Who they are

The Basith are a Dalit community originating from northern India, with a presence in the Jammu region. Speakers of the Dogri language, they preserve traditional customs linked to agropastoral life and manual trades. Historically marginalized by caste-based social structures, they express their faith through regional Hindu traditions, maintaining close kinship ties and strong community solidarity.
