Detailed Solution

The given statement is false.
The Dhangars were essential members of the pastoral civilization of Maharashtra. Their population was estimated to be 467,000 at the turn of the twentieth century. Shepherds made up most of them, although others worked as blanket weavers and buffalo herders. During the monsoon season, the Dhangars used to live on Maharashtra's central plateau. In addition to managing their animals, they used to grow bajra. They used to harvest their bajra by the end of October and then begin their march westward toward Konkan. Konkani peasants greeted them heartily. The excrement of the Dhangar flocks as they ate the stubble nourished the fields. They also took rice from Konkani farmers and transported it to the plateau, which was starving.
The correct statement is: The Konkani peasants welcome them to manure and fertilize their fields for the 'rabi' crop.
