== Origin ==
The word ''kankali'' is said to be derived from the [[Hindi language|Hindi]] word ''kangal'', meaning a pauper. This is said to refer to the fact that the Kankali were once a community of professional beggars. They are found mainly in the districts of [[Bahraich District|Bahraich]], [[Basti District|Basti]], [[Gorakhpur District|Gorakhpur]] and [[Gonda District|Gonda]]. The Kankali speak [[Awadhi language|Awadhi]] among themselves and [[Hindi language|Hindi]] with outsiders.<ref>People of India Uttar Pradesh Volume XLII Part Two edited by A Hasan & J C Das pages 709 to 713 Manohar Publications</ref>


== Present Circumstances ==
== Demography ==
As of 2009, The village has a total number of 31 houses and a population of 151 of which 73 are males while 78 are females. According to the report [[published]] by [[Census India]] in 2011, out of the total population of the village 0 people are from [[Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes|Schedule Caste]] and 151 are from Schedule Tribes Caste.<ref name="census" />


The Kankali are strictly endogamous and marry close kin. Although they live in multi-caste and multi-religious villages, but occupy their own quarters. However, there is little interaction with neighbouring [[Muslim]] communities such as the [[Muker]] and [[Baghban]]. The Kankali are [[Sunni]], but still follow many folk beliefs.<ref>People of India Uttar Pradesh Volume XLII Part Two edited by A Hasan & J C Das pages 709 to 713 Manohar Publications</ref>

The Kankali are a landless community, and were historically involved in singing and entertaining their patrons. Their patrons belonged mainly to [[caste]] [[Hindu]] communities such as the [[Brahmin]], [[Rajput|Thakur]], [[Kayastha]] and [[Kurmi]], who paid them in the form of uncooked food. Most Kankali are now landless agricultural labourers.
