SITA RAM NAYAK DAGLA (talk) 07:36, 13 March 2024 (UTC) The Nayaks are a Hindu caste found in India and Pakistan. They mainly follow Hindu religion. According to Shah, the hero belongs to the Bhil tribal caste. It is well known that this is a large sub-caste of the Bhil tribe, the Bhils who were close to the ruling class of India, which established a special identity and status in their tribe due to getting posts like Nayak and Sena Nayak in the army. Gradually, this class established matrimonial relations outside their tribe and Rajputs and Kshatriya people, including those who held the post of Nayak and Sena Nayak in the army, became related to this class. Parallel to their tribe, this class had its own distinct presence all over India. Maintains identity and considers himself a warrior and superior class of Bhils. In Rajasthan, this subcaste is included in both Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes and in Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Himalayan region, it is included in Other Backward Classes.
