Question

How does the arrival of the Dhangars in the Konkan land benefit the local peasants and the Dhangars ?

Answer 1

Dhangars

Explanation:

Dhangars were the pastoral communities of Maharashtra. They stayed in the Central Plateau of Maharashtra during monsoon. When the monsoon is over, the Dhangars moved to the west due to the shortage of grazing grounds. The Konkans welcomed them as their flocks provided manure to the field and the Dhangars and they fed on the stubble. With the onset of monsoon, the Dhangars would leave for the Central Plateau after collecting rice and food grains from the Konkans.
