Kagaji Jati

Those who made paper from cloth, barks and other things in Chandradwip, were called Kagaji. It was a profession for certain people. The kagajis lived near capital Madhabpasha and probably settled during the time of Ramchandra. The place of their settlement later came to be known as kagajipara. Most of then left this profession from 19th Century when paper became cheap and easily available due to the Renaissance. The kagajis made three types of paper called kharikulia, Lechi Majna, and Boro Majna.
