Tyagi Brahmins originally called Taga Gaur, is a class of Adi Gaur Brahmins.[1] The landholding community is confined to Western Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Delhi and Rajasthan. They are often considered the highest of the agricultural castes.[2] As of a 1990 report by the Backward Classes Commission, Government of Haryana, they were mostly engaged in farming.[3][4]
The name Tyagi is prevalent in both Hindu and Muslim communities.[5] Community members who converted to Islam are known as Muslim Tyagis,[6] Musalman Taga, Mahesra and Moolay Taga.[7]
