What is "dusadh"

The Dusadh (also known as Paswan) are a Hindu community generally found in the states of Northern India ( Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Bihar, Uttarakhand and Delhi) and few parts of Eastern India ( Jharkhand, West Bengal) and Nepal.

Historically a pastoral community, many Dusadhs fought on behalf of the East India Company during the 18th century.
