Answer 1

Gollas herded cattle while Kurumas reared sheep and goats and Kurubas reared sheep and goats. The alteration 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.
