Satmalas hills formed part of the territory the Faruqi kingdom, a medieval state in central India. A close association had developed between the Bhil of this region, and the Faruqi state led to the conversion of many of them to Islam. The community are mainly small and medium-sized farmers, with livestock raising as an important subsidiary occupation. Most Nirdhi now speak Marathi, but historically the community spoke its own dialect of the Bhil language. (en)
