Muslim Kahar : ウィキペディア英語版 | Muslim Kahar The Kahar are a Muslim community found in north east India and Bangladesh. They are a community of palanquin bearers and agriculturists, and are Muslim converts from the Hindu Kahar caste. The Kahar are also known as Sardars, especially in Murshidabad District.〔Marginal Muslim Communities in India edited by M.K.A Siddiqui pages 331-344〕 ==Origin==
The Muslim Kahar claim to be descended from Pashtun settlers, who came to Bengal in the early middle ages. They were traditionally a community of palanquin bearers, an occupation no longer practiced by the community. The word Kahar is said to be derived from the Sanskrit word shandha kara, meaning those who carry things on their shoulders. They are fairly widely distributed in West Bengal and Bangladesh, in particular in the districts of Murshidabad, 24 Parganas and Nadia. The community speak Bengali and are Sunni Muslims.〔Marginal Muslim Communities in India edited by M.K.A Siddiqui pages 331-344〕
