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.
