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 as a Santal by the Britishers and their proximity to the Kudumi and Bengali people.[1][2][3]
