Usage examples of badaga.
The Badaga, Kota, Toda and Kurumba lived together in a delicate harmony, each supplying a vital something that the other three needed, and paying for the indispensable products of its neighbors with its own handiwork.
But there was one form of merchandise the Badaga, the Kota and the Toda were willing to pay more for than any of the others.
After the yearly harvest, the women of the Kota craftspeople fashioned pots and carried them, along with iron hoes, forks and plowshares forged by their husbands, to the village of the Badaga farmers.
When the celebration was over, the Kota craftspeople left, carrying a gift from their Badaga farmer hosts--a year's supply of wheat.
So the Kota lived in cozy economic interdependence with the Toda livestock-breeders and Badaga farmers, swapping handicrafts and music for steaks and bread.
