Hi glad to answer your question, basically Mazabhi is sort of like a jaat, or caste, hence like Jatts or Ramgharias.

As Sikhs, we should not label our brothers by hindu caste names, but they are Sikhs, they are not a jatha, more of just a sort of lower caste as you would say.

They have great faith in Bhagat Ravi Das Ji as well.

Majbee in western society term "Untouchable of Punjab." Though they can be both sikh, hindu or muslim. Most of Majbee are sikhs because of our religious preaching of equality (though few ppls in punjab practice it) but majbee are vastly shunned/ignored by Hindu society as they treat them slaves and are not allowed to have equal status as of Pandits or Bhramins.

Hope that answers your question :doh:

Maajbee Sikh's are credited with stealing the remains of Guru Tegh Bahadhur from the Mughals.

A famous Sikh Maajbhee Regiment that dates back from the time of Guru Gobind Singh Ji is the 10th Sikh LI.
