. The word Banjara is said to be derived from Sanskrit word vana chara (wanderers in jungle). The word Lambani or Lamani is derived from the Sanskrit word lavana (salt), which was the principal product they transported across the country.

Banjara is a biggest ethnic tribal group of India, but it is not a caste as conventionally construed. It does not fall in any “Manusmrutis Chaturna Varnas.” The name of Banjara has derived to them from Sanskrit word of Banaj / Vanijya (Trading), because of their main and age old vocation (prior to British Trade and Raj) of transportation of food grains and other commodities, the name Banjara is attached to them. In some regions and during certain periods of different rulers of the country, Banjaras are also known as Lamans / Labans / Lamanis as they were transporting Lavan (salt) and therefore the derogatory forms are attached to them as Laban / Laman, etc., in local languages of Deccan India termed as Lamani / Lambadi / Lambada / Labans / Lobhanas, etc.

Bajaras / Labans as per the vocations they took up and also the influence of the languages of in different regions, states and linguistic areas of the country where they made their homes. The tabulated list (B) are names of 12 sub-castes came to Banjaras / Labans as sub group/castes as per the profession taken by different group amongst themselves, to serve Banjara / Laban as the main community, to meet the community’s requirements / paraphernalias during their traditional movement of Tandas (camps / caravans) for the vocations of transportation on pack bullocks, mules and camels prior to British Trade and Raj. But throughout the country, they are predominantly, popularly known and are identified by main names as “BANJARA” OR “LAMBANIS / LOBANS”. The derogatory form of cinematised versions of Banjaras / Gypsies; OR Poetic, Romantic and Literary forms / versions of Banjaras are misleading and are not the correct connotation connected to Banjara community. These are not true forms OR real, authentic forms and characters of Banjaras. Sudeep JS (talk) 13:35, 18 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with you many people especially from North India are just misleading image of Banjaras. By calling them Gypsies of India. But why are u removing Banjara word ?.Banjara is community not caste. We all belong to same community and I am Lambani and my ancestors were salt traders. In maternal side My Grandfather was Naik of 12 Tandas. I know we 12 main groups there within broad Banjara community- Gor, Charan, Labana, Mathuriya, Ranagdiya, Jangadiya, Dharmpat. Our ancestors were closed to each other like Lakhishah Banjara and Makhan Shah Lobana had both Family and Business relationship. We are from different origin but intermixed over time. In Maharashtra we too have good status like u guys in Punjab. We had 2 Chief Minister from our community who ruled more than 14 years in richest state of India that to be we are in OBC in Maharashtra. In Haryana it we both are united so we finally got attention by CM . Like some synonymous of our community is in OBC and some are in SC. Sudeep JS (talk) 18:04, 28 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Etymology should remove current writing and replaced with below: The origin of the word, 'Luvana' is that it has originated from the Sanskrit means linage of luva(son of god Ram). One more accepted etymology is Lobana also means who wear Iron Dress, i.e. dress of Military person, derived from Loh & Bana. They mentioned Lobana were Military persons who were Kashatriya rajputs they also served in Guru's army from sixth guru sahib till the end of sikh empire and played major role in fight against Mughal samraj and corrupt hindu kings.
