He was born a Hindu. But despite belonging to an educated family, Bhavan Nath Paswan had to live a life of shame and ridicule. He was a chamar , lowest of the low according to the Hindu caste system. Paswan remembers the years of suffering.

AFAIK Paswan's are not Balmikis (name the mentioned group use for themselves now).
Seems like another manufactured "dalit" story that TOI routinely comes out with.
