@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…
