The Mahawar Koli[1] (also rendered Mahor,[2] Mahaur,[3]: 29 Mahour and Mahavar[4]) is a subcaste of the Koli people. They are present in the Indian states of Rajasthan, Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and the capital territory of Delhi.[3]: 205 Mahawar Kolis inter-marry with Shakya Kolis but not with any other Koli subcastes. Together with other Koli subcastes, the Shakyawar, Jaiswar, Kabirpanthi (who followed the Kabir Panth), and Shankhwar Kolis of Uttar Pradesh, the Mahawar Kolis worked to uplift Koli social status in Hindu society by supporting the "All India Kshatriya Koli Mahasabha" leaders of Ajmer.[5] In ancient India, Koli were known as Koliya.[not verified in body]
