History
Excerpts from book "Saharanpur - A Gazetter by Nevill, H. R."
The Garas are far stronger in Saharanpur than in any other part of these provinces, where they are confined to the Meerut division and to parts of Agra and Rohilkhand. They numbered 44,636 out of a provincial total of 53,952, and aggregate 12*68 per cent, of the Musalmans. They are 'well distributed, and are the largest caste in the Nakur tahsil. Their origin is unknown, some styling themselves Mughals and others Sayyad, though in most cases they assert themselves to be descended from Rajputs converted at an early period of Muhammadan rule, and say that the name is derived from the new custom of burying their dead adopted by the converts. They have many subdivisions^ often taken from the names of Rajput clans. The Garas are cultivators of a very high order, but their industry is combined with great litigiousness and a remarkable knowledge of legal technicalities, which renders them very unpopular with landlords: a common saying runs "gaon mm gara; khet men jha/ra," implying that they are as troublesome in a village as thorns in a field.
