ABSTRACT

This singular race, found all over Eastern Bengal, is more numerous in Tipperah and Noakhally than Dacca, being everywhere reviled by the Hindus, without any satisfactory reason. The only grounds given by natives for abusing and ill-treating Jogí’s are that the starch of boiled rice (Már) is used by them in weaving, while the Tántí use parched rice starch (Káí), and that they bury their dead.
