What is "kudumbi"

The Kudumbi (, also referred to as the Kunubis, the Kurumbi, or the Kunbi) are traditionally a Konkani-speaking farming community residing in Kerala, India. The majority of the group are farmers, laborers, and petty workers, settled across central and southern Kerala. Kudumbis are part of the larger Kunbi– Kurmi diaspora, a generic farming community spread out over India, with the probable exception of only Jammu and Kashmir.
