Between the 15th and 17th centuries, '''72 clan''' branches of the Panwars migrated from [[Malwa]] to the [[Satpura]] and [[Vidarbha]] regions. They are currently concentrated mainly in the [[Betul district|Betul]], [[Chhindwara district|Chhindwara]] and [[Wardha district|Wardha]] regions of central India.<ref>{{cite book|title=The Tribes and Castes of the Central Provinces of India|url=https://books.google.co.in/books?id=MH9nDwAAQBAJ&pg=PT481&dq=Bhoyar&hl=en&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&source=gb_mobile_search&ovdme=1&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjhgaD2oYqCAxUzxTgGHQbsDS44FBDoAXoECAMQAw#v=onepage&q=Bhoyar&f=false|date=2018|author=Robert Vane Russell|quote=Bhoyars are principally residing in [[Betul, Madhya Pradesh|Betul]], [[Chhindwara]] and [[Wardha]] districts.

These Panwars even today speak a corrupted form of [[Malvi]] dialect of Rajputana, which is called [[Bhoyari]]/[[Bhoyari|Pawari]] after their name.<ref>{{Cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=MPw_AAAAIAAJ&q=%E0%A4%AD%E0%A5%8B%E0%A4%AF%E0%A4%B0%E0%A5%80|language=English|title=Mālavī aura usakā sāhitya|page=25 |publisher=Sarasvatī Sahakāra kī Ora se prakāśaka Rājakamala Prakāśana }}</ref> | |||
Due to the geographical conditions and economic constraints of that time, all these Panwars forgot their original customs and values in order to support their families. Over the years they have gradually abandoned most of their [[Rajput]] customs and traditions. At present, their customs and rituals are somewhat similar to those of the [[Marathas]], [[Kunbi]] and [[Brahmins]] of [[Maharashtra]]. According to Maharashtra Gazette and Census, Pawars/Bhoyars are mostly [[agriculturists]]. | |||
They have a national level organization named '''Rashtriya Panwar Kshatriya Mahasabha'''. In this union [[Parmar]], [[Pawar]], [[Powar]], '''Bhoyar Pawar''' branches work together. This organization works on the all-round development of Parmar/Pawar/Powar/Bhoyar Pawar community.<ref>{{cite book|last=Singh|first=K.S. |author-link=Kumar Suresh Singh |date=1998|title= India's Communities Volume 4|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Jw9uAAAAMAAJ&q=Bhoyar|publisher=Anthropological Survey of India |pages=460, 461, 462, 463|language=English|quote=They have a national level association named '''Rashtriya Panwar Kshatriya Mahasabha .|isbn=0195633547}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last=Singh|first=K.S.|author-link=Kumar Suresh Singh|title=Maharashtra |date=2004 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=OmBjoAFMfjoC&dq=bhoyar+pawar&pg=PA355|page=355,356,358,359|publisher=Popular Prakashan |isbn=9788179911006 |language=English|quote=They have a national level association named '''Rastriya Panwar Kshatriya Mahasabha'''.}}</ref> | |||
