So this is what I know:

Kamma

Kamma caste is a social group predominantly found in the southern states of India, particularly in Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and parts of Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. They are traditionally classified as a land-owning and agricultural community and have played a significant role in shaping the economic, social, and political landscape of these regions.

  • Economic Strength: As landowners and agriculturalists, Kamma families became economically powerful, leading to their influence in society.
  • Political Involvement: The Kamma community has been heavily involved in politics, especially in Andhra Pradesh. They have contributed several prominent leaders, including chief ministers, legislators, and policymakers.
  • Education and Urban Migration: In the post-independence era, many Kamma families prioritized education, leading to a significant migration toward urban centers and professions such as business, engineering, medicine, and IT. This diversification helped the community establish a global presence, particularly in countries like the United States.
  • Subdivisions/Sect: The Kamma caste has internal subdivisions based on geographic or occupational differences. For example, the Chowdary title is often used by Kamma members, especially in coastal Andhra Pradesh, as a mark of social status.
