Detailed Solution

The above statement is false. The Dhangars were one of the chief pastoral communities of the state of Maharashtra. They mainly were shepherds, but some weaved blankets, and a few others herded buffaloes. Unlike the rural communities of the mountains, the dry season and the rainy season became the basis for their movements. With the onset of monsoons, they started living in the central plateau of Maharashtra, a semi-arid region with poor soil. The table became a vast grazing ground for the Dhangar flocks and suitable for cultivating Bajra because of the rain.
The correct statement would be October, the Dhangars left the central plateau of Maharashtra for Konkan.
