Kubur,
Nowhere did I claim that there was no such thing as Coorg people.
I thought I was clear to state that the very word Coorg is an anglicised mis- pronounciation of the original Indian name: no more, no less. By the same token there is no Moscow: it is Moskva, and no Jerusalem: it is Yerushalaim.
In all those places there are very much real native inhabitants who call themselves “ moskvichi” and “ yerushalmim”.
AFAIK ( thanks Wiki!) people of Karnataka call themselves Kannadigas.
Brits are big on mis-pronouncing geographical locations, including their own: a town Cholmondeley is pronounced CHUM- lee:-)
