Dhakar

The Dhakar are a community in India and are today considered by anthropologists to be a non-elite group.[1] In the state of Chhattisgarh they have been designated since at least 2007 as an Other Backward Class in the Indian system designed to aid positive discrimination.[2] They have been similarly classified in Madhya Pradesh[3] and in Rajasthan[4] since at least the 1990s.
