"Mang (caste)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Māng musicians with drums (Russell, 1916)
The Mang or Matang (Minimadig in Gujarat and Rajasthan) community is an Indian caste, historically associated with low-status or ritually impure professions such as village musicians, cattle castraters, leather curers, midwives, hangmen, undertakers, and criminals.[1] In the modern day they are listed as a Scheduled Caste, a designation which has replaced the former term Untouchable."
Does this caste now also include vintage car flippers?
