The Dusadh “My people are the Dusadh of India. We typically endure difficult living conditions due to economic hardship, and are among the lowest caste according to our surrounding culture. Because of our low socioeconomic and cultural status, we have little opportunity to earn a living and often can be found seeking alms.”
