1. 2 Culture of Musahar Community

Culture covers manners, behaviors etc. of the members of a society. The society is oriented by some fix values, norms etc. which are the factors of progress and educational achievement. And the society has been bounded by its own culture which contains several specific norms, values, thinking angles etc. In the same way, the Musahar community has also its own culture which can be the prominent factors for its educational achievement. They (Musahars) use their all usual materials which are depended on their traditions, community and profession. In the Maithili community, the same language is spoken differently by different ethnic groups. In this regard, Non-Standard Maithili which is used by the Musahars is not accepted in high caste people. They (high caste people) use Standard Maithili when they have to speak to upper / high caste people and in return they have to get responses in Non-Standard Maithili by high caste people. So, they are deprived of progress because of two main reasons: one is their living style and another is their language which inhibits their all kinds of progress and educational achievement. Education is aggrandizer and Musahar community is deprived of basic or higher education and the production of high quality human resources.
