Sir,

Sub :- BCWD – Hyderabad district – Caste clarification regarding issue

of Noor Bash B.C.’B’ caste certificate – Reg.

Ref :- Your Lr.Rc.No.D6/D5/4479/01, dt.26-12-05.

*****

With reference to your letter cited it is to inform that the surnames have not mentioned in Anantharaman commission report in respect of details of caste and communities i.e. Dudekula, Laddaf, Pinjari, Noorbasha etc. But the Anantharaman Commission report most of this class of Muslims are converts from lower ranks. They are also known as Laddaf, Pinjari and Noorbasha. The traditional occupation was Cotton-ginning, making of Beds, Pillows, Nawar-Weaving etc. The Cotton mills have adversely affected their profession and they became economically poor. They generally follow Muslim traditions, they observe Hindu traditions also in some respects. They are treated as a separate class even by the Muslims and they are not allowed to intermarry with the other Muslims. They are looked down low in Society both by the Muslims and Hindus. As this community is looked down even by the other section of Muslims and in educationally backward, it merits inclusion in the backward class list.

Hence, in view of the above, I request you to take necessary action and also to local enquiry of this caste and issue the caste certificates of the genuineness of the B.C. candidates.

Yours faithfully,

Sd-

With reference to your letter cited I am to inform you that Dudekula Community is regarded as a Muslim community but it is included in the Backward Class category because of their social status. Since by religion they are Muslims, Dudekula community has to be regarded as a minority community for the purposes of election as co-opted member of Mandal Parishad / Zilla Parishad.
