Answer: West Bengal
Notes: The Matua community of West Bengal, comprising Namasudras, a Scheduled Caste, demands the implementation of the Citizenship Amendment Act, 2019. They migrated to India pre- and post-1971, fleeing religious persecution in Bangladesh. Constituting 17.4% of West Bengal's SC population, they are the second-largest group after Rajbanshis. Harichand Thakur founded Matua Mahasangha, advocating against caste oppression and promoting Dalit education and social upliftment.
