The castes that would gain or lose if Telangana is separated
While the leaders fight with each other and the innocent students
committing suicides on the telangana issue one wonders who the real
beneficiaries would be if Telangana is separated. We bring you the
castes who would benefit and also lose if Telangana is separated.
REDDYS
------------
Reddys used to have many subsects like Motati, Panta, Kapu, Gone etc
totaling around 52. There used be a saying regarding Reddys - "The
sub-sects in Reddys equals to the different types of grain seeds". But
due to numerous intermarriages between various Reddy sub-sects the
divisions are almost removed. Unlike Telangana, the Reddys are
concentrated only in few regions in Andhra & Rayalaseema like Kadapa,
Kurnool, Guntur, Nellore Darsi markapuram side areas of Ongole, etc.
So if Telangana is separated the percentage of population of Kammas &
Kapus will be more numerically than the Reddys in the SeemaAndhra
region. So the Reddys in the Telangana region would benefit from
division as they are evenly concentrated and much more in Telangana.
So Reddys in Telangana will prosper in politics but the Reddys may not
succeed in the Andhra region as the two dominant castes i.e Kapus &
Kammas would dominate the political space. It is for this reason that
the Congress leaders YS Jagan vehemently oppose Telangana.
KAMMAS
------------
Unlike Reddys, the Kammas in Andhra Pradesh have been divided into
only two sub sects mostly 'Pedda Kammas' (Godachatu Kammas) & 'Chinna
Kammas' (Gampa Kammas) and the differences have almost ceased to exist
now due to intermarriages. Incidentally the late NTR is a Chinna Kamma
while Chandrababu Naidu is a pedda Kamma like late Paritala Ravi, hero
Krishna etc.
And again unlike Reddys the Kammas are concentrated in the Andhra
region like Krishna, Guntur, East Godavari, Ongole, Chittoor, pockets
of Ananthpur, Vizag, West Godavari, Nellore etc but are numerically
more than the Reddys in the same region as a whole.
The Kammas and Kapus would benefit in Andhra region while the Reddys
would benefit in the Telangana region.
KAPUS
-----------
The case of Kapus is an unique one. Unlike the Reddys & the Kammas,
the Kapus have subsects who are either forward castes or backward
castes.
While the forward caste Kapus are concentrated in the Guntur, Krishna
and the Godavari districts, the Kapus in other regions of Andhra
Pradesh are mostly backward castes.
The backward caste subsects of the Kapus include Turpu Kapus (like
Botsa who are concentrated in North Andhra region), Munnuru Kapu
(concentrated in the Telangana region and include leaders like Danam,
Konda Surekha, D Srinivas,KK etc), Ontari (Nellore, Ongole etc) &
Balija (Setti Balija, Gajula Balija etc and include leaders like the
PRP leader C Ramachandraiah, TTD Chairman Adikesavula Naidu etc).
Since the Kapus (if we take both the forward & the backward subsects)
are evenly distributed all over Andhra Pradesh, they would have
nothing to lose if Telangana is separated.
Scheduled Castes
------------
The majority of the scheduled castes in Andhra Pradesh are either Mala
& Madiga. The Mala caste people are concentrated mainly in the Andhra
region while the Madiga caste people are concentrated in the Telangana
region. If Telangana is separated then the two castes have nothing
much to lose.
Other castes like Velamas, Vysyas, Backward castes etc are almost
evenly distributed throughout Andhra Pradesh and so they would not
lose much.
Then one may wonder why the Andhra and the Rayalaseema people and
leaders oppose Telangana when castes like Kammas, Kapus, Malas etc
would gain from it though the Reddys in the Andhra region are the ones
who would be at loss if Telangana is separated. The answer is simple.
They would not dream of Hyderabad slipping from them since it
generates around 70 to 80 thousand crores per year. There is no place
in Andhra or Rayalaseema which can generate so much revenue.
