Question
What is the story about the Kodavu people’s descent?
Solution
It might be a possibility that the people of Coorg are of Greek or Arabic descent. The theory of Greek origin is supported by the fact that the Greek culture is apparent in their various traditions. Alexander's army inhabited this place for a while and married local people.
The theory of Arab origin is supported by the fact that these people wear a long, black coat with an embroidered waist belt known as kuppia. Kuppia is similar to the kuffia worn by the Arabs and the Kurds.
