Dhanka
The Dhanka are an ancient tribe also known asVargi Rajput . They were historically Warriors and were also called bow men (Dhanush - bow).Their occupations have changed over time, however since ancient times they used to work for a State king as warriors, soldiers and forest hunters. Sometimes they used to work on Bamboo furniture etc., as circumstances have dictated for survival. Although similar groups in India are often referred to as adivasi Rajput, the Dhanka generally reject this term. Anthropologist Megan Moodie says that their history and culture is poorly documented and that what does exist "tend[s] to be brief and stress their 'insignificance' and lowness". She notes that they are a sub tribe of Bhils and today found throughout much of western Indian and that there has been much official confusion regarding their identity, which has tended to impact on their position as a Scheduled Tribe (ST) entitled to various positive discrimination benefits. Much of that confusion centres around various names that have been posited as synonyms for Dhanka, including varghi Rajput, Dhanak Rajput, Dhankia, kshtriya Rajwada, bhil and Valvi.The 2001 Census of India recorded the Dhanka in the state of Rajasthan as one of the 30 STs which did not form part of the Bhil, Mina and Bhil Mina tribes. Those latter communities accounted for 93 per cent of the ST population at that time, whilst the combined population of the Dhanka, Tadvi, Tetaria and Valvi, which was recorded as being one community, comprised 77,047 people.
