Bedia (caste)

Not to be confused with the Muslim tribe of Eastern India, Bedia (tribe).

The Bedia is a caste in India. They believe that they originally lived at Mohdipahar in Hazaribagh district and have descended from the union of a Vedbansi prince with a Munda girl. A legend has heard that they had their own 'Vedas' and hence it is called Bediya. Their Veda was different from the Vedas of Aryans.
