The political developments and the militancy have forced them out of their hearths and homes. They are scattered all over the country and abroad. Obviously therefore their existence as a community with a distinct identity is in danger. The present book is intended to illustrate the unique features of this community draw a portrait of their characteristics and give an insight into their intrinsic qualities. It gives a detailed account of their way of life their rituals and festivals and all that goes into making of this enlightened community.
