Iraqi Biradri
The word Birâdrî (Persian: برادري) means "Brotherhood" originating with the word "Birâdar" meaning "Brother" in Persian. In India and Pakistan it is used to denote a number of social strata in the caste system among South Asian Muslims.

The Iraqi Biradri is not currently relevant to people presently living in Iraq, but a reference to a group in India and Pakistan of Iraqi origin. Today, they consist of people who migrated from eastern UP to larger cities in Uttar Pradesh (UP), as well as other parts of North India and Pakistan. Uttar Pradesh (उत्तर प्रदेश اتر پردیش pronounced, Translation: Northern Province) referred to as '''U Geography Northern India lies mainly on continental India and a very small part of it lies on the Indian peninsula Pakistan () officially the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, is a country located in South Asia, Southwest Asia, Middle East and

Theories of Origin
Most members of this caste claim that the name Iraqi is an ethnonym based on their Iraqi ancestry. For a topic outline on this subject see List of basic Iraq topics. In Persian, and Urdu, the terminal 'i' is what is called in Arabic morphology "yâ' an-nisba" (ياء النسبة) meaning "the letter yâ of association". Urdu ( ur '''{{Nastaliq اردو}}''' trans Urdū, historically spelled Ordu) is a Central Indo-Aryan language Urdu is a standardised Though most Iraqis of the Subcontinent speak Urdu, gravestones from as far back as the 1800's found in UP and Bihar are branded with both Persian and liturgical Arabic.

There is another story, possibly forged to derogate the Iraqis, that claims the term comes from `Arq (عرق) which in Arabic means root or essence and from this is the supposed morphological derivative of `Arqî (عرقي). It is a term alleged to be used for distillers of alcohol and is considered an insult according to Islamic tradition as alcohol is forbidden in Islam. Others have postulated that in the past people of this caste used to work in sugar factories or in some other similar trade and got their name from that. These theories of alcohol distillers and sugar caners are refuted by linguistics alone as `Arqî is a morphologically incorrect usage. In Farsi a distiller would be `Arq-kâsh (عرق كاش) and not `Arqî. In Arabic it is even more erroneous as `Arqî means "Ethnic". Thus, the only linguistically and historically sound conclusion is that the name of the Biradri comes from the obvious "Iraqi" meaning only "One from Iraq".
