The PEOPLE of the BLUE MOUNTAIN

 

--

The Toda tribe are The People of the Blue Mountains of Nilgiris. 

They are among the most ancient people in India who have lived for centuries exclusively on the secluded Nilgiri plateau in the Southern region of the country. 

By the end of the 20th century, some Toda pasture land was overtaken by outsiders who used it for agriculture. Knowing that buffalo herds are crucial for the existence of the Toda people one can easily conclude that this has endangered Toda society and their culture, as vast buffalo herds have been diminished in the region.
