The Kewat, also spelled Kevat, is a Hindu caste, found in the states of Assam, Bihar, Tripura, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal in India. They are the traditional boatmen of northern India, and also in neighbouring country Nepal.

Origin

The name "Kevata" was first appeared in the Pillar Edict V of Emperor Ashoka.[2]

In India: Present circumstances

The Kewat are among the 17 OBC communities of Uttar Pradesh that have been proposed for Scheduled Caste status by the Samajwadi Party-controlled Government. However, this proposal, which relates to votebank politics and has been made in the past, has been stayed by the courts; a prior attempt was also rejected by the Government of India.[3][4]

Kewats are recognised as Scheduled Caste in the states of Assam, West Bengal and Tripura as Keot, Keyot or Jalkeot.[5][6][7]

With a population of 937,861, Kewats constitute 0.7174% of Bihar's population in the 2023 caste census.[1]

In Nepal

The Central Bureau of Statistics of Nepal classifies the Kewat as a subgroup within the broader social group of Madheshi Other Caste.[8] At the time of the 2011 Nepal census, 153,772 people (0.6% of the population of Nepal) were Kewat. The frequency of Kewat by province was as follows:

The frequency of Kewat was higher than national average (0.6%) in the following districts:[9]
