Nai (caste)

The Nai (also known as Nayee, also known as Valand in Gujarat) is a caste originating in India. They were traditionally occupied as barbers, although some have adopted the name Sharma that was historically the preserve of Brahmins.[1] Their caste range from the Kshatriyas to Brahmin due to their main tradition. They are now known as the Kshatriyas ( The Second upper caste community), but previously were regarded as the middle due to their main tradition. This is why they were also previously regarded and in some parts of the world today as the Other backward class due to their previous tradition, but their caste community still remains in the middle high position, due to other traditions they did.[2]
