			'''Labana''' (also spelled '''Lubana''', '''[[Lavana]]''', '''Lubhana'''; {{lit\|salt trader}}) is a [[merchant]] and [[transportation]] community in India engaged in maritime trade and land trade, which includes trading and transportation of goods such as [[saltpetre]], [[silk]], [[diamonds]], etc. In the [[Punjab]] region, during socio-economic reforms, Labanas overwhelmingly became agriculturists. The Labanas of [[Punjab, India\|Punjab]] and [[Haryana]] are mostly Sikhs and Hindus and mainly speak Punjabi or Hindi.<ref name="Excelsior 2023 x653">{{cite news \| title=Balwinder heads Labana Samaj Sudhar Sabha \| website=[[Daily Excelsior]] \| date=22 March 2023 \| url=https://www.dailyexcelsior.com/balwinder-heads-labana-samaj-sudhar-sabha/ \| access-date=30 July 2023}}</ref>

			==Etymology==
			The term "Lubana" is believed to be a combination of two words - "lūn," meaning "salt," and "bānā," meaning "trade." The Lubanas, as a community, were deeply involved in the transportation and trading of salt. They were also occasionally referred to as Banjaras.<ref>{{cite web\|title=A Conference Of Labana-Banjara-Sikligar And Saltmaker Community - Goar Banjara\|url=https://goarbanjara.com/conference-labana-banjara-sikligar-saltmaker-community/\|access-date=4 July 2021\|language=en-US}}</ref><ref name="Singh 2015 e484">{{cite web \| last=Singh \| first=Jaswant \| title=The Lubanas In The Punjab Social Economic And Political Change 1849-1947 : Jaswant Singh : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive \| website=Internet Archive \| date=9 September 2015 \| url=https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.382667 \| access-date=30 July 2023}}</ref>

	~~{{Multiple issues\|~~		==History==
	~~{{More sources needed\|date~~=~~October 2022}}~~		The history of the Lavana/Labana community traces back to their association with the salt trade and transportation, which influenced their name and occupation. The term 'Lubana' is believed to have derived from the Sanskrit word 'Lavan,' meaning salt. This connection is evident in the various historical references and cultural practices of the tribe.{{Clarify\|reason=The etymology section mentions another word for salt as source of the lubana name\|date=September 2025}}
	~~{{Cleanup rewrite\|date~~=~~July 2021}}~~
	}}		According to [[Kahn Singh Nabha]] in [[Mahan Kosh]], the term 'Lubana' is linked to the Sanskrit word 'Lavan,' signifying salt. Members of the Lubana tribe engaged in salt trading, suggesting that their name is closely related to their traditional business activities.<ref>{{cite book \|last=Singh \|first=Kahan \|title=Ourushabad Ratnakar Mahan Kosh \|publisher=Punjab Languages Department, Patiala \|year=1960 \|url=http://old.sgpc.net/CDN/Mahankosh.pdf \|page=793}}</ref>
	~~[[File:Portrait of three unidentified people~~ of the Labana ~~tribe of Lahore~~, ca.~~1862–72~~.~~png\|thumb\|Portrait of three unidentified people~~ of the ~~Labana~~ tribe ~~of Lahore, ca~~.~~1862–72]]~~
	{{~~Use dmy dates~~\|date=September ~~2020~~}}		The connection between the Lubana tribe and salt-carrying is further supported by the work of Crooke. In his book Tribes and Castes of the North-Western India, Volume I, which was reprinted by Cosmo Publications in Delhi in 1974, he mentions that the Lubana tribe of Banjaras derived their name from their business of transporting salt.<ref>{{cite book \|last=Crooke \|first=William \|title=Tribes and Castes of the North-Western India, Vol I \|publisher=Cosmo Publications, Delhi \|year=1974 \|page=159}}</ref>
	~~'''Lubana''' (also spelled '''Lubana''', '''Labana''', '''~~[[~~Lavana~~]]''', '~~''Lubhana''';~~ {{~~lit~~\|~~salt trader~~}}) is ~~a [[merchant]]~~ and ~~[[transportation]] community~~ in ~~India engaged~~ in ~~maritime trade and land trade which includes trading~~ and ~~transportation~~ of ~~goods like [[saltpetre]]~~, ~~[[silk]]~~, ~~[[diamonds]]~~, ~~etc~~. ~~In the [[Punjab]] region, during socio~~-~~economic reforms, Labanas overwhelmingly became agriculturists~~. ~~The Labanas of [[Punjab~~, ~~India~~\|~~Punjab]]~~ and ~~[[Haryana]] are mostly Sikhs~~ and ~~Hindus~~ and ~~speak mainly Punjabi or Hindi~~.
			Additionally, Gurcharan Singh highlights the popularity of a game called 'lun - Miani' among the Lubanas until 1947 AD. This game likely originated from their historical association with salt-carrying as it reflects their occupation in its name and nature.<ref>{{cite book \|last=Singh \|first=Gurcharan \|title=Makhan Shah Lobana \|publisher=Sujlana Publishers, Jullundur \|year=1975 \|page=199}}</ref>

			Over the centuries, the Lubana community has evolved and diversified, engaging in various other professions and adapting to changing times. However, the historical connection to the salt trade remains an essential aspect of their identity and heritage.

	~~==Etymology==~~		The Labanas were a salt-carrying and salt-trading community in Punjab. Over time, they transitioned from their merchant work and shifted towards agriculture as their primary profession, becoming a landholding community since the times of [[Maharaja Ranjit Singh]]. Some Labanas claim that they are Gaur Brahmins who migrated to Punjab during the reign of Aurangzeb.<ref>{{Cite book \|last=Dass \|first=Arvind \|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=VAhuAAAAMAAJ&q=gaur+brahmin+delhi \|title=Caste System: Caste commentaries and documentation \|date=2002 \|publisher=Dominant Publishers and Distributors \|isbn=978-81-7888-029-7 \|language=en}}</ref> The Labanas perform religious events with their own rituals.<ref name="Team 2022 h122">{{cite web \| title=कुशलगढ़: लबाना समाज का धार्मिक आयोजन, 43 डिग्री तापमान पर सिर पर कलश लेकर निकली महिलाएं \|trans-title = Kushalgarh: Religious event of Labana Samaj, women came out with urns on their head at 43 degree temperature \| website=[[Zee News]] \| date=16 April 2022 \| url=https://zeenews.india.com/hindi/india/rajasthan/banswara/religious-event-of-labana-society-women-came-out-with-an-urn-on-their-head-at-43-degree-temperature/1154440 \| language=hi \| access-date=30 July 2023}}</ref>
