Shershabadia, also known as Badia are a Bengali Muslim community found in the state of West Bengal, Bihar and Jharkhand in India.

The term is derived from the community's place of origin known as Jawar-e-Sarsabad or Circle/Division of Sarsabad in Mughal Bengal province, which was reduced to a mere Pargana known as Sarsabad/Sersabad later on corrupted into Shershabad/Shershahabad.

[2][4] Towards the beginning of the 20th century, a large number of Shershabadias of Murshidabad (chiefly from Farakka, Samserganj and Suti police stations) gradually migrated to Malda along the upward river-stream of the Ganges to settle in the chars and diyaras due to the erosion of the west bank of the Ganges.

[5][6] From Malda and Murshidabad they migrated upwards along the river-stream and scattered into the various regions of Eastern Bihar and Northern Bengal.

The cause of migration is thought to be due to the oppression of British Government for their engagement in the anti-British activities and the erosion of the Ganges along the left and right banks.

[10] The Shershabadias traditionally resides along the left and right banks of the Ganges from Rajmahal subdivision of Jharkhand up to the Chapai Nawabganj district of Bangladesh's Rajshahi Division.

At present, they live mainly in the surrounding districts of West Bengal and Bihar namely Malda, Murshidabad, Uttar Dinajpur, Purnia, Katihar etc.

[3] They also live in Darjeeling and Uttar Dinajpur districts of West Bengal where they migrated from Malda and Murshidabad.

This drift is aggravated also due to the river bank erosion along the Ganges which flows through the parts of the southern Malda and Northern Murshidabad.

During marriages they perform the rituals like Haldi Makha, Bayna Kora, Geed Gaha, Thubra Khawa etc.
