Detailed Solution

Maharashtra's Dhangars were a significant pastoral community. They were believed to number 467,000 in this area around the start of the twentieth century. The majority of them were shepherds, while others were buffalo herders or blanket weavers. During the rainy season, the Dhangar shepherds remained on the central Maharashtra plateau. This area was semi-arid, with little rainfall and deficient soil. It was covered in prickly vegetation. The only crops that might be down here are dry ones like bajra. This tract expanded into a sizable grazing area for the Dhangar flocks during the monsoon.
