The Dhanak (Julaha ) are a community of Pakistan and India, which adopted the profession of weaving.

Etymology[edit]

The term Julaha may derive from the Persian julah (ball of thread).^[2] Other explanation put forth by Julaha themselves include "jal (net), jils (decorated) or uila (lighted up, or white)."

Both Hindu and Muslim Julaha groups exist; a number of the Muslim Julaha later changed their group name to terms such as Ansari (but not all Ansari's are julaha, as only few julaha's changed their title to Ansari).^[3]
