Question

who are mushars ?what was their taditional occupation? why are referrd dalit among the dalits

Answer 1

Heya friend,

Mushars are the Dalit Communities who survive on the margins of villages in isolated settlements.


Their traditional occupation was hunting out rats from burrows in the fields.


Even today most Mushars continue to be poor and illiterate from labourers. Only about one in ten can read. Until recently , they did not even know that they were entitled to a ration card. They number about 10 lakh each in the states of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh and are referred to as ----- Dalits among the Dalits.









Thanks
