Welcome to Blog KURUBA
Traditionally being warriors and farmers, kurubas were late to take up modren day education, but have made a fast progress in many fields. They are today developing into a vibrant and dynamic community coming out of the nutshell of inferiority complex which was being imposed on them since the fall of Vijayanagara empire.
The community is being ably led by many politicians and social thinkers like Mr.Siddaramaiah who are today not only leading the kuruba community but also all the deprived sections of the society. Kurubas today have become the voice of all the deprived communities of the society grouped under Backward Castes.
This Blog is dedicated to the unity of Kuruba community. Come together all Sheperds lets make a difference.
