Boriya.—A tribe of village servants and cultivators found chiefly in
the Cawnpur and Hardoi Districts. Their sub-castes show that they are
closely connected with, if not an offshoot of, the great Pâsi tribe.
Thus we find among their sub-divisions Arakh, Baheliya, Gûjar, Khangâr,
Kisân, Luniya, Pâsi, Râjpâsi, Rakhpâsi. Some, again, are local
sections, such as Ajudhyabâsi, Antarbedi, Baiswâr, Banârasi, Brijbâsi,
Kanaujiya, Mahobiya; others imply some connection with other tribes as
Bhurtiya, Chauhân, Ghosi, Hâra, Kaithiya, Kathwâns, and Sombansi.
Others are occupational, as Ghurcharha, “horsemen;” Khetwâl, “field
men.”
