KHANDAYAT CASTE (Kshatriya of Odisha)


Khandayats are the single largest and highest caste of Odisha. According to 4 varna system of Hindu's  Khandayat come's under Kshatriya varna . They occupy 18-20% of the state’s population . Traditionally they are martial caste or people belonging to the warrior class. The name Khandayat is originated from the term "khanda" in Odia which means the sword and ayata means control in specific area.They are divided into various sub groups.The main sub groups are :- Khetriya, Chasa, Dalapati, Benatiya, Kaltua(NOTE:-There is no reln. betn Western Odisha Kulta,Some think they are same but originally they are different),Pandarsagharia(Mosltly lives in Angul&Dhenkanal district),Tinsagharia(Mosltly lives in Angul district) ,Oda/Odia(sometimes called Orh) ,Samanta,chukuliya(Mosltly lives in Puri & Nayagarh district) sukuliya(Mosltly lives in Puri & Nayagarh district) etc. Like Brahmins,some sub group particularly the Mahanaik also wear Sacred thread (paita) only after marriage where others don't .

After Muslim invasion of India Hindu rulers almost lost their power.  At that time Khandayats(Kshatriyas) 
mostly concentrated in cultivation to survive . Genetically, they are daring and brave and still it can can be noticed.They are the real warriors of india like rajputs.

  19. Khandayat is not same as khyatriya, khyatriya are soldiers in kings rule but khandayat do farming most of the time but if more people needed they join the defence.

    1. Khandayat are Kshatriya and khandayat do remain in permanent in the military. You see khandayat have 3 subgroups. And only the chasa khandayat have been known to engage in part time farming. That is not their usual occupation but temporary. Whereas Samanta and paika are shresta khandayat and are entirely engaged in the militia. Also this has been recorded by the British Govt. More than a century ago and Khandayat called khandaits have been assigned a place in the list of Kshatriya castes prepared by the govt back then based on the then prevalent caste system.Do prefer the book Warrrior castes of undivided India by prof. Tyagi for a clearer idea.

    1. Mahalayak are Mahanayak only. They will come under Shreshtha Khandaits category. During medieval era, they were Unit or platoon commanders.

    2. Mahalayak are sudra.
      Check sebc it's clearly written mahalayak or mahanayak are sudra caste.not kshatriya.
      mahalyak means khandayat but not kshatriya kahandait.

      sresta khandait are different.
      Gajapathi raja is sresta khandait.
      puri raja is sresta khandait.
      Aul raja is sresta khandait.
      harekrushna mahatab is sresta khandait.

    2. Mahalyak are next to king..Many villages under them.. All the information from Gajapati came first to Mahalyak then they pareapred and planned the affairs accordingly.

    3. Mahalayk are native sudra.
      check odisha sebc report there is sudra mahalayak..
      and gajapati king is khandayat.
      there is no sub caste of khandayat.

      Half mahalayk in karan mahalyak
      Half mahalyak in khandayat mahlayak

      there is no such king regarding mahalayak in odisha.

      Afterall odisha came from odra desha.

      oda-odisha.

      Where there is muslim there is mahalayak.

      mahalyak are sudra to muslim.

      no record of mahalyak are next to king.

      Khordha and pipil area revenue inspector on 1890 was a chasa caste.

      you can check history of this.

      "କୁଚକ୍ରୀ ଖଣ୍ଡି"

      Jatani and pipili revenue village was under mrs khandi son in law..

      he is next to Khurdha raja.
