Goa's Kulagars thirsting for water




Goa's famed Kulagars are thirsting for water due to deepened mines all over Goa. Hosts spices and butternuts as their main crops. Their original cultivators are tribal people. Even now tribal people are their main cultivators. They however do not posses land titles to these due to mischiefs done to land records by the powerful sections of society and ownership rights transferred to their names. Tribal people work largely as labourers in these plantations.
