After reading the text, I feel that it is important to follow the traditional practices, as it has kept the tradition of Coorgis known to the people even today. If the people of Coorg had not followed it, their tradition would have perished and nobody would have remembered them today because of their culture and traditional practices. According to the text, their traditions can be seen in the martial forms, religious rites and marriages. The Kodavus even wear the dress which resembles Arabs.
Traditional practices also play a very important role in maintaining values amongst people and have an impact on shaping the behaviour of people. These practices also bind us together in a social life and we get the values from our ancestors.
