Rodi or
Rodiya are one of the widely reported untouchable
social group or
caste amongst the
Sinhalese people of
Sri Lanka. Their status was very similar to all the
Untouchable castes of India with segregated communities, ritualized begging, eating off the refuse of upper castes and refusal for the women and men to cover their upper bodies. Just like all debased
lineages across India, they too claim one time
Royal ancestry.

[edit] Origins
There is a great deal of mystery surrounding their origins and their former debased status. Many sociologists and anthropologists and even linguists have documented and commented on their status. The common theory is that at one time Rodiya were like the
Veddas of Sri Lanka, hunting and gathering tribe that eventually came to survive on the margins of civilized society and got incorporated as a caste.
But why as an untouchable versus the assimilation of many Veddas as
Govigama or the highest castes of the land? That question is also generally answered by the alleged
cannibalistic past of the caste. Either the community itself indulged in cannibalism or were propitiating their deity
Ratnavali also known as Navaratna Valli with human sacrifice.
Valli is the name of the tribal consort of Hindu deity
Murukan in
South India and Sri Lanka.
[edit] Occupations
The main occupations of Rodiya are hunting.
