Chauharmal
Folk deity / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Chauharmal" or "Chuharmal" or "Veer Chauharmal" was a folk hero who was later apotheosized by the members of Dusadh caste. Chauharmal was an illegal son of a Dusadh woman Bichhiya Rani and a Bhumihar landlord. The story of Chauharmal within Dusadh folklore is an empowering message which gives the Dalit community a sense of struggle against upper caste.[1][2]
