They are also known as Gihara. The name Kuchband is derived from the [[Hindi language|Hindi]] word {{transl|hi|kuch}}, meaning a weavers brush, on account of their traditional occupation of manufacturing {{transl|hi|kuches}}. According to their traditions, the community emigrated from [[Rajasthan]] some three centuries ago. They are now found throughout [[Haryana]], and speak [[Haryanvi language|Haryanvi]]. According to other traditions, the Kuchband are a sub-group of the [[Singikat]] community. Like other [[Hindu]] artisan [[caste]]s, they no longer practice their traditional craft. Most Kuchband are now landless agricultural labourers.&lt;ref&gt;People of India Hayana Volume XXIII edited by M.L Sharma and A.K Bhatia pages 310 to 312 Manohar&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Like other [[Hindu]]s, the community is strictly [[endogamy|endogamous]], and practice clan [[exogamy]]. Their clans are known as [[gotra]]s, the main ones being Goyal, Banjara, Vaid, Benewal, Uthwal, Soda and Athwar.<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> <br /> {{reflist}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Social groups of Haryana]]<br /> [[Category:Indian castes]]</div>
