Solution
Here are a few similarities between the life of the Bakarwal people and the life of the Changpas.
- They live in the mountains of Jammu and Kashmir.
- They keep moving from one place to another.
- They earn their livelihood by selling the fur obtained from these animals.
- They eat meat from animals like sheep, yak, goats, etc.
The difference between the life of the Bakarwal people and the life of the Changpas is that.
- The Bakarwal people gaze at any type of goat and sheep at any place. And stay at low altitudes only.
- But Changpas gaze only special type of goat at high altitude because their wool would be very softly which is very costly. They live at high altitudes only.
