Rang community
The Rang community (also spelled Rung community) are indigenous tribe located in the upper parts of the Johar, Darma of India and Mahakali valley of Nepal. Some of them are located in the Chameylia valley of Nepal. In Nepal, they are also known as the Shauka. The Rang/Shauka community traditionally practices transhumance.[1] The community is listed as indigenous tribe in India and Nepal.[2]
Based on the 2001 Census, their population is about 2,615. [3]
The Rungs were traditionally involved in Indo-Tibet border trade, but after the war between India and China in 1962, the trade has stopped and the community members are forced to search jobs in cities.[4]
They speak three kinds of Tibetian-Burman languages - Byansi, Chaudangsi and Darma.[3]
