Introduction / History

The Bathada people live in Karnataka.


What Are Their Lives Like?

The Bathada people are predominantly rural.

Monogamy is the rule for Bathada marriages. In the case of adultery or "maladjustment" either party can divorce the other. They marry later than they used to in past generations.

Though they are Hindus, they are not vegetarian; the Bathada people are noted for enjoying pork.


What Are Their Needs?

They are noted for listening to the radio. They need gospel oriented radio in the Kannada language.
