There is a rumor that Badagas are migrated from Mysore, but recent research work by French scholar Christiane Pilot-Raichoor proved that Badagas are origin of Nilgiris. The Badagas used to be called a tribe in the past, unfortunately Badagas are removed from the tribe list.

It is ironic that despite extensive research on them by western scholars, the Badagas are little known outside the Nilgiris.
