Kachhwaha Kachhi in India

Kachhwaha Kachhi people are traditionally agrarian workers, growing crops including wheat and lentils. Economically speaking, their main resource is the land due to their agrarian lifestyle. However, in regions like Delhi, Kachhi are mostly small business owners. Their industries range from selling vegetables to bookbinding to manufacturing plastic toys or electrical parts. Some have made careers in the government or in private sector roles such as medicine or engineering. Their diet is traditionally vegetarian which reflects both their Hindu background and agrarian lifestyle; however, as Hindu nominalism creeps in they are more likely to include meat in their diet.

Ministry Obstacles

It is unclear whether there are any Christians among the Kachhi. Their deep roots in Hinduism make evangelism difficult. There is probably no active Christian witness to the Kachhi Kachhwaha in India.
