Kalota

Kalota are engaged yet unreached. They are part of the Rajasthani people cluster, which has traditionally been unwilling to accept Jesus' lordship on his terms. This people group is only found in India. Traditionally, Kalota were warriors who now live in Madhya Pradesh. The Kalota speak Gujarati and Hindi and read and write in Devanagari. They work mostly in agriculture. They only marry as adults. The Kalota allow for divorce and remarriage. Widows receive some of the property, which is unusual in Hindu culture. They have specific elders who settle disagreements for them. They are vegetarians who eat wheat and sometimes rice.

Ministry Obstacles

There are probably no Christ followers among the Kalota. Very few who speak the Hindi language have bowed their knees to Jesus Christ. There is a high number of atrocities reported in the area, presenting danger to missionaries who would attempt to enter this community with the gospel.
