3. Introduction Pastorals are the nomads or shepherds who travelled from one place to another in search of food and shelter. They have a very long history and modifications in their living style. In the beginning their main occupation was herding and pastoralism. Generally, they live in a particular area like mountains and in need of their livelihood they come to plains, after the fulfilment of their news they go back to their original habitat.
World has witnessed a number of pastorals in different spheres of area. .In lowland areas and valleys it is important to graze and protect sheep and cattle.

4. Dhangars The Dhangars are an important pastoral community of Maharashtra. They are shepherds, blanket weavers and buffalo herders.
The Dhangars stay in the central plateau in Maharashtra during the monsoon. The rainy season allows them to graze their cattle and harvest bajra sown by them.
In November, they reach the Konkan region which is a fertile agricultural tract. The farmers in the Konkan welcome them because the cattle of the Dhangars graze on the fields and provide manure to them.
Their fields thus become ready for the sowing of rabi crops. The Dhangars return to their dry fields on the onset of the monsoon in the Konkan.

5. Raikas The Raikas live in the deserts of Rajasthan. Because the desert lands cannot be extensively cultivated, the Raikas combine cultivation with pastoralism. They stay in their villages during the monsoon as grass is available for their cattle. In October, they move out in search of pasture and water and return to their villages the next year during the monsoon. Different groups of Raikas herd camels, goats and sheep.

6. The Goras, the Kurumas The Kurubas in Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh rear sheep and goat and sell woven blankets. These pastoral communities move from the dry lands to the coastal communities based on the onset of the monsoon. These communities leave the area in the rainy season.

7. Banjaras The Banjaras are a nomadic group which live in the villages of Rajasthan, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra. The Banjaras move with their cattle over long distances in search of pasturelands. They also sell plough cattle and other goods to villagers in exchange for grain and fodder.

8. GEOGRAPHY TOPICE : TROPICAL DECIDUOUS FOREST Tropical deciduous forests are the most widespread forests of India. They are also called the monsoon forests and spread over the region receiving rainfall between 200 cm and 70 cm. Trees of this forest-type shed their leaves for about six to eight weeks in dry summer.

9. Why are Tropical Deciduous Forests Important?   The economic importance of tropical deciduous forests is great. They have hard and sturdy wood from any other trees that we do not provide. They also help to build up factories, as farmers can get the highest quality timber from these forests. For a number of animal species, they are a safe shelter.
