Question

Describe briefly about any 5 pastoral nomads found in different parts of india

Answer 1

The origin of nomadic pastoralism is traced back to the Middle Ages. The first nomadic pastoralist society is said to develop somewhere around 8500 BC to 6500 BC. In India too you will find many such tribes that practice nomadic pastoralism.

Nomads, as we know, are tribes and groups of people that do not permanently settle in one place. They move around from one place to another in no set pattern to look for their livelihoods. They do not possess a permanent house or any other such possessions.
