[edit] this article does not represent Koli community at large!

There are more Koli in Gujarat than Maharashtra. Infact, Koli community can be found all over India. There is a NGO called Akhil Bharatiya Koli Samaj (All India Koli Association). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dcpatel (talk • contribs) 22:39, 27 April 2007 (UTC).
