Deswali Majhi

Deswali Majhi is a Hinduized section of Santal tribe,^[1] distributed in western region of West Bengal and eastern region of Jharkhand in India. The community took shape after the great Santal rebellion (1855–56) by adoption of Hinduism due to oppression faced as a Santal by the Britishers and their proximity to the Bengali people.^[2]^[3]^[4]
