निखर
Nikhar (Sanskrit: Pure; Pali: Fair & Bright) is a sub-caste within the Gadaria community, traditionally associated with cattle and sheep herding. The Nikhars trace their lineage to the Chandravanshi Kshatriyas and are considered part of the illustrious 36 warrior clans of the Rajputs. Historically, they were recognized as Rajputs in the British colonial census and the last caste census of India. Numerous Pal kingdoms and rulers have ruled India in History. However, after India's independence, the Nikhar sub-caste was integrated into the semi-nomadic Gadaria community.
