The Darbar or Darbar Sahib is an adopted title by the Koli caste in the Indian state of Gujarat for uplifting their social status and position in the Indian society.^[1] During the reign of Maratha Empire and British Indian Empire, some Kolis were jagirs and known as Pallavi Sahib.^[2] Some Kolis who were enjoying some power started calling themselves as Koli Darbar and often used Sang, and Sinh as their middle name.^[3] According to Harald Tambs-Lyche, these were not merely peasants and pastorals like the other majority population of the Koli caste group.^[4]

The Kolis of north Gujarat made several vast gathering under their Koli society organisations to uplift their social status and educational interests in the Indian society.^[5]
