a group of low Ma¬homedans, believed to have been originally a subdivision of the Bediyas, whom the orthodox do not recognise as members of the brotherhood of Islam. For this reason the Abdal marry among themselves, and the community is virtually a oaste. The character¬istic occupation of the men is to castrate bullocks, and their females act as midwives.
