Bhavsar is a caste that originated from warriors. As time passed, the Bhavsar community was made up of weavers, dyers, and printers.[1]
Early 1850s Bhavsars earned their riches through the clothing business, farmlands, havelis, and horses, but most Bhavsars are now pursuing modern day occupations, including private sector or public sector jobs. After the Independence of India, Bhavsars did not get much in the way of government grants or opportunities. Bhavsars are being considered in General Category.[2] With no alternatives (including Government grants, or benefits, after independence) Bhavsar youth mainly went towards higher education categories including engineering, medical, business degree and others.[3][4][5]
