The Turuk Pasi are a Muslim community found in the state of Bihar in India.
Turuk Pasi and Hindu Pasi are two completely different communities and should not be considered the same caste. Although they share a similar name, their identities, cultural backgrounds, and community histories are different. Having the same or similar name does not mean they belong to the same caste or community. Turuk Pasi and Hindu Pasi are distinct identities, and it is important not to confuse or equate the two simply because of their shared name.
History and origin
The Turuk Pasi are converts to Islam from the Pasi. There traditional occupation was tapping toddy from palm trees. They are Sunni Muslims and found in the districts of Patna, Hajipur, Saran and Muzaffarpur. The Turuk Pasi speak Bhojpuri and Urdu. Little is known about the circumstances of their conversion to Islam.[1]
Present circumstances
The traditional occupation of the Turuk Pasi remains toddy-tapping. They are issued licences by the government to collect toddy. Some work on daily wages as labourers. Rearing of cattle and poultry are important subsidiary occupations.[1]
