Bhil or Bheel are various indigenous groups inhabiting western India, including parts of Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh and in Sindh, Pakistan. Additionally they are also found in distant places such as Bengal and Tripura. Though they now speak the Bhili language, an Indo-Aryan language, the aboriginal language that the Bhil originally spoke is lost. Bhils are divided into a number of endogamous territorial divisions, which in turn have a number of clans and lineages.

The Dhanuk are an ethnic group found in India. In Bihar, where they are present in significant numbers, they are classified among the "lower backwards", along with several other castes, together comprising approximately 2.13% of the state's population. In recent years, the community has experienced increased political representation. In Bihar, Dhanuks are often considered a sub-caste of the Mandal caste and frequently use Mandal as a surname. In parts of Uttar Pradesh, particularly from Kanpur Dehat northward to Etawah, Kannauj, and Agra, Katheria is a commonly used surname.
