"Tyagis were, and have been, a degenerate and helpless caste, remaining absolutely indifferent to their primary occupation of agriculture and thus were gradually deprived of land by the other martial tribes. It was easy for the muslim invaders to convert the degenerate Tagas and the economically helpless Gujars to the fold of Islam." - Geographical Reiview of India by The Geographical Society of India (p. 16)
"The Tyagi are an agricultural caste which claims to be priestly Brahmins. Literally the word Tyagi means 'those of have renounced', they trace the origin of their caste name to their having renounced three Brhamanical functions, viz. the study of vedas, functioning as priests, and acceptance of alms. Muslim Tyagis are converts from the times of Jehangir and Aurungzeb and are originally kin to their hindu counterparts." - Indias Changing Villages by S.C. Dube
