Thakur is a term commonly used in India to refer to members of certain Hindu warrior or landowning castes, primarily associated with the Rajput community. In some regions, it may also be used to denote individuals from other castes who have adopted the title. Thakurs often hold a prominent social status and have historically been involved in military and administrative roles. The exact classification and significance can vary by region and local customs.
Singh
The Kushwaha caste, also known as Koeri or Kachhi, is primarily an agricultural community in India and is traditionally associated with farming. While some members of the Kushwaha caste may hold social status similar to that of Thakur (landowner or warrior caste), they are not classified as Thakur in the traditional sense. The Thakur caste generally refers to Rajputs or those of warrior lineage, whereas Kushwahas have a distinct identity and social standing within the broader caste system.
