These people are originally of Rajput descent. During Moghul attacks they fled to the forest and then via Gujrath Madhya Pradesh they came to Maharashtra.
They live all over Maharashtra. Mainly in Dhule, jalgaaon, Nashik, Thane, Surgana, Nandurbar.
Until last decade they were living a tribal life. Their livelihood was dependent on the forest. But now, many of them are in basic services and low paying jobs, etc.
They do not believe in preparing for the future. They live only for today.
