Please Make Changes to Jhare / Zade Kunbi Section

[edit]

Hello Mr. Acharya63

Being a learned member of community, i have identified the anomalies and misinformation in "Jhare" kunbi sections. I would request you to make the necessary changes as per the information provided below.

here are fundamental misinformation in the section of jhare or jhade or Zade kunbis in the article. I would like to highlight few of them.

1. "Jhare/Jhade/Zade" and "Bowne" are different communities or sub-castes in the Kunbi's. Jhade/Zade kunbi's are prominently home in the districts or Bhandara, Gondia and Northern parts of Chandrapur & Gadhchiroli and eastern parts of Nagpur Districts. Although, for work and professional reasons you can find them in good amount in almost all districts of Vidarbha reagion and adjoining districts of present chattisgarh.

2. They are called Jhade not because "they comes from jhadi (forest). This is a blatant lie and ignorance on part on the writer. They are called Jhade/Zade because they belong to the parts of Vidharbha which gets maximum rainfall during rainy season. "Jhadi" means intermittent rainfall, which this region normally gets during monsoon. Older generations often talks about more than fortnights "jhadi" (Rains) during monsoon. Thats the reason this region is rice bowl of Maharashtra as they grows "Paddy" (dhaan/rice) due to ample rainfall during monsoon rains as against scanty rainfall in other districts of Vidarbha.

3. They are not "Gond" people. Gond people inhibits the district of Gadhchiroli in Maharashtra and Bastar in chattisgarh. Gondi people are the tribals who lived deep in the forests and dependents on forest produce for their livelihood.

While kunbis cleared the forest lands into Agricultural lands and tilled them for growing rice as a staple produce during Monsoon season i.e. kharif season and Pulses like tur(lentil), chana(groundnuts), moong(lentil), til(linseed), and grains like wheat and jowar during rabbi or winter season.

Like all kunbi's they are the people who migrated as men from Maratha Armed Forces from places like Kolhapur, Satara, Pune, Ahmednagar etc. during expansion of Maratha empire to eastern parts of India. Along the way they inhibited the area, cleared the Forests into agricultural fields, utilize their farming skills and settled in this part of vidarbha.

4. The typical surnames mentioned herein the article are Bowne's who are prominent in district of Amrawati and Nagpur primiraly. The common surnames of "Jhade" Kunbi's are Kathane, Shivankar, Munishwar, Shende, Kore, Pathode, Bhramhankar, Doye, Hatthimare etc.

5. Jhade Kunbi's are decently educated as compared to other kunbi's, even druing 1970's most of men and woman studied upto matriculation atleast. Despite a large number of Graduates and Post graduates in the community, they preferred to stay back at their villages and were primiraly engaged with Agriculture and Agro based industies till around mid 1990s, when the changing economic scenario made then seek more lucrative opportunities into new age industries of IT, Banking, Manufacturing etc.

5. The fact that they prefer to marry in relation i.e maternal uncles is correct. So is the preferred ages are mentioned.

6. The Jhade Kunbi dominated areas were always considered progressive as their forefather generations had the foresight and had ensured access to education - primary and higher, primary health, infrastructure like Rail, Roads, electricity, cottage industries, etc available since early times of Independent India. Highly politically aware people who dominated the cooperative sector at its peak.

I would suggest you to make different section for Bowne/Bawane Kunbi, Khedule Kunbis too. I am sure people from this sub-community will contribute to the sections — Preceding unsigned comment added by Msandeep25 (talkcontribs) 07:47, 30 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
