Sarki (ethnic group)
The Sarki (Nepali: सार्की) are Khas people found in the region of the Himalayas and referred to in the Nepali and Thakali languages.[1]
The clan are traditionally shoemakers and tanners[1] and in the rigid Hindu caste system of Sikkim they are treated as being a polluting community.[2]
