==Origin theories/myths== *Krishnasami Aiyangar explores the ''Nalur Kosar'', (i.e. Kosars who settled in 4 places: ''naal''=4, ''ur''=place) as foreigners to Tamil country. He suggests that they may be the Kosakara tribe mentioned in the Ramayana. * *With regard to their Maurya connections, they were possibly the Khasas who led the advanced parts of the army into Pataliputra for Chandragupta Maurya. They were reputed as warriors in the south and were described as people who invariably kept their word. He further writes that the Buddhist propaganda stopped short of the Tamil land; and moved to other parts including Ceylon. * *The Khasas were a west Central Asian nomadic tribe and a pre-Rigvedic Iranian Aryan tribes that spread from Kashmir to Assam. They are found in present-day Nepal and other mountain regions of North India. See Khasa Kingdom. *Prof S. Shivaram Shetty’s research shows that a tribe called Kosars wandered into Tulu nadu after the Aryan invasion. Mercenaries by nature, they first settled in Deccan and established the Shatavahana kingdom in Andhra Pradesh. In Tulu nadu they founded the Alupa kingdom (Alupas). Satavahana Kosar and Bunts could be all central Asian Scythian tribes. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kossar」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
