The Patuas are an artisan group residing in India and parts of Bangladesh in the state of West Bengal, Bihar, Jharkhand, and Odisha.

Explanation:

  • Many Patuas, but others are Christians, are Hindus. Hindu Patuas, along with some other areas of West Bengal, are present in the Kalighat and Kumartuli regions of Calcutta, where they've been diminished in size.
  • Many Patuas are thought to be converting from Hinduism to Islam. Nevertheless, both Hindu and Islamic practices are observed. During various points in time, they may also have been Buddhists.
  • Scholars argue that the Patuas, initially Muslims, were excluded from the Hindu community for failure to follow their trade by canonical proceedings.
