Firstly Namasudra is not a caste and naturally they have no caste profession.

Secondly it is a avarna community.The abusing term was Chandala .Varna Hindus preferred the abusing term.

Thirdly A mythology was reported by the community members .Following that very recently the community has declared the name as "Namassej" or originated from Namas . There community religion is different.The son of the Prophet Harichand tried till 1937 to remove the bashing "sudra" tag but failed .

Fourthly in the British period their profession was agriculture and boatman.

Fifthly they lived in separation from both the Muslims and Varna Hindus.After their introduction in varna-Hindu samaj they were forced to take the "sudra" but the varna-Hindus insisted for more abusing "Chandala" term But the British Govt. forced them to accept it officially.But it must be said some Brahmins signed a Vyabastha earlier than the British.

CONCLUSION : THE QUESTION OF CASTE PROFESSION DOES NOT ARISE.
