The Bali are a clan of the Mohyal Brahmin community, who are found in North India, particularly the states of Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab and Delhi (after the partition).
Early history[]
The Mohyals' were once priests that resided near the ancient river of Saraswati, that used to flow from the Himalayans and down to the Arabian sea.[1] However, during the Vedic Period Bhagwan Parsuram, a famous warrior sage militarised these priests into fierce warriors that would go on to unify the areas of India and defend it from many invasions.[2]
