The Kudmi were classified as a Notified Tribe by the British Raj under the terms of the Indian Succession Act introduced in 1865 as they have customary rules of succession.[1][citation needed] Subsequently, in 1913, they were classified as a Primitive Tribe. Despite being a tribe, they were omitted from the list of communities listed as tribes in the 1931 census.[2]
