Detailed Solution

Dhangar flocks fed on the stubble of the rabi crop was not a reason for Konkani peasants welcoming the herders.
1)      The Konkani Peasants embrace the Dhangars pastoralists because they relocate from the central Maharashtra plateau to the Konkan:
2)      When the Kharif crops are harvested and it is time to seed the rabi crops in October, Dhangars go towards Konkani. It is necessary to get the fields ready for the rabi crops. The manure that flocks of dhangars provide increases their fertility.
3)      Second, the dhangars use the grain residue from the Kharif harvest to feed their flocks.
4)      Thirdly, the Konkani farmers make use of their rice crop by giving it to the dhangars shepherds who transport it to the central plateau, where there is a shortage of food.
