During the formation of the organisation known as the Gujarat Kshatriya Sabha, there were matrimonial ties between Kolis and other caste groups of Gujarat state. The other rich and prosperous caste jagirdars married with the Kolis of Gujarat that gave them an uplift in their social position in society.[2][3]
