The Thakor Koli, or Thakarda Koli, is a sub-caste of the Koli caste of Gujarat, India. Koli people form the largest caste-cluster in Gujarat, comprising 24 per cent of the total population of the state.[1][2] Koli Thakors in Gujarat are classified as Other Backward Class (OBC). During his tenure, the former chief minister, Koli community member Madhav Singh Solanki, included all Koli communities of Gujarat in the OBC category.[3] Koli Thakors are mostly cultivators or small land-owners.[4]
