Answer 1

$\huge{\orange{\underline{\purple{\mathscr{Solution}}}}}$

The fiercely independent people of Coorg are believed to be the descendants of Greek or Arabic origin. As the story goes, a section of Alexander’s army moved south along the coast and settled there when they could not return to their country. 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. This is the beautiful story about the Kodavu people’s descent.

Answer 2

Answer:

Answer: It is believed that Kodavu people are of Arabic origin. It is said that some of Alexander's armymen moved to south and settled there. Their costume, martial practices and marriage rituals also point to the fact that they are from Arabic origin.
