I belong to the Reddy caste. We belong to a nomadic North Indian group originating from Hariyana (supposedly). Reddys have historically been warriors and farmers. Some say that Reddys are descended from an earlier form of village police (also resisting Muslim incursion). Most Reddys are found in Central and Southern India right now. There are many many castes which are similar to Reddys... I think Rai and Rao may be related castes. My particular family was in charge of several villages. We used to have an old fort in our possession, but that whole area as been locked down by infidel Communists. There is an old tradition which says that Reddys fought on the side of the Kaurava during the Mahabharata. After having lost the war, we moved south so that the Pandava supporters won't persecute us.
