Hi Jyoti,
ReplyDeleteI am Kaushik Sharma from Jiaganj, currently residing at Hyderabad. I am close relative of Kamal Chand Pandey. Thanks for this nice community site of yours. A smal point here though. The concept of Shaharwalli is not neccesarily restricted to the Jains of Murshidabad. By and large to me it is a cultural identity. It is niche culture shared by few , appreciated by many, but the highlight being people with this tahzeeb prefers to identify themselves as shaharwali.
Regards,
Kaushik
Hi Kaushik,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment. What do you do in Hyderabad and where do you reside there. I come to Hyderabad many times for business purpose.
I knew Mr. Pandey and he was a nice man.
Shaharwali culture was developed by the Shwetambar Jain community of Murshidabad. Of course, Pandey and Khawas were part and parcelk of that community.
Digambar Jain alias saraogi community was not the part of that culture because they came much later.
Basically, it was a non-bengali culture in Bengal. Pandey and Khawas community also came from Rajasthan along with Jain community, but they were fewer in number in comparison to Jain.
Thanks,
Jyoti Kothari
