Values
Mohyals are paragons of valor and virtuosity and are always ready to sacrifice their lives for the sake of dharma or the nation. They have fought determinately against fanaticism, religious bigotry and social injustice. They have adapted themselves to the successive rules of the Mughals, the Sikhs and the British with no recorded instance of treachery.
Mohyals abhor 3 things : ‘the taking of charity’, ‘the handling of scales(trading)’ and ‘living a life of laziness’. Though numerically unimportant, they are a stirring and enterprising race, and frequently rise to prominence in the service of the government which they enter in large numbers.
They are remarkable among the Hindu population in being hereditary agriculturists seldom practicing trade and specially despising the life of indolence led by the ordinary Brahmin who lives by charity and with whom the Mohyals, though admitting a common origin, strongly object to be classed with.
