Sikh Ramgarhia (Lohar) - (Backward Caste),
The Sikh Ramgarhia (Lohar: the term is sometimes considered a synonym for blacksmith) was regarded as a backward caste in pre-Sikh times as compared to the [[Brahmin]]s and [[Kshatriya]]s classes. In modern times, Sikhi does not recognise any castes and as such it is incorrect to refer to a Sikh as a Ramgarhia Sikh! The Ramgarhias are a Northern Indian ethnic tribe that inhabits the [[Punjab]] and are also linked to Vishwakarma "God". In Old Era they were mainly carpenters and metal workers. In more recent period in Punjab Ramgarhia professions were Civil Engineer, Electrical Engineering, Mechanic, Architecture, etc. Although some stratification still remains in Sikhs in the Punjab, this has predominately disappeared in Sikh communities abroad.

Sikhism does not endorse caste based distinctions in society that lead to unequal opportunities for some people. In fact, Sikhism completely rejects class or race based distinctions between humans, that leads us to make an inequitable society. Such distinctions have surfaced only due to ill interests of certain section of people, who, on the pretext of making a society more manageable through these classifications, eventually paved the way to an unequal grouping within the human race. This article is just for information purpose and to share how people from different castes came into the Sikh fold. So, please treat this article as a source of general information about this issue and kindly do not amend this article to highlight this important underlying Sikh principle. If you have any comments, please discuss them appropriately here

जय श्री विश्वकर्मा प्रभु, जय श्री विश्वकर्मा | सकल सृष्टि के करता, रक्षक स्तुति धर्मा ||

आदि सृष्टि मे विधि को श्रुति उपदेश दिया | जीव मात्रा का जाग मे, ज्ञान विकास किया ||

ऋषि अंगीरा ताप से, शांति नहीं पाई | रोग ग्रस्त राजा ने जब आश्रया लीना | संकट मोचन बनकर डोर दुःखा कीना || जय श्री विश्वकर्मा.

जब रथकार दंपति, तुम्हारी टर करी | सुनकर दीं प्रार्थना, विपत हरी सागरी ||

एकानन चतुरानन, पंचानन राजे | त्रिभुज चतुर्भुज दशभुज, सकल रूप सजे ||

ध्यान धरे तब पद का, सकल सिद्धि आवे | मन द्विविधा मिट जावे, अटल शक्ति पावे ||

श्री विश्वकर्मा की आरती जो कोई गावे | भाजात गजानांद स्वामी, सुख संपाति पावे || जय श्री विश्वकर्मा.
