Balijas are concentrated throughout Andhra and
Rayalseema Region, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka.
This is the only Subcaste of Kapu which bears both the titles Setty and Naidu.
Balija is Primarily a Warrior/Trading
community by Occupation they seem to have been formed by a small Social
Change that seem to have occurred among some sections of the Kapu community
the Original Balijas seem to have migrated form the Balijipeta, Srikakulam
District According to some Historians. Veera Balaingyas were
mentioned in Kakatiya inscriptions. They were powerful and wealthy merchants
who were highly respected in Kakatiyan society. The Balijas had the title
Setty and were primarily Tax collectors and Merchants.
The following are the major Balija ruling clans or
Dynasities which comprised the heart of Vijayanagar Empire. It is also said
the great Emperor KrishnadevaRaya had a Balija/Kapu Origin.
Araveeti Dynasity the last Dynasty of Vijaynagar and
its ruler Ramaraya the last ruler of the Vijaynagar Empire was a Kota Balija.
Maduri Nayaks
Tanjavur nayaks
Ceylon Khandi Kings
Penukonda
Kalyanadurg
RayaDurgam
Chandragiri
Udayagiri
Kasturi Nayadu, Peda Koneti Nayudu of the Vasarasi
family of Balija caste ruled these Provinces.
Most of the Balijas refer themselves as Kapu/Telaga in
Andhra and as Munnuru Kapu in Telangana. But in Rayalaseema Area they are not
referred as Kapu but as Balija/Setty Balija/Balija Naidu/Naidu here
Kapu refers to Reddys another Community. However they retain the caste
title Naidu
Balija Branches
Setty Balija These were the Rich and
Powerful Traders and Merchants of the Kakatiya Dynasty. There was mention of
some very old Trading Guilds concentrated in Bellary in Karnataka. In fact
Historian's suggest this was the first branch in Balijas.
Balija Naidu Balija Naidu is a derivation
of the term Balija Nayakulu. This sub caste seems to have formed during the
Kakatiya Dynasty times primarily to protect the Balija / Setty trading
caravans from being attacked by bandits. The current Anantapur Dt and Nellore
Dt were ruled by Balija Naidu Kings/Families.
Kota Balijasthe Araveedu dynasty of
Vijayanagar Empire was from this lineage so are the Madurai nayaks and the
Tanjavore nayaks.
Gajula Balija/Sugavansi Balija (Pure) Myth is
that Siva’s wife Parvati made a penance in order to look beautiful for Siva
and the person that brought her bangles riding a donkey was the ancestor of
the Gajula Balija.
Kavarai (Kavara Balija Naidu or Gavara
Balija Naidu)."Kavarai is the name for Balijas (Telugu trading caste),
who have settled in the Tamil country" as per Thurston of Castes and
Tribes of Southern India. Kavarais call themselves Balijas (Born from
fire).They use the titles Naidu, Nayakkan, Chetti or Setti and Nayak. Gajula
Balija is the largest sub -division of Kavarais. The equivalent name for
Gajula Balija in Tamil is Valaiyal Chetti. (The meaning of Tamil name
Valaiyal in Telugu is Gajulu (Bangles).Gajula Balijas attained this name as
they were involved in manufacturing and selling bangles initially though they
made their mark in various other fields later.
Rajamahendravaram Balija or Musu Kamma
Balija (Named after a special ear ornament worn by women)
Gandavallu or Gundapodi Vandlu (Supposed to
have originally Komatis)
Odda (Vada) Balija a subcaste of the Balija
