Castes and Tribes of Southern India/Dhor
Dhor. — In the Madras Census Report, 1901, a few (164) individuals were returned as " Dhēr, a low caste of Marāthi leather workers." They were, I gather from the Bombay Gazetteer, Dhors or tanners who dwell in various parts of the Bombay Presidency, and whose home speech, names and surnames seem to show that they have come from the Marātha country.
