Kapus as social change agents


From history it has been observed that many prominent and inspiration leaders have evolved from this community to change the destiny of the common man and the downtrodden.Many important personalities have greatly contributed to the upliftment of the downtrodden and fought hard against oppression and social evils.The most prominent among them are listed below :-

  • The Great Vijayanagram King Sri Krishna Deva Raya who rule is considered as the Golden Age for South India was instrumental in uniting all people and thwarting the Muslim forces who threatened to destroy the whole of South India.
  • Prominent freedom fighter Katta Bomma Naiker who was first leader to revolt against the British even before the First War of Indian Independence in 1857.
  • Periyar considered as the "Father of the Dravidian Movement" changed the course of politics in Tamil Nadu to make a model state where caste has taken a backstage in their politics.He was instrumental in ending age old domination of Hindu dharma by some upper castes and opened the doors for the socially backward and oppressed.
  • Vemanna called The People's poet fought hard against the hipocracy and oppression of the rulers of his time.
  • Inspirational Leaders like Late Vangaveeti Mohana Ranga who fought for the downtrodden and the oppressed.
  • Social reformer and Father of South Indian Cinema Raghupathi Venkayya Naidu who fought against social evils prevalent at his time through his inspiration and social conscious films.
  • Mega Star Chiranjeevi with his social service and chairty works was able to win the hearts of all the people of Andhra Pradesh.

Inspiration from these people have mobilised the people from this community to unite to fight for their proper share due to them and change the present political and economic mess the state of Andhra is right now.

  1. కట్ట బొమ్మ నాయకర్ "బలిజ, తెలగ, ఒంటరి" వర్గానికి చెందినవాడు కాదు, తమిళనాడులోని తెలుగు "తొట్టియ కంబళి" కులానికి చెందినవాడు..

    వేమన్న కాపు కులస్తుడే .... కానీ అతను మన "బలిజ, తెలగ, ఒంటరి" వర్గానికి చెందిన కాపు కాదు, నేడు రెడ్డి కులస్తులు అని పిలుచుకుంటున్న "కాపు" సామాజిక వర్గానికి చెందినవారు...
