ABSTRACT

The Muhammadan weaver belongs to a different ‘qaum’, or division, to the Juláha, the former weaving fine Jámadání, or embroidered cloth, the latter only coarse muslins. These two classes eat and drink together, but never intermarry. The Tántí, moreover, resents being called Juláha, and is usually addressed as Kárígar, or Jámadání Tántí.
