+The '''Kirar''' is a [[Hindus|Hindu]] agricultural caste whose traditional occupation is cultivation. They originated in Kiserkot  of [[Jaisalmer]] and migrated to different parts of India. Singh noted that, they were a similar group like [[Kol people|Kol]] and [[Bhil people|Bhil]], and lived a hunter-gatherer lifestyle. Now they have settled down in different areas where [[agriculture]] is their main occupation. Kirar has three subgroups: Karod, Dhakad and Dharod Kirar. In local caste hierarchy they come next to Brahmin, Jain and Rajput. They accept food from the upper caste but the upper castes do not accept food from Kirar. The Kirar are educationally backward. In 1966, the All India Kirar Samaj Sangh was established. The organization promotes community members' financial well-being and benefits. They have submitted a memorandum requesting that they be added to  the list of [[Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes|Scheduled Castes]].<ref>K.S Singh(1998).
