The Nishadhas(निषाद)


The Nishadhas are a branch of Dravidian Bhil races of North India. In the days of Ramayana and Mahabharata, the land from Sindhu to Sri Lanka was infested with dravidians and they spoke a language which was a mixure of present day Telugu & Tamil languages. This language was spoken from the country of Sumeria, Babylonia, Israel to India. In Telugu, the Ekalavya's caste is known as Erukala or Yerukula. In Telugu, Erukala means sooth sayer or fortune teller. In Telugu language, Bhil means bow. .
Bil = Bhil = Vhil = Vhillu = Bow
Eruka = Fortune telling or Sooth saying
Erukala = One who does the job of a fortune teller
It is widely accepted by historians that the Kakatiyas of Warangal and Bastar belonged to this Erukala caste to which the great archer Ekalavya belonged. The Erukalas are a variants or a branch of bhils of India.
The Bhils form an important group, which inhabits mainly the southern districts of Rajasthan and the surrounding regions of Udaipur and Chittaurgarh. The generic term, which describes their tribe apparently, derives its name from bil, meaning bow, which describes their original talent and strength.
Mudiraju Bantlu ( Bants/Shetty/Ray) who belong to vanara races are well known as members of suicide squads employed by their king masters. The very term Coolie was a modification of bhil tribe's name Koli. In Punjabi, Bande also means a faithful follower and they also belong to bhil - koli races. The Gypsy banjaras of Indian origin ( with roots of Vanaras ) are also known as Romanichal in Europe.
Koli => Cooli => Coolie
Bantu ( Telugu language ) = Faithful Servant
Bande( Punjabi language ) = Faithful follower
Ramoshi = Ram vashi = Controlled by Sri Rama
Romanichal (Romani ) = Faithful follower of Sri Rama
