https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanjar#:~:text=Kanjar is a hindu tribe,almost all also speak Punjabi.

 As far as I know the word Kanjar/Kanjari always stood for pimp/prostitute,person of low moral character. Never heard of this Bhai Mardana Ji connection. Can I get a source to look this up?

 

In the Colonial period, Kanjaris were listed under the Criminal Tribes Act, 1871, as a tribe "addicted to the systematic commission of non-bailable offenses."

A recent study found that: "A Kanjari hears the music of tabla and ghungroo from the day of her birth and must begin her formal education before her non-Kanjari friends start going to school."
