The '''Bhambi Rohit''' are a [[Hindu]] [[caste]] found in the state of [[Gujarat]] in [[India]]. They are a sub-group within the [[Bhambi]] community.<ref>People of India Gujarat Volume XXII Part One edited by R.B Lal, S.V Padmanabham & A Mohideen page 162 to 166 Popular Prakashan</ref><br />
<br />
== Origin ==<br />
<br />
The community gets its name from Rohidas, a [[Hindu]] saint, and Rohit are followers of this saint. They broke away from the [[Bhambi Khalpa]] community, when they decided to abandon the traditional occupation of the Bhambi, which was shoemaking. According to other traditions, the Rohit are a sub-group of the [[Chamar]] community. They are found in the districts of [[Kaira district|Kaira]], [[Surat]], [[Ahmedabad]], and [[Baroda]]. The Rohit are a [[Gujarati language|Gujarati]] speaking community.<ref>People of India Gujarat Volume XXII Part One edited by R.B Lal, S.V Padmanabham & A Mohideen page 162 to 166 Popular Prakashan</ref><br />
<br />
== Present circumstances ==<br />
<br />
The Rohit are an endogamous community, and practice clan exogamy. Historically, they used to intermarry with the [[Bhambi Khalpa]], but this has been discontinued. Historically, the Rohit were tanners and shoemakers, but like other artisan communities are abandoning their traditional occupation. Many are now employed as wage labourers.<ref>People of India Gujarat Volume XXII Part One edited by R.B Lal, S.V Padmanabham & A Mohideen page 162 to 166 Popular Prakashan</ref><br />
