They have been given the status of Other Backward Castes, which means they are socially and educationally disadvantaged. They have always done manual labor, which means that their status is fairly low in any Hindu culture.

The Hindu Khumra people live in Uttar Pradesh and Haryana, two highly unreached states in northern India.

The Khumra are traditionally involved with millstone manufacturing but now that has declined and many work as agricultural and industrial laborers. Only a few of them are landowners.

The Khumra people practice Hinduism, the ancient religion of India. They worship and serve the gods of the Hindu pantheon. Hindus believe that by performing rituals and good works that they will attain moksha or freedom from the endless cycle of birth, death and rebirth. They visit Hindu temples and offer prayers, food, flowers, and incense to their gods in hopes of gaining protection and benefits. They do not have a personal or familial relationship with their gods like Christians or Jews. There are many forms of Hinduism, each with its own deities and beliefs.

The main yearly holidays of the Khumra people are Holi, the festival of colors and the start of spring / Diwali, the festival of lights / Navratri, the celebration of autumn / and Rama Navami, Rama's birthday.

The Khumra people need to be given the chance to get an education so they can advance beyond doing manual labor.

Pray that churches and believers will bless their entire people group in such a way that God's love will change the Khumra people like yeast changes dough.
