_Joharia_ .-- (From _johar_, a form of salutation.) Subcaste of Dahaits in Bilaspur.
_Johri_ .-- A subcaste of Rajput.
_Jokhara_ .-- A small class of Muhammadans who breed leeches and apply them to patients, the name being derived from _jonk_, a leech.

They were not separately classified at the census, but a few families of them are found in Burhanpur, and they marry among themselves, because no other Muhammadans will marry with them.

In other parts of India leeches are kept and applied by sweepers and sometimes by their women.
