Ahir Boricha

The Boricha are a gotra of the Ahir caste found in the state of Gujarat in India.[1]

Origin

The Boricha get their name from the Boricha region of Kutch, which was their original homeland, from where they emigrated to Jamnagar District due to a drought.[2] According to other traditions, the word Boricha means those who are of value.[2] The community are now found in the Jhodia taluka of Jamnagar District, Kutch District, Morvi in Rajkot District and Junagadh District. They are one of the four sub-groups of the Ahir community found in Gujarat. The community still speak the Kutchi language.[1]

The Boricha are Hindu, and worship Hindu gods and goddesses such as Ram, Shankar, Ganesh, Krishna and Lakhshmi.[1]

gollark: - Signed disks are autorunned upon being inserted- Lua code sent over the potatOS command websocket is executed with privileged access- The autoupdater can autoupdate to anything (*is* this a backdoor?)
gollark: It performs no useful function but is very hard to remove (without *CHEATING* by putting it in another computer's disk drive), contains lovely backdoors, has useless bundled software, and autoupdates, even to broken versions.In short, it's Windows, which seems to be quite popular.
