Rabari (Hindu traditions) in India

pronounced: rah-BAH-ree

Rabari means outsiders. This is because of their occupation. Rabari's main business used to be raising livestock. These livestock need lots of space and the people have lived outside the villages. At present, the Rabari have settled down in their original communities, and are engaging in commerce and agriculture. Rabari are the remnant of Huns, who invaded India in the fifth century AD.
