Dûsar (dûsra, “second”), a sub-caste of Banyas numerous in parts of the

Allahâbâd and Lucknow Divisions. In the returns of the Census of 1881

great confusion was caused by the amalgamation of the Dûsar Banyas with

the Dhûsar or Bhârgava, who claim Brâhmanical origin. Even in the

returns of 1891 it is not certain that this error has been completely

eliminated. The Dûsars rank low among Banyas, admit widow marriage, and

are said to be a branch of the Ummar sub-caste descended from a second

wife, whence their name. From Cawnpur the curious rule is reported that

the parents of the bride pay a dowry, the maximum of which is Rs. 211

of the pice current in Râê Bareli, which are worth about eleven annas.

From this it is assumed that Râê Bareli was an early settlement of the

Dûsars.
