The climate phenomenon is a key in the survival of the population, even if it can cause many damages, because it brings water to a region which normally is very arid.

They do not belong to any of the cast, and they are the poorest and worst tolerate people in India. The cast system is a remain of the Induism and while many progresses are been made nowadays, their situations is still difficult to manage.
