Chhimba
Chhimba are variously described as a caste community and a Sikh clan of India.
Their traditional occupation in the Samba district of India was dying and hand-printing calico fabric. It was probably some of these people who moved to areas of Himachal Pradesh, where they created a somewhat different style of printing cloth that was much favoured by the Gaddi people of the region.
In the 20th century, some Chhimba tried without success to improve their poor socio-economic standing by claiming to be Tank Kshatriyas.
