The '''Chhaparband''' are a Muslim community found in the states of [[Karnataka]] and [[Maharashtra]] in India. They are Muslim converts from the [[Hindu]] [[Chhaparband]] community.<ref>People of India Maharshtra Volume XXX Part One edited by B.V Bhanu, B.R Bhatnagar, D.K Bose, V.S Kulkarni and J Sreenath pages 408-419</ref>

==Origin==
The Chhaparband are a community that were historically connected with thatching of roofs, an occupation no longer practiced. In [[Hindi language|Hindi]], the word ''chhapar'' means roof and the Persian suffix ''band'' means binder and maker. They claim to have been [[Rajput]] soldiers in the armies of the [[Mughal Empire]], as said to have originated from [[Kathiawar]] and [[Rajasthan]]. Their conversion to Islam is said to have occurred at the hands a [[Sufi]] saint Pir Bhai Phir Makhan. The Chhaparband speak the [[Dakhani]] dialect of [[Urdu]], and are entirely [[Sunni]] Muslim. They are found mainly in north west [[Karnataka]], mainly in the districts of [[Bijapur district, Karnataka|Bijapur]], [[Dharwad District|Dharwad]] and [[Belgaum District|Belgaum]] and the districts of [[Kolhapur]] and [[Sholapur]] in [[Maharashtra]].<ref name="ReferenceA">Marginal Muslim Communities in India edited by M.K Siddiqui pages 510-513</ref>

==Present circumstances==

The Chhaparband are largely a landless community, with many employed as agricultural labourers or urban daily wage labourers. Apart from this, a significant number are now employed as truck drivers, carpenters, masons, fruit sellers and shop owners. Like other Muslim communities in the [[Deccan Plateau|Deccan]], they have a [[caste]] association, the Chhaparband Jamat. Each of their settlement also has an informal communal association known as a panchayat, which acts as an instrument of social control.<ref name="ReferenceA"/>

The community is strictly endogamous, and marry close kin. They are divided into a number of clans, the main ones being the Bade bhai, Nane bhai, Cheghande and Baraghande. Each of these clans are of equal status, and intermarry.{{cn|date=February 2012}}
