Re: What titles landlords and rich people carry?
kamma chowdhary and naidu are same,it used mostly in southern andhra where as chowdhary in northern part common name is kamma
naidu means nayak village head. especially during vijayanagara empire they were appointed in tamil nadu has nayakas,many of them still live in tamil nadu but lost their identity and speak tamil
few other upper caste like kapus and velammas of northern andhra also use naidu in their names, this guys are similar to shetty/lingayats of karnataka
reddy and kamma(naidu/chowdhary) were always dominant caste in andhra since ancient time there use to be many reddy/nayak dynasty even though we don’t come under traditional varna system of kshatriyas
but all the chief minister have come from either one of the caste as well as top bussniessman of state even though population of this two combined is less then 15 percent
