chamar

plural chamars · alternative chamaar · alternative choomar · alternative chumar

1. A member of a caste who works in leather and agriculture; a tanner or leather-worker.

   It is not strictly a native patent, though chamars of the skin and hide castes can, if irritated, despatch a Sending which sits on the breast of their enemy by night and nearly kills him.
