Kanmailia The Kanmailia are a Muslim community found in the state of Uttar Pradesh in India. Their preferred self-designation is Shaikh.〔People of India Uttar Pradesh Volume XLII Part Two edited by A Hasan & J C Das pages 714 to 717 Manohar Publications〕 == Origin ==
The Kanmailia are a Muslim occupational caste, that traditionally specialized in cleaning ear wax. They get their name from two Hindi words, ''kan'' meaning ears and ''mailia'' meaning dirt. During the period of British colonial rule, the Kanmailia were declared to be a criminal tribe under the Criminal Tribes Act. After independence, they were denotified in 1952, when the Criminal Tribes Act was replaced with the Habitual Offenders Act, but the community continues to carry considerable social stigma. Little is own about the origin of this community. Their own traditions speak of the community descending from early Arab settlers to India, and the community prefer the self designation Shaikh, a name traditionally associated with those groups who claim an Arab ancestry in India. They are found mainly in Lucknow, and the districts of Ghazipur and Etawah.〔People of India Uttar Pradesh Volume XLII Part Two edited by A Hasan & J C Das pages 714 to 717 Manohar Publications〕
