The Kirars are another caste with more or less mixed descent from Rajputs.

They are also called Dhakar, and this means one of illegitimate birth.

The Bhilalas are a caste formed of the offspring of mixed alliances between Rajputs and Bhils.

Thus the Bhilalas include a number of landed proprietors, and the caste ranks as a good agricultural caste, from whom Brahmans will take water.
