Bunt (community)

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