However the Mugalis view themselves as being of a higher class than the Karani and disdain their language and materials written in it. Most Mugali are Buddhist while most of the Kanari and Hindus.
There have been attempts to create health-education materials aimed at the Mugom that take into account their culture and levels of literacy specifically.
