		+
		+	This name, properly given to a sergeant of police, is in Eastern Bengal the designation of a low class of Mussulmans who, chiefly found along the banks of the Hilsamari river, are also known as "Nalwah" from using the Nal grass in the manufacture of baskets.
		+
		+	They are undoubtedly an offshoot from the Hajjam division, and having adopted a new occupation, as a natural consequence, claim a higher position than the parent stock. The Hajjams eat with the Dafa'dars, but the Dafa'dars decline to deal with the Hajjams on a footing of equality.
		+
		+	The men and women make rice bins and coarse mats, called "chatai," with Nal grass, brought from the Sunderbuns by themselves, or by traders.
		+
		+	Though a despised community they do not permit their women to appear in public, and still cling, uninfluenced by the
		+	preaching of the modern doctors, to their old ancestral beliefs and customs.
		+
		+	Their headman is styled Mu'tabar, but he does not receive, as is usual, a present of a turban at weddings. Furthermore, an annual subscription to the Panchait is not levied, but the Mulla gets a fee at weddings and funerals.
