Solution

The 2011 census figures show that the Hakki Pikki tribe’s population in Karnataka was around 12,000. The tribe is divided into four clans, namely Gujaratia, Panwar, Kaliwala, and Mewaras. The tribe originated in the bordering districts of Gujarat and Rajasthan, but over time, they have migrated to different parts of India, where they continue to face social, economic, and political marginalization. The tribe’s name itself reveals a lot about their history and identity. “Hakki” means “bird” in Kannada, while “Pikki” means “catchers”.
