The Jalia Kaibarta were originally aborigines who later became part of the Hindu community. They are a scheduled caste.
The Jalia Kaibarta of West Bengal speak, read and write in Bengali. Some live in Bangladesh or India's northeastern states of Tripura, Assam and Arunachal Pradesh.
Fishing is their main work. Some of them work in laboring and agriculture.
In Tripura, fishing is their main work. Some are teachers and others do admin work. Their education level is improving.
Hinduism is their religion. Like other Hindus the Jalia Kaibarta people will worship whatever deity they believe will help them in their daily lives.
The Jalia Kaibarta people need to find a way to enjoy the blessings of the only Savior, Jesus Christ.
Pray that the Jalia Kaibarta people in Bangladesh will have a spiritual hunger and find satisfaction in Jesus Christ.
Pray for workers to go to the Jalia Kaibarta people and be a blessing to their community.
Pray for a church planting movement to flourish among this people group.
