Description:
The Meghwar people are a Hindu caste found mainly in the Sindh province of Pakistan. They are traditionally associated with the weaving of cloth, but many are now employed as agricultural laborers. The Meghwar are believed to have descended from the Rajputs of Rajasthan, India. They are thought to have migrated to Sindh in the 15th century, and adopted the local language, culture and customs. The Meghwar surname is derived from the Sanskrit word 'megh', meaning 'cloud'. It is believed that the Meghwar people were originally given this name because of their nomadic lifestyle, which meant they often moved from place to place in search of work. The Meghwar people are divided into several sub-groups, each with its own distinct culture and customs. These include the Jat, Khatri, and Khaskheli clans. Variations of the Meghwar surname include Meghwari, Megh, and Megwar.
