==History and origin==<br />
<br />
The Sunga community claim their descent from [[Parashurama|Parshuram]], the great warrior saint of [[Hindu]] epics. They claim to be ex-[[Brahmin]]s, but were excommunicated, and formed a distinct group. The Sunga claim to be a section of the [[Khandelwal Brahmin]]s. They perceive themselves now to be of the [[Vaishya]] varna.<ref>People of India Rajasthan Volume XXXVIII Part Two edited by B.K Lavania, D. K Samanta, S K Mandal & N.N Vyas pages 935 to 937 Popular Prakashan</ref><br />
<br />
==Present circumstances==<br />
<br />
The Sunga are distributed in the districts of [[Sirohi]], Jalor, [[Jodhpur]], Pali and [[Bikaner]], and speak the [[Marwari language|Marwari]] dialect. They have twenty clans.<ref>People of India Rajasthan Volume XXXVIII Part Two edited by B.K Lavania, D. K Samanta, S K Mandal & N.N Vyas pages 935 to 937 Popular Prakashan</ref><br />
They practice agriculture as subsidiary occupation. Many Sunga have also taken to trading.<ref>People of India Rajasthan Volume XXXVIII Part Two edited by B.K Lavania, D. K Samanta, S K Mandal & N.N Vyas pages 935 to 937 Popular Prakashan</ref><br />
