Annals and Antiquities of Rajasthan, or the Central and Western Rajput States of India v3.c40.156

v3.c40.156

The Lohāna Tribe.—This tribe is numerous both in Dhat and Talpura : formerly they were Rajputs, but betaking themselves to commerce, have fallen into the third class. They are scribes and shopkeepers, and object to no occupation that will bring a subsistence ; and as to food, to use the expressive idiom of this region, where hunger spurns at law, “ excepting their cats and their cows, they will eat anything.”¹
