The nomadic community is known as the Vedic community. 99 percent of the Bede population are Muslims and 90 percent are illiterate. Among the Bede communities divided into 8 tribes are Malbede, Sapuria, Bajikar, Sandar, Tola, Mirshikari, Burial Sanda and Gain Bede etc. Their main occupations are petty trading, selling amulets and charms, treating snake bites, catching snakes, showing snake plays, selling snakes, spiritual health services, planting horns, selling herbal medicines, performing poetry, monkey plays, magic shows etc.
