The Hodka village is believed to have been set up by the Halepotra clan. 'Halepotra' literally means the 'son or the descendant of Halaji', who is believed to have immigrated from Sindh.
Along with the Halepotra, who are Muslims, the Hindu Meghwals have also settled in Hodka.
The Halepotras – belonging to the bigger group called Maldharis, or cattle breeders - believe their ancestors originated from Saudi Arabia and reached Kachchh via Iran, Baghdad and Sindh in search of pastures for their cattle.
The Meghwals- also known as Marwada Meghwals- believe their ancestors came from Marwar, Rajasthan. They are traditionally leather craftsmen and settled in Banni which was rich in livestock. Today there are 8 nokhs (sub castes) of the Meghwal community residing in Hodka.
