Who they are

The Mallah Dhawa are a community traditionally connected to the waters and fishing in South Asia, primarily concentrated in Bengali-speaking regions. Historically known for their work as boatmen and fishermen on rivers and canals, they maintain a strong communal identity shaped by their riverside way of life and Islamic faith, which governs their family life and customs.
