Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
The Bhotiyas, who are thought to be of Tibetan ancestry, reside in the high Great Himalayas along the Indo-Tibetan boundary at altitudes ranging from 6,500 feet to 13,000 feet. The term Bod, the traditional Tibetan name for Tibet, is where the name Bhotiyas originates. Because of their alleged likeness to the Tibetans, the British adopted this word to describe the inhabitants of the borderlands. The seven major river valleys of Uttarakhand's three bordering districts of Pithoragarh, Chamoli, and Uttarkashi are home to the Bhotiyas. The Johari, Darmiya, Chaudansi, Byansi, Marchha, Tolcha, and Jadh are the seven principal Bhotiya tribes of Uttarakhand.
The correct statement would be that the Bhotiyas are the pastoralist community of Uttarakhand.
