CAP 48.8

Hitherto, the fishermen have been label-led as impious Sudras for their trading the in fish. Though the high castes take fish in some provinces but the sight of a fisherman in society makes them nauseate. In all other departments the represen-tation of the Kashyap Rajputs is pitiable. The Government had started Fishery development De-partments in every province but the community with the knack for this trade is being completely ig-nored. The men who are sent to other countries for training do not belong to this community. Every responsible post in this Dept. falls to the lot of a “Verma” or a “Sharma”.
