Clan of Kakatiyas[edit]

Many inscriptions shows Kakatiyas as the rulers, who were belonged to Durjaya Clan of Vallutla Gotra of Kamma ethnic race of Telangana region.^[1]^[2]

In Durvasa Puranam, one of the Astadasapuranams written by Brahmins in the past, it was said that King Pratapa Rudra is a Kamma and he was born in Kamma Maharaj Vamsam. Some Historians agreed that Kakatiyas as Kammas. These Kakatiyas earlier migrated from Magallu, a village near Nandigama in Nathavadu, to Warangal. Chalukya Danaranavudu Inscription in 956 AD is telling this. Kakatiyas some time worked as Rashtrakuta village headman and after that worked as Samantha Rajas to Chalukyas.^[3] The Musunuri Nayaks are also from a Kamma clan namely 'Musunuri' related to Kakatiyas.^[4]^[5] Kakatiyas were also called as Kakatiya Nayaks or Karma/Kamma Nayaks. Among them Beta-I (1000-50) was the earliest Kakatiya Nayak. The warriors in the empire were from the Kamma, Velama and Reddi communities.^[6]

Not one of those sources is reliable. It is all caste puffery, even the Andhra University effort. - Sitush (talk) 07:26, 9 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
