Valmiki is a name used by a variety of communities throughout India who all claim descent from the author of the Ramayana Valmiki . The Valmikis can be classified as a caste or Sampradaya (tradition/sect).[1] Indian Rebellion of 1857 , many valmiki were prominent freedom fighters. Notable examples include Matadin Bhangi , Gangu Mehtar , Bhura Singh Valmiki . At the present time many changes have been seen in this caste, now they incline towards politics[2]
