I was reading about the Saansi people. They are considered to be the native of India for whom its not known when they migrated to this land. There majority lived in Punjab.
These Saansi don’t follow any religion even the they don’t worship nature. There is no concept of life after death in them. Saansi language got influenced by other languages specially Punjabi and it does not exist as a separate language today. But many languages got words from Saansi. In pure punjabhi the words ‘Chhora / chhori’ for ‘boy/girl’ are taken from this language.
I want to know whether there is any relationship between Saansi and Dalits?
What religion Dalits follow? What is there known history?
I forgot to mention that these Saansi people eat death animals and reptiles. Due to this other people avoid tointeract (touch) them. Is there any group with characteristics you can identify?
I think difference is with jhatka and without jhatka. In Jhatka blood remained in body of the animal and blood is haram.
Ok, the Saansi character in the novel (leading to this query) explained that fresh meat (even of dead animal) is separable (raisha raisha) and after 2-3 days when dead body starts getting deteriorated, the meat become inseparable, which they eat like delicacy. In Saansi words ‘Baqi log to matti khate hain, asal maza to iss gosht main hai’.
The Saansi people are also involved in making wine and in the novel when a Chohdri went for buying wine, they offered him death animal’s meat.
Dalits have been oppressed, culturally subjugated, and politically marginalized. The principals of untouchability and “purity and pollution” dictate what Dalits are and are not allowed to do; where they are and are not allowed to live, go, or sit; who they can and cannot give water to, eat with, or marry; extending into the minutia of all aspects of daily life… Because of these reasons, they use to eat decay and dead animals.
