Many members of Nanbai community have migrated to Pakistan after independence and have settled in [[Karachi]], [[Sindh]].<br /> <br /> ==History and origin==<br /> They specialise in baking fermented loaves, and are known to be experts in preparing [[tandoori]] breads, known as naans. This special type of baked bread is referred to as a Nan. The word Nanbai is from [[Persian language|Persian]] نانوا Nānvā, meaning baker. The community is said to have evolved from the families of the cooks at the courts of the various Muslim rulers of [[North India]].<br /> <br /> ==Present circumstances==<br /> The Nanbai specialize in cooking and baking. Many are also involved in the running of tea stalls, while some have taken to [[Pulled rickshaw|rickshaw]] pulling, an activity in which a good number of Muslim artisan communities are now involved.<br /> <br /> The Nanbai are an endogamous community, but have no system of [[gotra]]s. They perceive themselves to be forming part of the [[Shaikhs in South Asia|Shaikh]] community. The Nanbai are Muslims of the [[Sunni]] sect. They are found mainly in the districts of [[Lukhnow]], [[Faizabad]], [[Barabanki city|Barabanki]], [[Kanpur]], [[Aligarh]] and [[Moradabad]], mainly found in urban areas. They speak [[Urdu]] and [[Hindi]].<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> * [[Hajjam]]<br /> * [[Manihar]]<br /> * [[Saifi]]<br /> * [[Muslim Halwai]]<br /> * [[Muslim Raibhat]]<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> {{reflist}}<br /> {{Indian Muslim}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Social groups of Uttar Pradesh]]<br /> [[Category:Muslim communities of India]]<br /> [[Category:Shaikh clans]]<br /> [[Category:Social groups of Pakistan]]<br /> [[Category:Muslim communities of Uttar Pradesh]]</div>
