The Ghasiara are a Khatri Hindu caste found in the states of Punjab and Haryana in India.
[1] The Ghasiara claim to be a branch of the Lodha caste of Awadh, who emigrated to Rawalpindi and Multan in the 19th century.
They were employed in the service of the British colonial administration as domestic gardeners in a number of cantonments.
When the partition of India occurred in 1947, the community left Multan and Rawalpindi, which were now in Pakistan, and settled in Haryana.
In their new settlements in Haryana, many Ghasiara now collect the grass they cut and sell it the Gujar and Ahir communities, who are pastoralists, as fodder.
