His community's business was to collect minerals and dissolve them in large clay molds, yielding pure iron for making utensils, tools and weapons. As their community grew, they began to migrate to other areas in search of minerals. At that time the [[Raja]] gave him some land. The people migrated from [[Konkan]] Pratapad/Mahabaleshwar hill area to [[Bijapur|Parj Bijapur]] to [[Hyderabad]]. These people began to be called according to their occupation. The people were scattered and settled in many places, mainly in [[Maharashtra]]. All the people were [[Muslims]], but thereafter people of other religions joined in the business.
