a Hindu, sect founded by Rai Das, a disciple of Ramanand. It is said to be confined to the chamars, or workers in hides and in leather, and among the very lowest of the Hindu mixed tribes. This circumstance, as Prof. H. H. Wilson thinks, renders it difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain whether the sect still exists.
