They specialised in the tracking of thieves by means of their footprints. Pagi was a title equal to the Detective conferred on the Kolis of Talpada and Chunwalia subcastes. In some cases, Kolis of the Pagi title were treated as of lower status in comparison to those Kolis who were Kotwal, because a small number of Pagi Kolis worked as village watchmen, maintaining order and securing the village at night. Koli Pagis stretched their role as guardsman, police officers and maintain the position in government to use their title proper as Pagi. The Koli caste is 24% of the total population of Gujarat They are classified as Other Backward Class (OBC) Kshatriya for their work as Pagi seemed to be a warrior class. (en)
