The ___________ lived by herding and rearing animals.A Labadis B Santhals C Oraons

The correct answer is B. Santhals.

The Santhals are an ethnic group primarily found in India and Bangladesh, known for their distinctive culture and traditions. Historically, the Santhals have been associated with agriculture and animal husbandry, relying on herding and rearing various animals for their livelihood. They typically inhabit regions that allow for pastoral and agricultural practices, ensuring their connection to both the land and livestock. In contrast, the Labadis are more associated with coastal regions and fishing, while the Oraons are also involved in agriculture but are distinct in their cultural practices compared to the Santhals.
