Abstract

The Kutchi Saraswat Brahmins have served in the past many business communities, perticularly the Lohana, Bhatia and Bhansali. After having explored the relations these communities had between each other and with these Brahmins, the article focusses upon the existing contemporary links these last and the Kutchi Lohana of Bhuj and Pune. Since the Kutchi Saraswat have often followed the Lohana in their successive migrations, their networks tend to be coextensive and this is ascertained by crossing the data from the censuses made by their caste associations. The study combines data from field surveys and several caste publications.
