Tili is a Hindu bussiness and landowning caste, found in the state of Bihar and West Bengal in India.[1] In 1999 court recognise Tili caste as a socially and educationally advanced trading community [1]

History and origin

The Tili caste belongs to West Bengal and Bihar. Tilis speak in Angika and Bengali. Tilis are now found mainly in Bhagalpur and Banka district of Bihar, and also in Bankura, Hooghly and Midnapore districts of West Bengal .[2][3]

Present circumstances

The Tilis have three sub-divisions Dadash, Ponchokuliya and the Ekadash. They maintain the custom of clan exogamy.

Tilis was included in the list of 177 "backward classes" for the state of West Bengal by Mandal Commission, but the state government hasn't yet recognised them as such, and they still belong to General category.[4][5]
