Dear All,

I was going through the caste codes (the pdf file), and noticed that the two prominent castes in Maharashtra - Maratha and Mahar are not mentioned in this list, while 1931 census had mentioned and enumerated these castes.

Why are they not mentioned in NFHS 1992-93 codes? Am i missing something? Any lead would be helpful.

Thank you so much for your time and help,
Ambrish
