A social group recently organized a march with members of the Matua community in Habra, North 24-Parganas, West Bengal.
The protest was against the proposed Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bengal, which the community fears may affect their voting rights.
The Matua community is a marginalized Hindu sect with a strong socio-religious identity in Bengal, especially in West Bengal and Bangladesh.
Founded by Harichand Thakur in the 1860s as a response to caste discrimination in Hindu society.
Most Matua members belong to the Namashudra caste, traditionally considered lower-caste.
The community’s teachings emphasize social equality, human dignity, and empowerment through education and religious reform.
Post-Partition (1947), many Matua families migrated to India to escape persecution, though many stayed in Bangladesh.
Today, Matuas are the second largest Scheduled Caste (SC) population in West Bengal.
