The ethnicity was also constructed on the basis of tribal background, occupations or some contingencies. For instance, the brahamanas were divided into 103 gotras (tribal divisions), and each gotra was divided into distinctive families famous after family appellation called kram. Kram is often the relic of a nickname applied to the ancestor of the subdivision. And when during the rule of Muslims, some of them held different positions in the state apparatus. They came to be called after those offices such as Razdan, Fotadar, Ambardar, Ganju, Karawani, Diwani, Qazi, Muhatasib, Naqib, Amin and Waguzari, which became their permanent surnames. . 9781000836554 . . en-IN .
