Answer 1

Answer:

Kurmi is traditionally a cultivator caste in the lower Gangetic plain of India, especially southern regions of Awadh, eastern Uttar Pradesh and large parts of Bihar.[1][2][3]

Kunbi (alternatively Kanbi) is a generic term applied to castes of traditionally non-elite farmers in Western India.[1][2][3][4] These include the Dhonoje, Ghatole, Hindre, Jadav, Jhare, Khaire, Lewa (Leva Patil), Lonare and Tirole communities of Vidarbha.[5] The communities are largely found in the state of Maharashtra but also exist in the states of Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Karnataka, Kerala and Goa. Kunbis are included among the Other Backward Classes (OBC) in Maharashtra.[5][a][b]
