Baoris are Hindus of Rajput stock and appear to have come
originally from Gujrat. They are now to be found nearly all over
India. They are known by a large variety of names which had been
given them by the inhabitants of the territories they have settled
in so that it is not uncommon to find colonies of the same tribe in
close proximity going under entirely different names. They all
have a common origin, belong to the same tribe, speak the same lan-
guage—a corrupt form of Gujrati,—inter-marry, and on occasions
associate for criminal purposes. The name they know themselves
by is " Baori ".
The following is the list of names by which they are known in
the parts of the country where they reside
