The exact identity of the Mayura River, the northern limits of the historic Konkan, is indeterminate. However, it is certain that the Gramit or Gamit tribals of Maharashtra Konkan (districts of Sindhudurg, Ratnagiri, Raigad or Alibag or Colaba, Bombay Urban, Bombay Suburban and Thane in "Maharashtra State") are the original Konkani prolectariat of Maharashtra Konkan, who have been driven into forest lands and reduced to tribal and "low caste" status by Marathi and Gujarati colonists in the Konkan.
