Answers
Answer: please check your question
Explanation:
The fiercely independent people of Coorg are possibly of Greek or Arabic descent. As one story goes, a part of Alexander’s army moved south along the coast and settled here when return became impractical. These people married amongst the locals and their culture is apparent in the martial traditions, marriage and religious rites, which are distinct from the Hindu mainstream. The theory of Arab origin draws support from the long, black coat with an embroidered waist-belt worn by the Kodavus. Known as kuppia, it resembles the kuffia worn by the Arabs and the Kurds.They are known to be independent, ferocious and brave which is evident from the fact that the Coorg regiment in the Indian army has received the maximum number of awards for bravery. The first chief of the Indian Army named General Cariappa belonged to Coorg. Also, these are the only people permitted to carry firearms freely unlike others who need a licence. This shows that the Coorgis are reliable tooThey have married amongst their locals and their culture is very different from what is seen in mainstream Hindus.
