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