India history and geography
Source: Project Gutenberg: Castes and Tribes of Southern India, Volume 1Karuman (“blacksmiths”) is one of the five artisan classes of the Kammalans of Malabar. The Kammalan people believe themselves to be indigenous in Malabar, and boast that their system of polyandry is the result of the sojourn of the exiled Pandavas, with their common wife Panchali, and their mother Kunthi, in the forest of the Walluvanad division.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
