The Doma (Sanskrit: डोम, romanized: Doma, lit. 'sub-group of the Dalit caste, living by singing and music'), also known as Dom, Domra, Domba, Domaka, Dombara and Dombari, are castes, or groups, scattered across India. The Doma/Dom were a caste of drummers.[1] According to Tantra scriptures, the Dom were engaged in the occupations of singing and playing music.[2] Historically, they were considered an untouchable caste called the Dalits and their traditional occupation was the disposal and cremation of dead bodies.[3][4] The Doma were formerly classified as a criminal tribe under the 1870s Criminal Tribes Acts of the British Raj.[5][6] They are in the list of Scheduled caste for Reservation in India in the Indian states of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, Jharkhand and West Bengal.[7][8][9][10][11][12]
