Badhak; Badhik.—(Sans. Vadhaka, a murderer.)—A vagrant criminal tribe
of whom the last census shows only a small number in Mathura and
Pilibhît. But there can be little doubt that these returns are
incorrect, or the present Badhiks have been classed in some other way.
They appear to be closely allied to the Bâwariyas and Baheliyas.
According to the earliest account of them by Mr. Shakespeare [178] they
were originally outcastes of Musalmân as well as Hindu tribes, the
majority, however, being Râjputs.
