Their status was very similar to all the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalit_(outcaste)" target="_blank">Untouchable</a> 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 <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lineage_(anthropology)" target="_blank">lineages</a> across India, they too claim one time <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_family" target="_blank">Royal</a> ancestry.Contents  [<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodiya#" target="_blank">hide</a>] <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodiya#Origins" target="_blank">1 Origins</a></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodiya#Occupations" target="_blank">2 Occupations</a></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodiya#Caste_of_the_unwanted" target="_blank">3 Caste of the unwanted</a></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodiya#A_cannibalistic_cult" target="_blank">4 A cannibalistic cult</a></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodiya#Entertainers" target="_blank">5 Entertainers</a></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodiya#Nation_apart" target="_blank">6 Nation apart</a></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodiya#Current_status" target="_blank">7 Current status</a></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodiya#See_also" target="_blank">8 See also</a></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodiya#References" target="_blank">9 References</a></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodiya#External_links" target="_blank">10 External links</a></li> </ul>[<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rodiya&action=edit&section=1" target="_blank">edit</a>] 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 <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veddas" target="_blank">Veddas</a> 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 <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Govigama" target="_blank">Govigama</a> or the highest castes of the land? That question is also generally answered by the alleged <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannibalistic" target="_blank">cannibalistic</a> past of the caste. Either the community itself indulged in cannibalism or were propitiating their deity <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ratnavali" target="_blank">Ratnavali</a> also known as Navaratna Valli with human sacrifice. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valli" target="_blank">Valli</a> is the name of the tribal consort of Hindu deity <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murukan" target="_blank">Murukan</a> in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_India" target="_blank">South India</a> and Sri Lanka.[<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rodiya&action=edit&section=2" target="_blank">edit</a>] Occupations The main occupations of Rodiya are hunting.</blockquote>
