Per Wiki,
Kapu and its subcastes(Balija, Telaga, Turpu Kapu, Ontari, constitute about 25.18% percent of the population of Andhra Pradesh, making them the single largest community in the state.But no source was cited for that statistic
And according to another Wiki Article, here are the demographics:
- FC: Forward castes are castes that are politically, educationally and financially well off and don't qualify for government reservations in educational and government positions. Some of the subcastes are actually backward castes. They make up about 35% of the population.
- BC: Castes are classified as backward if due to their financial, educational and political depression need government reservations to help uplift their status. They are predominantly involved in small scale farming, artisans, small scale traders. They make up about 50% of the population.
- SC: They are engaged predominantly in menial and manual labor and make up about 10% of the population.
- Tribes: They engage in hunting and gathering, the primitive type of agriculture known as shifting or slash-and-burn cultivation. They constitute 5% of the population.
Interesting.
ReplyDeleteThis should make Chiranjeevi's foray into polictics pretty easy. I just hope it improves andhra.
I also hope it ends caste politics, makes people mingle, marry, mix, live together happily. The current young, uppermiddle class, not cash strapped generation should take advantage of this and create a society with liberty.

one forth of a.p population is kapu/ naidu
Except turpu kaapu none of the subcastes of Kaapu r BC...funny to see telaga under BC catogary.Telagas r known as Pedda kaapulu o and their ancestors were warroirs,kings and landlords(fuedal).They fall under Forward caste and they are the most superior subcaste among all the kaapu.Their surnames include "Dora" showing they were landlords or kings and also "naidu" means landlord or farmer.Many houses of telaga still have wepons like swords and guns gited by their forefathers showing their warroir history.
DeleteFamous personalities of telaga r Chiranjeevi,Dasari Narayana Rao and etc.Telaga is first next is anything under kaapu they r not BC.
Kapu,Balija Naidu,Naidu, Telaga,ontari,Turpu Kapu,Munnuru Kapu and Hazari in Andhra Pradesh; and Kavarai or Gavara Balija Naidu in Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Kerala are synonymous with KAPU caste only.Kapu caste is called in different areas with different names causing confusion to the people who are unaware.All these peoples'sur names and gothrams are same.
ReplyDeleteunlike other castes,
ReplyDeletemore than 70% of the reddys are not real reddys,
in rayalaseema irrespective of the caste many people have the name reddy, many rich kapus all over A.P name themselves as reddy, now all these 70% non-reddys mix with reddys just because have the same name as reddy, and claim themselves as reddys.
One can clearly understand by watching their life styles, unlike other castes, reddys donot share same kind of life style or custom because many of the reddys are non-reddys who got mingled with the reddy community & now became an integral part of the reddys, such that it is difficult to find out who is real reddy.
For ur info der is no caste called reddy's......ppl who rule village's cald "Dhora"...are reddys......Big Farmer's are Reddy's........Rayalaseema....ppl real reddy's
Deletekammas only 3-%,they boasts themselves
ReplyDeleteyou are right
DeleteUr face u bitch not all kammas r lyk tht u *****
DeleteActually in truth Reddies and Kapus have very similar lifestyle. In truth Reddy did not become an official caste till late 1800s. There is also historical evidence saying Reddies were offshoots of Kapus as Reddy was a title given to Kapus appointed as local village heads. Probably over time those appointed as Reddies slowly drifted away from Kapu caste probably due to their financial or social standing. Odd thing is alot of Reddies took up Christianity eventhough they were financially well off compared to Kapus who were not financially well off. Please note the ones with Reddy suffix in their surname are mostly Kapu and still refer to themselves as Kapu (example Bhumireddy and Kesireddy) even today and seek only Kapu matches. Ones with Reddy suffix in their name like Rajashekar Reddy and Jagan Mohan Reddy are mostly Reddy but their are some cases where other castes used the suffix but as far as I know it is very rare in Kapu caste who mainly use Naidu and Rao. Even in such a case as a Kapu having a Reddy suffix just like Reddies Kapus have their pride and tend not to get match with anyone but with another Kapu. But when it comes to intercaste marriages Kapus and Reddies have the most compatibility in all aspects compared to any other caste.
