Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
The Gollas and the Kurumas are the pastoral communities of South India. The pastoral societies of Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka reared livestock, marketed woven blankets, and herded cattle. The Kurumas, who lived close to the forests, farmed tiny plots of land and cared for their herds alongside the Gollas, who herded cattle among them. The Kuruma people identify as the offspring of the mighty ancient Kurumba people who once inhabited southern India. The Gollas are a pastoral population that speaks Telugu. The Sanskrit term "Gopal," which means cowkeeper, is the source of the English word "Golla."
