Nayak (caste)

Not to be confused with Nayak (title).

The Nayak are a Hindu caste; also some Nayak are Punjabi found in India and Pakistan. Mainly Nayak follows Hindu.[1] According to Vinay Krishin Gidwani, the Nayaks claim that they were, historically, Brahmins.[2]

Demographics and occupation

The Nayaks reside in Haryana,[3] Punjab, Rajasthan and West Bengal.[4] They also live in Khammam district and West Godavari district in Andhra Pradesh[5] and in a number of villages near Ahmedabad in Gujarat.[1] According to Kathryn Hansen, the main occupation of Gujarati Nayaks had been "singing, dancing and acting in plays".[1]

Present circumstances

The Nayak caste is classified as a Scheduled Caste in Gujarat and Rajasthan states of India.[2][6]
