The Tuluvas (Tulu: ತುಳುವ) are speakers of the Tulu language. Since ancient times they have been spread through the northern Kasaragod, Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts of Karnataka, India. Today, there is a sizable Tuluva population in Mumbai and elsewhere in the world, where they have migrated. In recent times, the first set of migration started at the beginning of the twentieth century to places like Mumbai(known then as Bombay) and Chennai (known then as Madras) and other parts of South India. The Tulu speaking Shivalli Brahmins mostly migrated towards the south of Tulunadu to areas like Madras, Bangalore, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala etc and other Tuluvas towards the north of Tulunadu especially to Mumbai and surrounding areas like Thane,Navi Mumbai and Pune.
The second set of migration started with World War II to escape rationing of food by the British. The third set of migration started after imposition of the Land Reform Act in the early 70's, when thousands of people lost their land to tenants. The fourth wave of migration especially to Bangalore started with the IT boom in the late 1990s and 2000scitation needed. The migrants in this wave were educated skilled people required for the IT sector. There were two other waves of migration: one to the Gulf states mostly in the 1980s and 1990s. Another period of migration to the U.S.A followed the IT boom in India, particularly in Bangalore.
