gurnwara, or gubaar
Ill mannered


Explanation:
It seems that it is 'ganwaar', which means a person who not a cultured one. Still it needs to elaborated, in what context it is being used.

disagree  jamshed: "Ganwaar", would mean "IL-LITERATE" & /or "INNOCENT", Jamshed Writer
6 hrs
  -> You may be correct but In daily kindly observe that how and when this term is used. Even literate could be termed as Ganwar.
disagree  Ritu Bhanot: You are taking the term as a derogatory reference which is usual but it's just a question of how one views certain things.

rustic, country cousin


Explanation:
I am assuming that the word you have posted is गंवार (ganwar). In Hindi it means a rustic, a country cousin, a person who is uncouth in his manners.

Ganwar


Explanation:
Yes, I do agree that even a literate person could be called a Ganwar & that is exactly what I wanted to convey.
Very often a Literate person may show his/her inability to understand either simple commonsense instructions, a joke or even a comment or a statement made in a different culture.for example:Here in the United States, many times people will respond with-"Get out of Here"-, which taken literally means "LEAVE" but in the proper context it means, You must be joking OR you cannot really mean that, whatever you are sayingOR it is an astonishing OR incredulous Statement.
