Ahir Boricha

Subgroup of Ahir community in Gujarat, India

The Boricha are a part of the Ahir caste found in the state of Gujarat in India. They are traditionally associated with pastoralism and cattle herding.

Origin

The Boricha get their name from the Boricha region of Kutch, which was their original homeland, from where they emigrated to Jamnagar District due to a drought. According to other traditions, the word Boricha means those who are of value. The community are now found in the Jhodia taluka of Jamnagar District, Kutch District, Morvi in Rajkot District and Junagadh District. They are one of the four sub-caste of the Ahir community found in Gujarat. They still speak the Gujrati and Kutchi language.
