1. Evolution of caste system in India:
Amoung Hindus there are four ‘VARANAS’ [Sections based on the birth] viz. Brahman, Kshtriya, Vaishya and Shudra. Theses sections used to perform the social duties prescribed according to ancient traditions. Later on these varnas were subdivided related to details required for the performance of the professions. “SHIMPI’ which means a tailor, fully adopted the profession of tailoring clothes.
Because of technical advancement and unrestricted education other persons also acquired the skill of tailoring and started dong the work of traditional ‘SHIMPI’.
2. Evolution of sub caste (specially Namdeo Shimpi):
At one time all the persons doing one profession used to remain tied to gather by way of ‘caste’. Such groups were scattered all over the country. The groups doing the job of tailoring were known as ‘Shimpi’. They were in existence even before ‘SAINT NAMDEO’. During the years 1300 ‘SAINT NAMDEO’ who was an eminent devotee of the God ‘Vitthal’
[also known as ‘Pandurang’] toured whole of India. His verses and the art of discourse on the devotion to ‘Vitthal’ was so extraordinary that the people took pride in associating themselves with him. Since he was a tailor by profession, every one engaged in the profession of tailoring tried to follow him and known as ‘Namdeo Shimpi’.
3. History of the caste Namdeo Shimpi:
As days passed on the people moved from places to places to carry on the profession. Those who went to sea coast [known as ‘Kokan’] were known as ‘Koknasta’. Those who settled on the Deccan platue [known as ‘Desh’ in vernacular] were known as ‘Deshasta’. Many of the professionals came to Mumbai [earlier known as Bombay] in search of work, because during first and second war the job for manufacturing military uniforms was in high demand. The region in which they settled had a high impact on the food habits. Those who settled in the coastal region had fish and rice as their staple food.
