Hi,
I would like to learn something more about denotified tribes.Lodhas and Sabars are 2 denotified tribes of W.B.In the colonial era these 2 tribes have been notified as criminal tribes as they resorted to theft sometimes to meet their needs.They are the residents of the Paschim Medinipur district of W.B.
