The Bali are a clan of the Mohyal Brahmin community, who are found in North India, particularly the states of Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab and Delhi (after the partition).
Early history
The Mohyals' were once priests that resided near the ancient river of Saraswati, that used to flow from the Himalayans and down to the Arabian sea.[1] However, during the Vedic Period Bhagwan Parsuram, a famous warrior sage militarised these priests into fierce warriors that would go on to unify the areas of India and defend it from many invasions.[2]
