Ghamalia are a Hindu Kurmi Peasant Community associated with Agriculture (Krishi Karmi Jāti) in India.[1] Kurmis of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh are divided into different subcastes e.g. Awadhiya, Samaswar, Ghamalia, Konchasia, Joshwar, Sindriya, etc.[2]

Kudmis from Chotanagpur have migrated somewhere from Central India where they have their original relative Kunbis.[3]
