Most of the population lives in rural areas. They are governed by their specific customs and traditions. They have inculcated in them a false but exaggerated since of morality and ego. Women folk are in most wretched conditions. Their plight cannot be expressed in words. Polygamy is common. Crime is product of society. No offence can be committed in isolation. Men differ. Similarly geographical and ecological factors give birth to peculiar customs and traditions in a particular society.

ECONOMIC CONDITION

The population is mostly illiterate; poverty is the fate of masses. The populace mostly, earns their livelihood by breading goats and sheep.
