I request my editor to read the Gaddis article in Grokipedia and make some edits regarding Gaddis because Grokipedia knows more about Gaddis than Wikipedia. ~2025-42735-39 (talk) 13:35, 4 January 2026 (UTC)

History

Gaddis originated from the region of Punjab/Rajasthan who took refuge in the Himalayas to protect their religion from foreign invaders and made sheep rearing and farming their profession. Gaddis are not a caste but a community. Gaddi Brahmins/(Rajput, Khatri) people in the Gaddi community got Scheduled Tribe status in 2003. Keshavkumar2811 (talk) 13:23, 23 January 2026 (UTC)

About Himalayan Gaddi Union: -

Himalayan Gaddi Union is a union formed to unite the castes of the Gaddi community and to get them their rights. This union was formed when the government, for its own benefit, gave ST quota to the people belonging to the Gaddi Rajput, Khatri and Brahmin castes in 2003 and deprived the rest of the castes of the community from it. However, Gaddi Rajput, Khatri and Brahmin were unreserved earlier (outside the tribal area Bharmour). According to the Himalayan Gaddi Union people, Gaddi Sabab should also be added after Sippi, Dhogri, Rihade, Wadi, Hali and Lohar castes of the Gaddi community and they should also get the rights of Scheduled Tribe. However, this sub-caste.

The gaddi people are said to originally be from the punjab plains region but moved to the mountainous area to escape religious persecution during the time of Aurangzeb , majority of them live in the chamba and kangra around city centres for job opportunities or in small villages . Their culture revolves around tales of lord shiv with some examples being the Navala a celebration of lord shiv aswell as grand celebration of maha shivratri . ~2026-12941-68 (talk) 06:14, 5 April 2026 (UTC)

Addition to history - "The Gaddi community has a long and complex history. Their origin goes back to Hindus who took refuge in the western Himalayan mountain ranges to protect themselves from invasions, war, and religious persecutions in the plains (Punjab) during and pre-Moghul period. It has been a long journey since the time of their historical migration from Central Asia, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Western Punjab, and some other parts of the country to the remote mountains. They came to rule, capture the land (Kshetras), establish Monasteries (Goasthas) in ancient times, in search of peace in the middle historical period, and escape the persecution and bigotry practiced by the then Mughal rules."

Gaddis

The Gazetteer lists that even the Gaddi community was divided into Brahmins, Bhats, Rajputs, Khatris, Thakurs and Rajputs. In Gaddi community, Khatris are not traders or shopkeepers like those of the same caste in the plains or other communities. They are the best class of Gaddis and most of them are best shepherds and the richest and most influential men as per the Gazetteer.
