KURUMBAS

This article appears in Volume V15, Page 954 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: KRO-LAP
KURUMBAS and KURUBAS, aboriginal tribes of southern India, by some thought to be of distinct races. There are two types of Kurumbas, those who live on the Nilgiri
plateau
 , speak the Kurumba dialect and are mere savages; and those who live in 'the plains, speak Kanarese and are civilized. The former are a 'small people, with wild matted
hair
  and scanty
beard
 , sickly-looking, pot-bellied, large-mouthed, with projecting jaws,prominent teeth and thick lips. Their villages are called motias, groups of four or five huts, built in
mountain
  glens or forests. At the 1901
census
  the numbers were returned at 4083.
See James W. Breeks, An Account of Primitive Tribes of the Nilgiris (1873) ; Dr John Shortt, Hill Ranges of Southern India, pt. i. 4753; Rev. F. Metz, Tribes Inhabiting the Neilgherry Hills (
Mangalore
 , 1864).
