ABOUT KUSHWAHA SAMAJ

The Kushwaha community, also known as Kushvaha, primarily resides in the Indo-Gangetic Plain and has historically been associated with agricultural practices, including beekeeping. This community encompasses various sub-castes such as the Kachhis, Kachhvahas, Koeris, and Muraos. Within the Indian governmental framework of positive discrimination, Kushwahas are designated as a "Backward" or Other Backward Class.

Traditionally, the Kushwahas worshipped Shiva and Shakta. However, in the 20th century, there has been a shift in their belief system. They now claim descent from the Suryavansh (Solar) dynasty, tracing their lineage back to Kusha, one of the twin sons of Rama and Sita.The Kushwaha community's history and cultural heritage play a significant role in shaping their identity and social status within Indian society. Their contributions to agriculture and their evolving socio-religious beliefs reflect the dynamic nature of their community over time.
