Explanation:

The Dhangars of the Northern or Southern India are reasonably considered to belong to the same race.[1] The word Dhangar is derived from the Sanskrit word 'Dhenu' or Cow. They are called by different synonyms like Dhangar, Dhangad and Dhanpal. Dhang also means a hill or a mountain.

DHANGARS :

The Dhangars were a pastoral community of Maharashtra who moved in search of pasturelands. While most of the Dhangars were shepherds, some were blanket weavers and buffalo herders. The Dhangars moved during alternate dry and wet seasons. They lived in the central plateau of Maharashtra during the monsoon season. Because the region was dry with inadequate rainfall and poor soil, dry crops such as bajra was sown. During the rainy season, the tracts of lands in central Maharashtra plateau became grazing grounds for their cattle.
