Banjaras during the medieval period of Indian history were generally

Explicitly describes Banjaras as 'well-known group of graziers' who moved long distances, selling plough cattle and goods for grain and fodder.

A student could combine this with basic knowledge of pastoralism vs settled agriculture to infer Banjaras were pastoral/merchant-nomads rather than settled cultivators.

States that from the medieval period onward nomadic communities like the Banjaras traded forest and other goods, indicating a trading/itinerant function.

One could use this pattern of nomadic trade to question whether such groups practiced settled agriculture as their primary occupation.

Describes the medieval economy as village-based and agrarian with social segmentation and land-based inequality, implying settled agriculture was organised around villages and landholders.

A student could contrast the village-based agrarian structure with the mobile, trading role described for Banjaras to judge whether they fit the profile of primary agriculturists.

Notes that medieval cities had bazaars/markets as central features, signalling demand for goods and intermediaries who supply rural produce to towns.

A student might reason that Banjaras' itinerant trading and cattle-selling fit the role of market suppliers/intermediaries rather than settled farmers.

Shows social groups often combined occupations (e.g., Brahmins engaged in agriculture, trade and war), illustrating occupational diversity among communities.

This suggests the need to check whether Banjaras were multi-occupational or primarily pastoral/trading, rather than assuming they were principally agriculturists.
