A few Raj Gond are also found in the state of [[Madhya Pradesh]]. They are also known as the Dao Muslim Jamat. The community are [[Muslim]] converts from the [[Gondi people|Gond]] community. The Ruling Class among the Gond were known as Raj gonds.<br /> <br /> ==History and origin==<br /> <br /> The Dao Jamat are drawn from the largest tribal grouping in [[India]], the [[Gondi people|Gond]] Ethnic Group. They are descended from the family and close kinsmen of Rajgond who converted to [[Islam]] about three hundred years ago. The community descend from Raja Bhagtu Shah, the ruler of the state of [[Devgarh, Maharashtra|Deogarh]], who converted to [[Islam]]. He took the [[Muslim]] name Shaikh Bakht Buland Goindi. The principality was taken over by the [[Bhonsle]] [[Maratha]]s in the 18th Century.&lt;ref&gt;Marginal Muslim Communities in India edited by M.K.A Siddiqui pages 15 to 25 Institute of Objective Studies&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Present circumstances==<br /> <br /> The Muslim Raj Gond are found mainly in the city of [[Nagpur]], living mainly in the Dao Mandi area. In addition, they are also found in the village Matkajheri in [[Nagpur District]]. They are also found in the districts of [[Hoshangabad]], [[Betul district|Betul]], Balaghat, Seoni, and [[Raisen]].<br /> The community is endogamous, although there are cases of marriage with the [[Mughal (tribe)|Mughal]], [[Shaikhs in South Asia|Shaikh]] and [[Momin Ansari]] communities. They are now called Mughal Goindis or Shaikh Goindis. They have also given up the historic practice of clan exogamy. Like other [[Muslim]] communities in [[Maharashtra]], they have come under the influence of the [[Tableeghi Jamat]]. There has also been a movement towards adoption of [[Urdu]], and the use of the [[Gondi language]] has almost disappeared.<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> * [[Tadvi Bhil]]s<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> <br /> {{reflist}}<br /> {{Indian Muslim}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Social groups of Maharashtra]]<br /> [[Category:Muslim communities of India]]<br /> [[Category:Scheduled Tribes of India]]<br /> [[Category:Social groups of Madhya Pradesh]]<br /> [[Category:Muslim communities of Maharashtra]]</div>
