We are higher people! We don't need from Brahmins to be published article on our history! Ds324658 (talk) 16:52, 15 April 2018 (UTC)

This is totally False information--- The traditional occupation of the Ghirths is agriculture. At the beginning of the 20th century, they were the dominant low-caste cultivators and marginal landholders in the Himachal region.[2] Since they were considered as a 'clean' (not untouchable) low caste, they were employed as domestic servants by the higher castes: their 'clean' status allowed them to perform tasks such as fetching water or cleaning cooking utensils, which the untouchable servants were not allowed to do.[3] Nevertheless, the Rajputs, who were the dominant landholding caste of the region, had imposed social restrictons on them. Around 1926, the Ghirths started a movement to achieve upward social mobility, and started opposing these restrictions.[2] They refused menial work, creating difficulties for the higher castes that earlier employed them as servants.

The Ghirth (also known as Ghirath, Ghrit or Chowdhary) is a Hindu agricultural Indian caste found in the state of Himachal Pradesh in North India.[1]

Contents 1	History 2	Related groups 3	References 3.1	Bibliography History According to a legend, the Ghirths are so called because the Hindu god Shiva made them out of ghee (ghrita in Sanskrit). This etymology is reflective of the community's traditional occupation of animal husbandry and agriculture. However, some members of the community trace their ancestry to a sage called Ghrit Rishi, and claim connections to the legendary Kauravas mentioned in the Mahabharata. The community also claims descent from the Rajput Kshatriyas.[1]

At the beginning of the 20th century, the Ghirths were the dominant cultivators and marginal landholders in the Himachal region.

Related groups British colonial administrator Denzil Ibbetson, in his Panjab Castes (1916), considers Ghirth same as the people that are known as Chahang (or Chang) and Bahti in the eastern and western portion of the lower Himalayan range respectively.[4] The Anthropological Survey of India's People of India series (1996) describes Chahang and Bahti as sub-groups of the Ghirths.[1]

The Ghirth, including the Chahang and Bahti, are classified among the Other Backward Classes by the government of India.[5] The Ghirth, Chahang, Bahti Mahasabha, established in 1932, represents the interests of these three communities.[6] 2409:4055:514:171:B579:A8AF:14DE:2BEC (talk) 10:13, 25 December 2019 (UTC)

their is no mention of stating ghirth as LOW CASTE ,otherwise an lawsuit has to be filed against Wikipedia for defaming and hurting the rights of the Ghirth Caste people.
