The '''Kharot''' are a [[Scheduled Caste]] found in the state of [[Uttar Pradesh]] in India. They are an [[endogamous]] sub-group within the [[Beldar]] [[caste]], and are found mainly in eastern Uttar Pradesh. The name ''kharot'' is said to be derived from the [[Sanskrit]] word ''khata'', which means grass. They were historically associated with the manufacture of mats from grass, and the word ''kharot'' literally means a grass mat manufacturer.{{cn|date=February 2017}}<br />
<br />
Like other Scheduled Caste communities, they have seen a disappearance of their traditional occupation and most Kharot are now landless agricultural labourers.{{cn|date=February 2017}}<br />

According to 2001 [[Census of India]], their population was 700, found mainly in [[Basti District]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://censusindia.gov.in/Tables_Published/SCST/scst_main.html |title=Archived copy |accessdate=2012-11-27 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100605042409/http://censusindia.gov.in/Tables_Published/SCST/scst_main.html |archivedate=2010-06-05 }}</ref> The [[2011 Census of India]] for Uttar Pradesh showed the Kharot Scheduled Caste population as 1219.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.censusindia.gov.in/2011census/PCA/SC_ST/PCA-A10/SC-0900-PCA-A-10-ddw.xlsx |title= A-10 Individual Scheduled Caste Primary Census Abstract Data and its Appendix - Uttar Pradesh |publisher=Registrar General & Census Commissioner, India |accessdate=2017-02-06}}</ref><br />
