Introduction / History

The Kamboj of Haryana speak Haryanvi and Hindi. They read and write in Devanagari. They speak Odia.

What Are Their Lives Like?

Many work on the land, in business, for the government and for others. They are not vegetarians and wheat is their staple food.

They are reasonably well educated and use modern medicines.

The Kambo have birth and marriage rituals and they cremate their dead like most Hindu communities.

They allow divorce within the first two years of marriage. The divorced and bereaved can marry again depending on their age. On the death of the father, Kambo sons inherit the property with the oldest son taking charge of the home. They have a caste council to look after their interests.

What Are Their Needs?

Pray for an abundant crop this year as a testimony of God's power and love for the Kambo people.

Prayer Points

Like people everywhere, the Kambo people need to allow the loving Savior to direct their lives. They need his forgiveness for sin.
