Baheliya was one such community which had emerged as an important one in the fourteenth century during the reign of Muhammed bin Tughlak in Delhi. Since they were mainly concentrated in the region lying between Chunar and Banaras on the bank of the Ganga they used to be recruited from there and many were also given the ownership of twenty seven villages each as gifts. William Crooke informs us in his book that people who were hired as security guards of Akbar included a large number of Baheliyas and their commander was known as Hazaari.5 In 1772 when the Mughals conceded to the British many of them joined the British army. Along with the Baheliyas the Pasis who numbered nearly 1.2 million at that time also built up a reputation of being a courageous, brave and valiant community. 6 Posing a challenge to the laws, rules and orders of the East India Company they worked as the stick wielders, watchmen and security guards of the landlords and local kings and made a name for themselves as a stalwart martial community. Sleeman, who was on a capturing spree in that region in 1857, described the heroic Pasis by saying that many of them had formed their own armies and had acquired a considerable amount of land and property by committing robberies, murders and working as mercenary soldiers for small kings. 7 The chivalry of the Pasis has also been described in the folk epic Alha-Udal.8 Before that, in 1678 in the Bundelkhand region the army of the king of Chhatrasaal included, in addition to higher castes like Rajputs, Brahmins and Baniyas.
How the mighty have fallen Baheliya Rajpoots! In past we were once high in the Hindu caste system and part of a powerful Rajput army. After a key defeat, we had to hide in the jungles, where we survived by catching birds and animals, honey extraction, all considered inferior jobs. Taking such jobs led to them losing our favorable caste status. Usually landless, many work as day laborers, though we have a tradition of making fans with peacock feathers and selling the birds they catch.

How the mighty have fallen Baheliya Rajpoots..!!
How the mighty have fallen! The Bahelia people are now Dalits, but we were once high in the Hindu caste system and part of a powerful Rajput army. After a key defeat, we had to hide in the jungles, where they survived by catching birds and animals, honey extraction, all considered inferior jobs. Taking such jobs led to them losing our favorable caste status. Usually landless, many work as day laborers, though we have a tradition of making fans with peacock feathers and selling the birds they catch.
Modern India's development programs are greatly improving the lives of the Bahelia people. We are taking advantage of greater educational opportunities, and our literacy rate is improving, especially for boys. Our health care is also improving.
The Bahelia people live in Uttar Pradesh, a state where very few that follow Christ. We are virtually all Hindu.

Admn lets two hunger baheliya strikers die [Lucknow (Nov 2007)
LUCKNOW: Two villagers on hunger strike for over five days died in Etah and Bulandshahr, respectively, on Sunday, exposing shocking levels of administrative insensitivity.
Though in both the cases the protests were in the knowledge of the district administration since day one, none bothered to address the protesters till the two died within a span of 12 hours.
In Etah, about a dozen members of Baheliya community were sitting on a hunger strike since October 25 demanding caste certificates. Sometime back the Etah district administration had stopped issuing scheduled tribe (ST) certificates to the members of Aheriya clan of the Baheliya tribe. The administration's plea for not issuing the certificates, claimed protesters, was that Aheriya clan was not a part of Baheliya tribe.
In most of the districts, including Etah, Aheriyas were given ST certificates until recently. In order to press their demand, around a dozen members of the Aheriya tribe began an indefinite hunger strike from November 1. Late on Sunday night, one of the protesters Budhpal (50), fell unconscious and died at the hospital, confirmed additional district magistrate (ADM), Etah, Devendra Dixit on Monday. Condition of two other protesters was stated to be critical. District magistrate (DM), Etah, Shashi Bhushan Lal Susheel, who had earlier turned a blind eye to the protest, announced on Monday afternoon that ST certificates will now be issued to Aheriya clan members. When contacted for details of the case, the person who took the call on the DM's CUG number said that he had gone off to sleep.
If sources are to be believed, the district authorities were busy preparing documents to establish that efforts were made to convince the Aheriyas to withdraw their protest.

वन्य प्राणियों के लिए खतरा बने पारदी एवं बहेलिया जाति के लोगों की पन्ना जिले में खासी तादाद है. ये वन क्षेत्रों के निकट डेरा डालकर शिकार करते हैं. पुश्तैनी शिकारी होने के कारण ये लोग कोई दूसरा काम-धंधा करना पसंद नहीं करते. ये घुम्मकड जंगली सुअर से लेकर शेर तक का शिकार बडी आसानी से कर लेते हैं.
शिकार करने में इन जातियों की महिलायें भी बड़ी निपुण और दक्ष होती हैं, जिन क्षेत्रों में बहेलियों का डेरा पड जाता है, वहां ये वन्य प्राणियों का सफाया कर देते हैं. कहा तो यहां तक जाता है कि सरिस्का में शेरों का सफाया पारदी जाति के शिकारियों ने ही किया है. इनकी नजर पन्ना नेशनल पार्क के जंगल में विचरण करने वाले शेरों पर भी रहती है. इन शातिर शिकारियों द्वारा किए गए शेरों को शिकार की किसी को भनक तक नहीं लग पाती.

Baheliya's Present Circumstences
Traditionally the Behiliya economic activity revolved around bird catching and selling honey. In addition, there main economic activity remains manufacturing fans from peacock feathers. These fans are then sold to Bania middlemen, who sell them on in cities such as Kolkata and Delhi. As a Dalit community, they often suffer from societal discrimination. Each of their settlement contains an informal caste council, known as a biradari panchayat. This consist of five members who are elected by community members. The panchayat acts as instrument of social control, dealing with issues such as divorce and adultery.[1]
Baheliya Origin
The Baheliya are a tribal community of hunters and bird catchers, and the origin of their name is from the Sanskrit vyadka, meaning one who pierces, . They are mainly involved in bird catching, extracting honey from beehives and picking peacock feathers for the manufacture of fans. They are divided into a six groups, the Aheria, Gehlot, Sissodia, Karaul, Pasi and the Muslim Baheliya. Other minor clans include the Chandel and Srivastav. Each of these groups claim a Rajput origin, with the Sissodia claiming to be superior over the other groupings.
