Shenva

The Shenva are a Hindu scheduled caste found in the state of Gujarat in India.

There are also other traditions which refer to the Shenva being descended from Rajputs who fled into the forests fleeing Muslim invaders.

They are found throughout Gujarat, with their main concentrations are in the districts of morbi, Mehsana, Ahmedabad, Sabarkantha, Kaira, Rajkot, and Jamnagar.

Their main clans are the Vatukia, Gangadia, Morakia, Zalia, Vaghela, Solanki, Makwana, Parmar, Chauhan, savariya and Rathore.

Like other scheduled caste communities, they suffer from social and economic disabilities.
