The term "Kurmi" refers to a social group primarily found in the Indian states of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Madhya Pradesh. Traditionally, the Kurmis are associated with agriculture and are known for their skills in farming. They have a rich cultural heritage and often celebrate various festivals that reflect their agrarian lifestyle. In the context of Indian society, the Kurmis are classified as a backward class in some regions, which allows them to access certain government benefits and reservations. Their community plays a significant role in local politics and social dynamics, often advocating for their rights and representation in various forums.
