Answer 2

Answer:

The correct option is - B) Gaddis

Explanation:

• The Gaddi are a semi-pastoral, Indo-Aryan ethnolinguistic tribe living primarily in the Indian states of Himachal Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir.
• The Gaddis are also a semi-nomadic, semi-agricultural, semi-pastoral tribe. They have a specific culture that is expressed through language, dress, food, marriage, song and religious celebrations.
• Gaddis has its heavenly history rooted in its endemic culture. To preserve their cultural heritage, they take pride in their culture and maintain cultural consistency from generation to generation.
• 'Gaddi' is the language of the Gaddi community and 'Tankri' is the script used by the elders of the community. The origin of the Gaddi tribe is unclear, and they also  believe  their ancestors fled the plains for lack of security or foreign invasions.
• The fact of its origin is found in popular myths in the state. Gaddi's nomenclature comes from the word 'Gaderan', the native word for the mountainous regions of Himachal Pradesh.
• The term 'Gaddi' refers to a group of a special category of individuals forming an exogamous association of Brahmins, Rajputs, Khatris and other castes whose traditional main occupations have been farming and herding goats.
• The word 'Gaddi' was derived from a Sanskrit word 'Gabdika', an ancient tribal republic mentioned in Panini's Ashtadhyayi, where the current Gaddis live. Some opinions are common among these people, such as Kailash is the Throne (Gadi) of Lord Shiva.
• Therefore, these people who took refuge and settled in Brahmaur were also known as Gaddis.
