When asked for the name of their caste they not infrequently say that they are Rajputs; but they allow widows to remarry, and their social customs and position are generally the same as those of the Barhais.

Both names of the caste are functional, being derived from the Hindi _kund_, and the Arabic _kharat_, a lathe.

Some of them abstain from flesh and liquor, and wear the sacred thread, merely with a view to improve their social position.

The Kunderas make toys from the _dudhi_ (_Holarrhena antidysenterica_) and huqqa stems from the wood of the _khair_ or catechu tree.

The toys are commonly lacquered, and the surface is smoothed with a dried leaf of the _kevara_ tree.
