The Sadgop sub-caste is a Bengali Hindu Yadav (Gopa) caste, [1] found in West Bengal, Odisha, Jharkhand and parts of Bihar state in India.[2] Traditionally they are engaged in dairy-farming and cultivation.[3][4] However, historically Sadgop kings had ruled some parts of Bengal such as Gopbhumi, Amragarh,[5] Narayangarh and Balrampur etc.[6] They are one of the fourteen castes belonging to 'Nabasakh' group.[7]
History and origin
In the 1910s, Sadgops along with Ahirs, Gops, Gopals, and Goalas began claiming kshatriya status based on claimed descent from the legendary king Yadu. The Yadav-kshatriya movement attracted communities in the Gangetic plain who were associated with a combination of cultivation, cattle-herding, and dairy farming.[8]
Present circumstances
The Sadgop consist of a number of sub-divisions. They are an endogamous group and practice gotra exogamy. The Sadgop are mainly a landholding community, but many Sadgop have settled in Kolkata and other cities of West Bengal. Their own community organization is named as Bangiya Sadgop Samiti.[2]
