Devanga Purana | DK Views 9/3/2014 Devanga Purana | DK Views DK Views …My Life My Breathe My Views… Devanga Purana Posted by dkviews on August 2, 2009 Posted in: History. 19 Comments i 37 Votes History of Devanga Devanga is a sub-caste in Hinduism. They were one of the weaving castes in India. This page mainly deals with Devangas of Karnataka. Origins Devangas are of Brahmanical origin. They are Prakrut Brahmins (meaning brahmins by birth). The majority of them are weavers of silk and cotton clothes. There were also famous Devang kings like Boja Raja of Ujjain (Uttar Pradesh, India). Many were also warriors during Vijayanagar times, according to warrior stones found in Hampi, Karnataka. Their native state was the kingdom of Ujjain where even to this day they form the major community. Their chief deity is Chowdeshwari(Chamundeshwari).They are Typical Kshatriyas of South and can be compared with the Rajput and Thakur of North. As is typical with other castes, Devangas became an endogamous unit of weavers, either due to caste rules or due to typical social conditions of India. [edit] Myth of origin Devangas trace the origin of their weaving tradition to a sage called Devala Maharshi. According to tradition, Devala Maharishi was the first person to weave the cotton cloth and to give it to Lord Shiva, who up until this time had been using animal skin. When Devala was http://dkviews.wordpress.com/2009/08/02/devanga-purana/ 1/13 9/3/2014 Devanga Purana | DK Views taking the cloth to the king, demons came to attack him. Goddess Chowdeshwari (Chamundeshwari,a form of Durga,a warrior Goddess created by the Gods Brahma, Vishnu and Rudra, to fight the demon Mahishasura), perched on a lion, fought and vanquished the demons so that Devala Maharishi could give the cloth to the king.[citation needed].The woven clothes were taken to Lord Shiva. Check Devanga Purana. [edit] Sects Devanga was originally divided into two groups, the gandoru and namdoru. There were Saivite and Vaishnavite divisions among Devangas in the old days. Every one of the warrior sub sect have a sword in their homes. After the decline they settled in all parts of TamilNadu. Devanga Literacy in TamilNadu is High about 75% of them are doctors, Engineers and also in Leading Government Positions. source: Rigveda Devanga (Div am ga) was the first ever Bhramin who (OHM) comes to this world to give clothes to human beings Thiruvalluvar in his eighth poem says one cannot reach PARAMAPATHA until one surrendered to this Bhramin(OHM). Even to this day, the Devangas are either Saivites or Vaishnavites. In any Devanga marriage, bride and groom should not belong to the same sect (Saivite or Vaishnavite).For finding origin we have to explore RIG VEDA and history of Gayatri Peeda at Hampi from Vedic age which was started by Lord Shiva to SPREAD DEVALA Dharma throughout the world asper Sreepathy Panditha. Moreover the Psupatha of Laguleesa emerges and more Hindu divisions like Kasmira Shaiva were created by so many Saints based different areas. [edit] Devanga and Lingayat Lingayats were the most influential group in Vijayanagara empire. The Lingayats of the western telangana region were the kannada speakers. The Kannada Devanga and Kannada Lingayats were closely associated. Since telangana Lingayats are very highly disciplined and talented, Devangas had a very high respect on them and in fact considered them as a part of their community. At that time the Devangas of the telanga region are vaishnavites. Devangas regarded the Lingayats as shaivites and called them Lingayats. This group of telangana Lingayats served the Vijaya empire in all disciplines and as well as were the close associates to the King in all ways. Due to this relationship Devangas were able to find a place in the Kings court. At the time of Islamic invasion, this group of people has to leave the empire. The trading members of Devanga community, were able to lead the groups of people in the telangana region towards all of their trading destinations. Many moved towards the south(towards the river cauvery), due to the request from the royal community. This includes the major communities like Kannada Devangas and Lingayats. These kannada devangas as well as Lingayats due to their close association with telugu devangas and telegu was also predominantly spoken in the region, were using the end slang for respect as “andda” instead of “Ree” (a need of the day for the effective business). This group of kannada devanga where ever they moved, they moved together. Even today this group of kannada devangas does not conduct any festival without the consultation of Lingayats from both with in and outside, due to their very high respect to telengana Lingayats. These Lingayats of south lives as Lingayats with in the Devanga community and also maintains separate identity by having links with Lingayats of karnataka. Off all the groups moved in all the directions in many a place Lingayats and devangas had close association but live as separate groups. http://dkviews.wordpress.com/2009/08/02/devanga-purana/ 2/13 9/3/2014 Devanga Purana | DK Views [edit] Geographic distribution People of the same caste have different names in different states; Devangas are found in the states of Assam, UP, MP, HP, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Andhrapradesh, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Today many languages are spoken by Devanga people. Accordingly, they call themselves as Kannada Devanga and Telugu Devanga.There is no Tamil Devanga as such. Some even speak Marathi in parts of Maharastra. Devangas are found in most of the Indian states. There is also a large Kannada speaking community of Kannada Devangas in Tamil Nadu are mainly based in Kullichettipatti,Chinnalapatti, T.Kunnathur, Salem, Theni, Palanichettipatti (pcpatti),Theni, Bodinayakanur,Kambam, Tirupur, Coimbatore, Mettupalayam, Coimbatore, Komarapalayam, Pallipalayam,Erode, Dindugal, Aruppukottai, Sulakkarai, Madurai,sankaralingapuram, Chennai and Virudhunagar. In Kerala, Kannada Devangas are concentrated in a few villages ,prominently in Kuthampully (Thrissur dist), also in villages ,Karimpuzha, Kallanchira, Vallangi- Nemmara, all in Palghat dist, in pockets of Chittur (Palghat dist)& Kasaragode towns.In Karnataka they are predominantly present in Kollegal, Dodda Ballapur, Bangalore,Mangalore,Mysore, Davangere, Chitradurga, shivamogga, Hubli/Dharwad, Rabkavi, Rampur, Banahatti, Jamkhandi,Bagalkot,Bellary and Belagaum. As per information passed from their ancestors, it was said that they had migrated from Mysore zone, when these areas were under the rule of King Chikka Chamaraja Wadayar of Mysore (around 1660 CE). The migration is said to be due to incompatible sultanate culture and the bitter experiences the community faced in the Vijayanagara empire (1560 AD). These migrations took place in batches after batches, which has branched itself; some on the northern side of the Kaveri River, some on the southern side of the Kaveri and some towards the western coasts, including the present regions of south-western Karnataka and northern Kerala, looking for culturally safe and protective settlement. The high influence of local social structures, local languages, and lack of Kannada literacy has brought in many variations, including the accent among many groups. Their kula devatha(family deity) is Goddess Chamundeshwari, which is also the family deity of the Mysore dynasty. Also, in Karnataka a Malayali weavers’ caste called Chaliya officially identifies itself as Devanga. However, culturally they differ completely from Kannada Devangas as the later is patriarchal and Chaliyas are matrilineal and primarily goddess worshipers. There are 101 sub sects.Some of the prominent sub sects are Ladhegar, Balithars, Siddhu koluthar, Yenthelar, Kappelar, Iremaneru, Kal Kotlar, Chinnu Kotlar, Kanjil Kudithars, Segunthalars,Ampukollars, Sevvelars,Anilar etc.The Balithar sub sect people can marry any of the other 100 sub sects people. Some of the Devanga’s (Sects like Ladhegar, Balithar, Kappelar – Ship-goers) were traders. Ladhegars more in number and powerfull subsect with most of them in high power in TamilNadu.They having first preferences to do pooja in Sri Ramalinga Devi Temples. Some of them were tax-collectors in Kollegal during Tipu Sultan Days. This association could be the reason that the Chowdeshwari temples Kalasams have a half moon and a star. Like in old days men are married at a very late age, like 30. Women attain good education even today, hence the family have good growth. Some schools in Tamilnadu were constructed by Devanga community people and even today associations (Narpani Mandrams) of youngsters are running good schools. [edit] Trivia http://dkviews.wordpress.com/2009/08/02/devanga-purana/ 3/13 9/3/2014 Devanga Purana | DK Views Devangas, along with other weaver communities, held good appointments during Vijayanagar King Krishnadevaraya’s rule. North Karnataka Devangas are primarily cotton or Khan weavers, whereas south Karnataka Devangas primarily manufacture silk sarees, including both pure and art silk. This is due to their association with Sourashtrams (primarily silk traders) when they were in Mysore. It was also said that Saurashtrians migrated from Saurashtra, part of Gujarat/Maharashtra, and settled down in the places where Devangas settled due to their business relationships. Even today we can notice the presence of Saurashtrians in most of the places where Devangas had settled, especially in Madurai and Salem. Food habits of Devangas also change from place to place. Some of the Devanga communities are vegetarians. The tradition of yagnopaveeta among the brahmans was derived from devangas. Salem and Komaraplayam Devanga Chettiars are known for their non-vegetarian cuisines. [edit] Associations The international Devanga community has headquartered in Karnataka.Kannada Devanaga yuvaka sanga has office in lakkasandra bangalore (near to the Sri Ramalinga Chowedeshwari devestana)Andra Pradesh in North America have formed the Andhra Devanga Sangam Of North America (ADSONA).

  • The Political Construction of Caste in South India
    The Political Construction of Caste in South India Vijayendra Rao ([email protected]) Development Research Group, The World Bank And Radu Ban ([email protected]) London School of Economics and Development Research Group, The World Bank August 2007 We thank seminar participants at the World Bank’s research department and Karla Hoff for helpful conversations and comments. Jillian Waid and Babu Srinivas Dasari provided excellent research assistance. This paper reflects the views of the authors and should not be attributed to the World Bank, its member countries or any affiliated organization. We are indebted to the Dutch government, and the Research Support Budget of the Development Economics Vice-Presidency of the World Bank, for financial support. Abstract Are social institutions endogenous? Can measures of social diversity (e.g. fractionalization) be treated as exogenous variables in assessing their impact on economic and political outcomes? The caste system, which categorizes Hindus into endogamous and stratified social groups, is considered to be the organizing institution of Indian society. It is widely thought to have stayed stable for hundreds if not thousands of years -- so deeply resistant to change that it has been blamed for everything from (formerly) anemic “Hindu” rates of growth, to persistent “inequality traps.” This paper uses a natural experiment -- the 1956 reorganization of Indian states along linguistic lines – to demonstrate that the number and nomenclature of castes has significantly changed in linguistically matched villages (i.e. “mistakes” in the reorganization) at the borders of these states. This shows that the caste system is not stable but a pliable institution - endogenous to political change.

    WP 2018-12 August 2018 Working Paper Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management Cornell University, Ithaca, New York 14853-7801 USA More Heat than Light: Census-scale Evidence for the Relationship between Ethnic Diversity and Economic Development as a Statistical Artifact Naveen Bharathi, DeepaK Malghan and Andaleeb Rahman . It is the policy of Cornell University actively to support equality of educational and employment opportunity. No person shall be denied admission to any educational program or activity or be denied employment on the basis of any legally prohibited discrimination involving, but not limited to, such factors as race, color, creed, religion, national or ethnic origin, sex, age or handicap. The University is committed to the maintenance of affirmative action programs which will assure the continuation of such equality of opportunity. More Heat than Light: Census-scale Evidence for the Relationship between Ethnic Diversity and Economic Development as a Statistical Artifact⇤ By Naveen Bharathi and Deepak Malghan and Andaleeb Rahman† The association between diversity and development – both negative and positive – has been empirically tested for a limited set of diversity variables despite its centrality to the political economy discourse. Using a unique census-scale micro dataset from rural India containing detailed caste, religion, language, and landholding data (n 13.25 million households) in combi- nation with administrative⇡ data on human development, satellite measurements of luminosity as proxy for sub-national economic development, we show that an association between social hetero- geneity and economic development is tenuous at best, and is likely an artifact of geographic, political, and ethnic units of analysis.
