The above statement is false.
The Raikas were a pastoral community inhabiting the deserts of Rajasthan. The extreme dry season forced them to travel in search of other areas for good pastures and water for their livestock with the end of the monsoon season. Generally, they shifted to Sindh, at the banks of the Indus river, to graze their camels and sheep. But with the partition of the country in 1947, they lost access to the area, which became a province of Pakistan. So they had to find other places seeking lush pastures.
