- Chaudhari tribe
-
The Chaudhari are a scheduled tribe found in the south Gujarat in India.[1]
People of this community primarily live in the region from Vapi Navsari to Bharuch-Ankleshwar. On 2nd October, 2007, a new district Tapi was created by Contemporary Chief Minister Mr. Narendra Modi. This region includes city/villages like Vyara, Songadh, Valod, Ucchal, Nirzar. These incidentally also happen to be the places where many of the Chaudhari live. While earlier, these were a farming community, many people sought employment in government sectors after the independence of India. The younger generation now has further diversified to find employment in government as well as private sectors. Some are now competitive enough to prove themselves in this competitive world. Many however are yet to find their niche, skills and confidence to break the barriers and seek to move with the modern global India.
These people are predominantly Christian and Hindus. Among the Hindu, a large number of these people believe in Sat Kaival Gyan Panth.See also
