Muslim Halwai

The Muslim Halwai (Urdu: حلواى ) are a Muslim community found in Pakistan, and in Uttar Pradesh state, India. They were former members of the Hindu Halwai caste, who have converted to Islam.〔People of India Uttar Pradesh Volume XLII Part Three by K S Singh page 1042 Manohar Publications〕 Halva means ''sweets'' in Urdu and ''Halvai'' or ''Halwai'' are sweet makers. Their preferred self-designation is Shaikh.
==History and origin==

The Halwai are a community associated with the manufacture of sweeatmeats. Their name comes from the Arabic word Halva, which means a sweatmeat. The Halwai claim descent from Bhalandan, who belonged to the Vaishya caste. Like other Vaish groups that have converted to Islam, they belong to the Shaikh category.〔People of India Uttar Pradesh Volume XLII Part Three by K S Singh page 597 Manohar Publications〕
They have the following subdivision, the Purbi or eastern and Pachaon or western group, and speak Urdu, as well as local dialects of Hindi. These sub-divisions are further divided into clans, known as ''biradaris'', which claim descent from a common ancestor. Important biradaris include the Kanaujia, Jaiswar, Allahabadi, Hajipuria and Makhdumpuria. Marriages are preferred within the biradari, and only rarely will take place outside the community.
