This article was written in 1916 when conditions were different. Even in<br/>1916 its contents related only to Central India and did not claim to be true <br />of all of India. It has been archived for its historical value as well as for<br/>the insights it gives into British colonial writing about the various communities<br/>of India. Indpaedia neither agrees nor disagrees with the contents of this <br/> article. Readers who wish to add fresh information can create a Part II of this <br/> article. The general rule is that if we have nothing nice to say about <br/> communities other than our own it is best to say nothing at all. <br/>

Readers will be able to edit existing articles and post new articles directly <br/> on their online archival encyclopædia only after its formal launch.

=Rajput: Baksaria=

A small clan found principally in
the Bilaspur District, who derive their name from Baxar in
Bengal. They were accustomed to send a litter, that is to
say, a girl of their clan, to the harem of each Mughal
Emperor, and this has degraded them. They allow widowII

marriage, and do not wear the sacred thread.

It is probable
that they marry among themselves, as other Rajputs
do not intermarry with them, and they are no doubt an
impure group with little pretension to be Rajputs. The
name Baksaria is found in the United Provinces as a
territorial subcaste of several castes.
