OverView of Hichkad
HICHKAD this word is originated from the local language that the people of that area talk(Language of Uttara Kannada Nadavar). In Kannada it is called as Nadavar Bhashe. In this language Hichu means more or large> Kadu means forest. Even in pure Kannada also Kadu means forest. Once upon a time very thick big forest was there very nearer to this village. To prove this some big mango trees were there some years backat one corner of the village near the bank of Gangavali river. Still this corner is called as KANMOOLE again means Kadina moole i.e corner of a forest. But the forest is completely removed now. So HICHKAD means a place where more forest is there. But now no such forest but the same name is being continued. About 300 years back only forest was there . One or two Jain families from Dakshina Kannada migrated to that place about 300 years back. Dominating people of this village belong to nadavar caste.Some body in this Jain family committed some mistakes and they were put ofout of this Jain community.Edit below overview about Hichkad
