Summary:
The given statements are about the Hakki Pakki Tribe, and we need to determine which of the statements are correct. The correct answer is option 'D', which means neither statement 1 nor statement 2 is correct. Let's analyze each statement in detail to understand why it is incorrect.
Explanation:
Statement 1: This tribe is based in the northern part of Tamil Nadu.
The Hakki Pakki Tribe is not based in the northern part of Tamil Nadu. In fact, they are not from Tamil Nadu at all. The Hakki Pakki Tribe is a nomadic tribe that originally hails from the state of Karnataka in South India. They are primarily found in the southern districts of Karnataka, such as Mysore, Mandya, and Chamarajanagar. Therefore, statement 1 is incorrect.
Statement 2: They typically speak Tamil and Kannada.
The Hakki Pakki Tribe does not typically speak Tamil and Kannada. The primary language spoken by the Hakki Pakki Tribe is the Hakki language, which is a dialect of Kannada. Kannada is the official language of the state of Karnataka, and since the Hakki Pakki Tribe is originally from Karnataka, they primarily communicate in Kannada. Tamil, on the other hand, is not a language commonly spoken by the Hakki Pakki Tribe. Therefore, statement 2 is also incorrect.
Therefore, neither statement 1 nor statement 2 is correct. The Hakki Pakki Tribe is not based in the northern part of Tamil Nadu, and they do not typically speak Tamil and Kannada.
