@bangalore_22532 @TTHCollective The “mix up” of the local tribes, with the white skinned North-westerners happened during RAshTraKUTa times

Reddy, is Rathi - like MahaRathi - a title given to able bodied men who administered on the real Kshatriyas of NW region (Vassals)

@bangalore_22532 @TTHCollective Naidu, is NAyaka - creation of VidhyAraNya to counter these erring forces

NAyakas, implemented the South Indian Brahminical VEdic system from Udipi

Some Brahmin blood pilfered in too (sic)

The idea - in either case - is, to “convert” the local Dravidian “Brown” tribes…

@bangalore_22532 @TTHCollective …to VEdic way of VarNa system

Able bodied men, who could wield muscle power were “chosen” for such roles - given Zameendar - roles

Use the farmers, subjugate them, collect taxes (riches) and implement VEdic way of life

Linguistic and religious beliefs driven by Brahmins

@bangalore_22532 @TTHCollective VaishNavam is predominant in AP region - RAMAnujAchArya, helped “converting” most of these shoodra dEvatha worshippers to the “VEdic” fold - called the Shad Shoodras (to boost the egos!), and Shoodras (the 4th VarNa)

Scheduled Tribes are still left out

@bangalore_22532 @TTHCollective Xtian conversions are used now to “convert” to “a system”

Later, will be “converted” by ISKCON

And, later by the VaishNava groups

The VarNa system sees every one Reddy, Naidu, etc as - Shooooooodras!

Unthreaded, unholy, not even eligible to utter PraNavam (OM)

Suckers (sic)
