The Tanti are a Hindu caste found in the state of Bihar in India. Now the caste "Tanti" is extincted and it is underlisted in "Paan or Swaasi" 〔''People of India Bihar'' Volume XVI, Part Two, edited by S Gopal & Hetukar Jha, pp. 914-916, Seagull Books〕 In July 2015, Tanti (also known as ''Tatwa'') was granted the status of Schedule Castes in Bihar.〔(EGazette Bihar :: Recent Gazette ). Egazette.bih.nic.in. Retrieved on 2015-07-14.〕 Earlier, the group was classified as Most Backward Class (MBC).〔(Eyes wide shut: Dalit votes welcome in Bihar, not their woes )〕
== Origin ==
The word tanti is derived from the Hindi word tant, which means a loom. They were traditionally weavers, and are one of the many communities found in South Asia, traditionally associated with this craft. According to their traditions, they were created by the Hindu god Shiva from his tears. The community is found in south Bihar, and district of Ranchi in Jharkhand.〔
The Tanti are endogamous and consist of a number of totemistic clans, the main ones being the Nag, Sal and Kachchap. They are further divided into uncha or pure Tanti, and the nicha or impure Tanti. These two sub-divisions do not intermarry. They use Tanti and Tantubai as their surnames. The Tanti speak Panchpargania dialect of Hindi. Their traditions are similar to other Hindu weaving castes, such as the Koshta and Tattama.〔
