The Khangar community are an Indian “ancient kshatriya rajput "community. They are referred to by many other names, such as Khangaar, Khungar, Khengar, Khagar, Khangdhar and Rao Khangad.[2]
The community ruled areas of present-day Bundelkhand after the fall of the Chandelas in 1182 A.D. and until the mid-14th century their seat of power was at Garh Kundar, reigned by Khet Singh Khangar.[citation needed]
The Khangars were formerly classified as a criminal tribe under the Criminal Tribes Acts of the British Raj. During the period of the British Raj, when the process of sanskritisation became apparent and the administration attempted to record caste in censuses, the All-India Khangar Kshatriya League campaigned for official recognition as kshatriya.
The Khangar caste is included in the general category in Uttar Pradesh ( U.P.)[citation needed]
