Kashyap Rajputs is a Hindu caste found in the states of Haryana, Punjab and J&K in India. They are also known as Dhimar, Jimar or Jhinwar. They claim to be descended from Kashyap Rishi, who is said to have lived during the time of Lord Ram. They are found through out Haryana, and in that state speak Haryanvi. The community is divided into the Hindu and Sikh Jhinwar. These two groupings are effectively separate communities, with no intermarriage among them. The Jhinwar are said to be by origin Kahars.

Present Circumstances

The community is divided into different clans such as the Antal, Badran, Baison, Bhatiara, Bhatti, Brahia, Khokhar, Chalag, Chauhan, Dhonchak, Dhora, Gadri, Hadda, Inan, Inar, Jalan, Jhoka, Kalan, and Tuar. They are a strictly endogamous, but practice clan exogamy. The community speaks Haryanvi, Dogri etc., the Sikh Jhinwar also speaking Punjabi. Traditionally the Jhinwar were water carriers and palanquin bearers, but both these occupations have been abandoned. They are found mainly in Kotli and Mirpur districts. A small number are now farmers, but a greater number are landless agricultural labourers or daily wage labourers. A large number of the community are now operating road side restaurants/dhaba's, a trade that seems to have been monopolized by the Jhinwar / Kashyap Rajputs.
