Cultural Texts of the Dhimal community
Description
Opinions vary regarding the etymology of the name “Dhimal”. While some people assume that it comes from the Nepali term “himal”, another school of thought believes the community is linked to the Dhimasa tribe of Assam. According to Sri Garjan Kumar Mullick, the number of Indian Dhimals is pegged at 1,003, though the same community flourishes in Nepal with around 20,000 members. The Indian Dhimal community is largely based in Hatigisha, Budaganj, and Naxalbari in the Siliguri sub-division of Darjeeling district.
