The Maratha caste is composed of 96 clans, originally formed in the earlier centuries from the amalgamation of families from the peasant (Kunbi), shepherd (Dhangar), pastoral (Gavli), blacksmith (Lohar), carpenter (Sutar), Bhandari, Thakar and Koli castes in Maharashtra. Many of them took to military service in the 16th century for the Deccan sultanates or the Mughals. Later in the 17th and 18th centuries, they served in the armies of the Maratha Empire, founded by Shivaji, a Maratha Kunbi by caste.
Marathi (peuple)
The Marathi people (मराठी लोक) or Marathis (मराठी) are an Indo-Aryan ethnolinguistic group who are indigenous to Maharashtra in western India. They natively speak Marathi, an Indo-Aryan language. Maharashtra was formed as a Marathi-speaking state of India in 1960, as part of a nationwide linguistic reorganization of the Indian states. The term "Maratha" is generally used by historians to refer to all Marathi-speaking peoples, irrespective of their caste; however, now it may refer to a Maharashtrian caste known as the Maratha.
Parsis
Les Parsis, parfois Pārsis ou Parses (de Pārashika, peuple de Perse, une partie d'Iran et d'Afghanistan actuel ; en પારસી) sont les adeptes du parsisme, confession dérivée du zoroastrisme. Ils constituent l'une des deux communautés zoroastriennes (l'autre étant celle des Iranis) ayant quitté le monde iranien pour s'installer principalement en Inde. À la suite de la conquête de la Perse, une partie de la population Parsi s'enfuit vers l'Est et s'installe en Inde. Les Parsis s'établirent tout d'abord dans le Sind et dans le Saurāshtra, au Gujarat.
