Further, group heterogeneity also supports a startified order. Constant contact with others like Bhils and Hindus has let to several changes in the social order of this tribe. Today Garasias are divided into Rajput Garasia, Garasia and Bhil Garasia. Rajput Garasia are the outcome of cultural blending of Rajputs and Garasias with the adoption of Rajput clan names.

“Nobody can write the life of a man but those who have eat and drunk and lived in social intercourse with him.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
“Yet whatever gains I had, these I have come to regard as loss because of Christ. More than that, I regard everything as loss because of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things, and I regard them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but one that comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God based on faith.”
—Bible: New Testament, Philippians 3:7-9.
