Scheduled Caste "Pasi" Community: Gotras

The Pasi (also Pashi) are a Scheduled Caste (SC) community primarily in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, West Bengal, and Jharkhand — not typically associated with Southern India or the Devanga community.

Traditional Occupation

Toddy tapping (palm wine), agriculture, labor.

Common Gotras (Exogamous Clans)

• Kashyap
• Bharadwaj
• Gautam
• Vashishtha
• Kaushik
• Shandilya
• Atri
• Agastya

Gotra lists vary by sub-group and region. The previous answer incorrectly linked Pasi to Devanga (a weaving caste in South India). Pasi and Devanga are distinct communities.
