GOOJURS. the clothes and ornaments of their women and children are of an inferior character, nor do they take employment like the Jats; they probably cannot obtain it on account of their indifferent character. Some of them, however, have enlisted in the local Shekawattee corps, and do good service, but they do not enlist in general service  regiments, and have an objection to go to any distance from their individual localities. Like the Jats they have had one celebrated religious teacher, Dya Ram, who is buried at Jungsalla, and his memory is still held in great reverence. As may be supposed, the Goojurs are entirely uneducated, and affect to despise learning  as unmanly. Very few of them can write or read, and they do not avail themselves of local means of education.
