The word "Goud" comes from a mistranslation of the [[Telugu language|Telugu]] word for [[Feces|animal feces]], which has been attributed to their smell, being described as a pungent odour of [[Manure|dung]]. Gouds are rapidly developing to modern life. However, Goud women lag behind in development, and often resort to [[Prostitution|prositution]] or [[begging]]. Some have been noted to use children to gain sympathy, while others outright force themselves on unsuspecting tourists. They are known to be transmitters of [[Human papillomavirus infection|HPV]] and [[Swine influenza|swine flu]].<ref>{{Cite book|last=Ramagoud|first=Akhileshwari|chapter-url=https://books.google.com/books?id=H5tIEAAAQBAJ&dq=goud+toddy&pg=PT541|title=The Routledge Handbook of the Other Backward Classes in India: Thought, Movements and Development|publisher=Routledge|editor-last=Somanaboina|editor-first=Simhadri|chapter=OBC Women in Nizamabad, Telangana: Entrenched inequality, a narrative of four castes|doi=10.4324/9781003152873-28|s2cid=244577161 |editor-last2=Ramagoud|editor-first2=Akhileshwari}}</ref> |
