v2.c58.18

In the Bombay Presidency the Pindāris of to-day are petty traders and day-labourers. They deal in grass, rice, cattle, sheep, &c., and some work as masons. They are found chiefly in the Khāndesh, Nāsik and the Southern Marāthā districts, the Musalman Pindāris being resident almost entirely in the last-named area.]
