I am shradha Thombre, Advocate by profession and belongs to Mang / Matang Caste..I was going through your this page on Mang Caste..and shocked when found wrong information by you that Mang caste peoples was criminals..How can you describe them as a criminals.. nobody can born criminal and if one person from community is criminal ..we can not call entire community as criminal. we are living in liberalized country where constitution gives us all fundamentals rights to live in dignity and your description of calling any community as criminal is full fledged abuse and miscarriage of humanity as well as law. I apologize if I have said anything wrong or protective..and humbly request you to edit and delete the word Criminals from the introduction of article..49.248.16.106 (talk) 08:16, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

Mang (caste) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mangs in western India (c. 1855-1862). The Mang or Matang (Minimadig in Gujarat and Rajasthan) community is an Indian caste, historically associated with low-status or ritually impure professions such as village musicians, cattle castraters, leather curers, midwives, hangmen, undertakers, and criminals.[1] In the modern day they are listed as a Scheduled Caste, a designation which has replaced the former term Untouchable.Their origins lie in the Narmada Valley of India.
