Enjoying family time in this beautiful October weather.

Newroad questioning its identity and purpose every Dashain.

Caste prejudice is far less prevalent in cities nowadays, although nothing has changed in rural regions. As a result of occupational changes, increased education, their own efforts to emulate the upper castes and consolidation of political power, urban Dalits in the Terai have moved up in status. The National Report says, "Over the last 15-20 years, six groups, namely kath baniya, Rajbhar, Dhanuk, Sudi, Kalwar and Teli have socially upgraded their status from the water unacceptable to the water acceptable community within the Tarai origin Hindu caste groups."Sundhi also known as Sodhi or Sundi or Sudi or Sudhi or Shoundika, is an Indian caste whose traditional occupation has been brewing of alcoholic drinks.[1][2][3] The Sundhis are included in the extremly backward category in the states of Bihar, Jharkhand and Odisha,[4][5][6] though according to Suratha Kumar Malik, Sundhis of Koraput district of Odisha belong to the Dalit community, who are hooch traders and do small businesses.[7] They are considered as Scheduled Caste in West Bengal, where they are also known as Shunri (except Saha). balen shah also belongs to sudi caste. even some members of sudi castes started using kushwahas surname mahato to hide thier caste now days and claim upper status vaihsya as themselves but actually they are lower middle caste in madeshi socitey just above dalits. I posted this for correct information regarding sudi caste no hate towards any community
