Bazigars (from Persian: بازیگر bazi + gar) are a nomad gipsy-folk of India and Pakistan found throughout North India. They live a life apart from the surrounding Hindu population, and still preserve a certain ethnical identity. Many make livings as jugglers, makers, basket-weavers and fortune-tellers; and in true European gipsy fashion each clan has its king. They are found in the states of Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh.
The name Bazigar is derived from the Urdu word bazi, which means an acrobat. They themselves claim to be Chauhan Rajputs, who took to the occupation of acrobatics to escape persecution and attempts to forcefully convert them to Islam during the period of the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb. They have now been granted Scheduled Caste status in Haryana, Punjab and Uttar Pradesh. The Bazigar speak their own dialect, known as bazigar boli, while speaking in Hindi with outsiders. In Haryana, they are found mainly in the districts of Yamuna Nagar, Ambala, Kurukshetra, Rohtak, Sirsa, Fatehabad and Karnal. Major Bazigar clans in Haryan include the muchhals,Lalka, Myane, Dharsout, Namsout, and Jagateka.
There's a riot in Atlantic city
Gamblers are running wild
'cause suddenly the sky opened up
and gold was pouring down
people started fighting each other
while they tried to get their share
saying; I've got a gun
so you don't wanna mess with me
There's a flood all over deadwood city
citizens are going mad
'cause suddenly the sky opened up
and rain was pouring down
people started pushing each other
while they tried to clear their way
saying I've got a house
That's sinking in to the ground
On a day like this it shows who you really are
There was this girl from milwaukee
Nobody really knew
Suddenly one night she appeared
on a nation-wide tv-show
Oh, people started talking about her
And the boys were digging her past
Saying we've all been with her
I'm sure she will remember me
On a day like this it shows who you really are
There's an old man in south nevada
He's running the local bar
suddenly the wind whispered news
about how he lost that eye
locals did'nt show up at the bar
until the rumours were revised
saying: We all knew
that was nonsense all the time
On a day like this it shows who you really are
On a day like this it shows who you really are
On a day like this it shows who you really are
On a day like this it shows who you really are
On a day like this it shows who you really are
On a day like this y'all
