Synopsis:
Often referred to as the “gypsies of India,” the Banjara people of Karnataka abandoned a nomadic lifestyle and founded settlements about sixty years ago. Sitaramtanda, located in the state of Karnataka, is one of these. The people of Sitramtanda own about 10,000 acres of farmland that they farm traditionally, using locally-made tools of wood and metal. They grow sunflowers, teak, mangos, cotton, palm, peanuts, and rice, among other things. The community itself is also traditional, though some suspect that as the years pass traditional outfits and practices will fade. Landowner Naryan Naik showed us around.
