Introduction

Lodha are an independent caste among poor farmers. They are good at growing crops, quiet and hardworking. The Jariya are one of the Lodha subgroups. Lodha Jariya are traditionally farm workers, growing crops of wheat and lentils. Economically speaking, their main resource is the land. Lodha Jariya boys and girls both get an education; however, they don't encourage women to further their studies. Their diet is traditionally vegetarian, which reflects both their Hindu background and agrarian lifestyle. They are becoming more likely to include meat in their diet.

Ministry Obstacles

With a large population in northern and central India, there may be no Christ followers among this Lodha subgroup. They speak Hindi, but few Hindi speakers are Christian believers.
