Solution
The Pastoralists communities in Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh :
a. Gollas- They herded cattle ( Buffalos)
b. Kurumas- Reared sheep and goats
c. Kurubas- Sheep and goats
The alternation of the monsoon and dry season determined their rhythm of movement.
In the dry season they moved to the coastal tracts, and left when the rains came. Except for buffalos other animals were shifted to dry plateaus.
