Detailed Solution

Raikas were a group of people living in the desert of Rajasthan. The region where these people belong has very little rainfall, and it is very uncertain to witness rainfall due to how the harvest on the cultivated land keeps on fluctuating.

There are two groups of Raikas—one herds the camel, and another herds goats and sheep.
