Community
[edit]The main community in this village is the Bhati Rajput clan, who trace their roots back to Rao Kasal Singh Bhati. He was a chieftain originally from Jaisalmer in present-day Rajasthan. According to historian, Rao Kasal Singh migrated to this area and set up Kasna-another village in Greater Noida with a strong Bhati Rajput presence—as his capital.[2] From there, the influence of the Bhati Rajput clan spread to the surrounding regions.This larger region, which includes around 360 villages connected to the Bhati Rajput community, is locally called mini Bhatner. The name comes from the historical dominance of the Bhati Rajput clan in the area. [3]
Out of these villages, about 150 are mainly Bhati Hindu Rajputs, while roughly 160 are home to Bhati Muslim Rajputs[4]
Ghodi Bachheda, is often regarded as one of the most prominent and influential Bhati Rajput villages in the area along with Maincha.
