It later turned to browsing the net for the tribe.I was brought up and studied in almost every part of Nilgiris. That was a nice story of the tribe you wrote. The government didn't do much to educate them or to provide alternate opportunities. When I was there, even during the seventies and early eighties these people were not much socializing. Only during some festivals they came out. During the flower show at the Botanical gardens they use to come out with their diary products, bags shawls to sell. Not much research is done about their arrival or Origin. One Mr. Rivers dis a research for five months during the British period (1870's). That was when Mr. John Sullivan found Uthagamandalm also known as Othakalmund (single stone village) in Tamil. Very familiar to Ootacamund as the Britishers spelled and shortened to OOTY.Next time if you happened to go there, go to Parson's Valley. It is said that the place is as similar to a English village. You may be lucky to see a Bison. A lot of breath taking views all around Nilgiris. Anyway thanks for the nice reading about todas regards Krishna kumar Dear Inderjeet

A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and goes to bed at night and in between does what he wants to do. What’s money?

Our job is too compile the India-specific ones that would make interesting documentaries ---- in one place...like an india documentary idea directory.
