The Kanjars speak three languages i.e. the regional Hadoti language, community language and Parsi which is their secret language used to execute criminal activities. The community has been categorised as de-notified tribe. The community is known for their criminal activities, making country liquor, selling fake gold and prostitution.
Abstract
The collection consists of audio recordings along with related photographs and videos. The project was mainly based on recording 20 hours of the Tejaji Ballad sung by the Mali (gardeners) community of the village Thikarda. But along with Thikarda, nightlong recordings were also done in some 23 other villages of Hadoti and surrounding region for a comparative study.
