The '''Mama''' are a sub-division of the Bhil community found indigenous to the current state of [[Rajasthan]] in [[India]]. They are known as Mama Bhil because they are followers of the [[Mama Baleshwar Dayal]] sect. The sect gets its name from Mama Baleshwar Dayal, who starting preaching to the [[Bhil]]s of [[Kushalgarh]] [[tehsil]] of [[Banswara District]]. Their clans are referred to as ataks.<ref name="PoIR XXXVIII 1 165-169">People of India Rajasthan Volume XXXVIII Part One edited by B.K Lavania, D. K Samanta, S K Mandal & N.N Vyas pages 165 to 169 Popular Prakashan</ref>

The Maman are a community of small and medium-sized farmers. Most of their settlements are exclusively Kataria, and each of them contains an informal caste association. This acts as an instrument of social control, punishing those who transgress current community norms. They are now [[Hindu]] and unlike other [[Bhil]] groups have lost their ancestral non [[Brahminical]] tribal deities. The Kataria speak the [[Bagri language|Bagri]] dialect of [[Rajasthani language|Rajasthani]].<ref name="PoIR XXXVIII 1 165-169"/>

Like other Bhil groups, they are [[endogamy|endogamous]] and practice clan [[exogamy]]. This despite the recent but comparatively greater level of [[Brahminical]] [[Sanskritisation]].
