Some Lohar communities are indeed recognized as Scheduled Tribes in certain states of India. For instance:
1. In the state of Rajasthan, the Lohar community is classified as a Scheduled Tribe.
2. In the state of Chhattisgarh, the Lohar community (under the sub-group "Lohar (Baiga)") is listed as a Scheduled Tribe.
3. In the state of Madhya Pradesh, certain Lohar subgroups, such as the "Lohar (Bhilala)", "Lohar (Rathia)", and "Lohar (Tadvi)", are designated as Scheduled Tribes.
However, it's important to note that the classification of Lohars as a Scheduled Tribe is not consistent across all regions and states. Some Lohar communities may not be classified as STs in certain areas, while others may be recognized as such.
Therefore, the specific classification of Lohars as a Scheduled Tribe depends on the particular subgroup and the state or region in question. It is always advisable to refer to official government sources or consult with legal experts to obtain accurate information on the classification of different communities.
