The British Government started developing tea industry in Dooars in 1870. So they imported labours from Chota Nagpur, Santhal Parganas and Nepal. So the Oraons, Mundas, Kharia, Mahali, Lohara and the Chik-Baraik are also some other tribals who have made Dooars their home.

 

Apart from the above tribal communities now Bengalis, Beharis, Marwaris are also contributing to the population mass in Dooars.
