Mayo or Meo or Mewati (Hindi: मेव, Urdu: میو) is a prominent Hindu Rajput origin Muslim tribe from North-Western India, some of whom migrated to Pakistan after independence in 1947. They are also mixed with Meena tribe. Representing the largest part of the Muslim population in Rajasthan and Haryana, the Meos number approximately 20,000,000 (according to 1984 data). They are crowded into the Alwar and Bharatpur districts in the northeastern part of the state, as well as in the Mewat District of the adjacent state of Haryana. The areas of the three districts where they live are collectively called Mewat, a reference to their supremacy in the area. Meos speak Mewati, a language of the Indo-Iranian part of the Indo-European language family, and live in a tribal culture. The majority is uneducated and is currently classed under Other Backward Class (OBC).
