Origin Myth edit

The Rabari is warrior class. They originated from Arabs, one of the ancient Arab tribe called Thamud and they fought bloody wars against khilji sultanate and many others, they fought 2 wars against khilji sultanate, in sirohi and Sindh, apart from war Rabari was rabelliion against khilji sultans and played crucial role in 1320 mutiny. They dethroned khilji sultan Mubarak shah under the leadership of nasiruddin khushroshah.[3]

According to Sigrid Westphal-Helbusch, the significant migrations of Rabaris took place between 12th to 14th century, when they moved from Marwar to Sindh and Kutch. The migrations of Rabaris in fact follow similar paths as that of Rajputs and Charans, two other migrant group in this region, indicating intertwined histories. Westphal-Helbusch ascribes the goddess worship traditions of Rabaris to the Charan influence.[4]
