["The Megh, Meghwal, or Meghwar people live primarily in northwest India, with a small population in Pakistan. As of 20 08, their total population was estimated at 2,807,000, of whom 2,760,000 lived in India. They speak Marwari (659,000), Hindi (663,000), Dogri (230,0 00), Punjabi (175,000) and various other regional languages. As a scheduled caste, their traditional occupation was weaving. Most are Hindu by religion, with Rishi Megh, Kabir, Ram Devji and Bankar Mataji their chief gods.Megh lineage is considered to have originated from Rajarishi Vritra, also known as Megh Rishi. .,.Many of the Kashmiri Muslims settled in plains of erstwhile Punjab and Gujarat states who were weavers and like Meghs have descended from Brahmins. Rituals observed by Meghs match with that of Brahmins. The word Megh does not denote any particular work attached to this community as had been the case with many other communities. They have been categorised as scheduled castes in states like Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Maharashtra,Punjab etc.That is, they are among the castes of India that are specified in a schedule of the Indian constitution for special treatment to overcome disadvantages due to caste prejudice.,." - wikipedia].
