2 PANJAB CASTES.
3 derived from Jais, a large manufacturing town in Oudh. But the Jaiswaras
4 of the Panjiih cantonments prohably lieh)ng to the Chanitir tribe of that name.
5 They are generally found in attendance upon horses., and a considerable pro-
6 portion of our grooms and grass-cutters are Jaiswaras. They also frequently
7 take service as bearers.
8 The Pasi (Caste No. 156) .—This caste is closely allied with the Khatiks,
9 who indeed are said by some to be nothing more than a Pasi tril)e. They
10 are said to be the professional watchman and thief of the North- West Pro-
11 vinces, which is not the only part of India where the two occupations go
12 together. It is said that their name is derived from pdsa, a noose ; and that
13 their original occupation is that of climbing the toddy palm by means of a
14 noose and making toddy. They are a very low caste, and great keepers of
15 pigs ; and in the cantonments of the "Province they are often employed in
16 collecting and selling cowdung as fuel.
17 The Purbi (Caste No. 146). — This word means nothing more (liau an
18 "east country man/' from purah, the east, and is used generically in the
19 Panjab for alt the menial immigrants from the North-West Provinces who
20 compose the group now under discussion.
