Tanti
The Tanti bania (also anglicised as Tanty, Tantee, Tatwa,Tantubay, Tantubai, Tati,) are a Hindu vaishya cloth merchant community in India. The greatest concentration is believed to be in the states of Gujarat, Maharashtra, Jharkhand, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, Assam and Odisha. The community is not very concentrated because their designation was defined based on their occupation rather than particular beliefs or group identity.
