Atishbaz are a Muslim community mainly found in the state Uttar Pradesh in India.[1] The word Atishbaz originates from two Persian words. "Atish" means "fire" and "Baz" means "to play". The Mughals brought members of the community to India from Central Asia. From the Mughal Era, they worked in manufacturing fireworks.[2][3] In India most of them speak Urdu.[4]
They also refer to themselves as Atishbaz Shaikh or sometimes just Shaikh, which is also a common surname.[5]
