Boria (caste)

[2] The Pasi are endogamous and in their native places in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar their sub-groups are also endogamous but here in Nagpur only three, namely, the Baurasi, Kaithwas, and Gujar sub-groups are found, who have migrated from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar.

The sub-castes were endogamous initially, but later on due to non-availability of suitable spouses in their own sub-caste locally and the involvement of big expenditure in bringing a wife from the native place, the three sub-groups have started inter-marrying with each other.

[3] The Boria are a strictly endogamous community, and prefer marrying close kin.

Historically, the community were mainly tenant farmers, working on land owned by Rajputs and Banias.

The panchayat acts as an instrument of social control, dealing with issues such as divorce and adultery.
