Bunt (community)

The Bunt (/ˈbʌnt/,[1] Tulu: [bɐɳʈɐɾɯ]) people are an Indian community who historically have inhabited the Tulu Nadu region in South India.[2] Bunts were traditionally a warrior-class or martial caste community,[3][4] with agrarian origins,[2] forming the landed gentry of the region.[5] They are the dominant land-owning, farming and banking community of Tulu Nadu and speak Tulu and Kundagannada as their mother tongue.[6][7] Today, the Bunts are a largely urbanised community, with a population size of less than one million worldwide.[8][9]
