==Origin and present circumstances==

The Rathodia are sub-division of the [[Dubla]] tribe. They are found mainly in the districts of [[Surat]] and [[Baroda]]. They speak [[Gujarati language|Gujarati]] and [[Hindi]]. The Rathodia are strictly endogamous, but no system of exogamous clans. Most of the Rathodia are landless and work as agricultural labourers. There are only a few small and marginal farmers. Many are victims of bonded labour, and while others collect firewood to supplement their income. They are economically and educationally extremely backward. The Rathodia are [[Hindu]], and their main deities are Naganjimata, Balija maharaj and [[Ganesh]].<ref>People of India Gujarat Volume XXI Part Three edited by R.B Lal, P.B.S.V Padmanabham, G Krishnan & M Azeez Mohideen pages 1190-1193</ref>
