ABSTRACT

Muhammad butchers are subdivided into Bakrí-Kasáí, or goat killers, and Goru-Kasáí, or cow killers. The latter were formerly regarded as a degraded race, but of late years the two classes have united and freely intermarry. They are all followers of Maulaví Karámat ‘Alí, and are very bigoted, eating with the Kú _tí, but refusing to sit down with the sweeper, Kichak, or Bediyá. Their only title is Mihtar; and their headman, or Sardar, has under him a Naib or A’min.
